The super fashy trans folk want the Fediverse to stay uncomfortable for Black folk. Some want to make it even more uncomfortable. Some are literal nazis.🤷🏿♂️ Some trans folk pretend to be surprised that there are actively anti-Black trans folk, and ask questions like, "But isn't the Fediverse welcoming to all marginalized communities?" I used to try to explain that being welcoming to one community isn't default welcoming to another, but now I just ask, "Have you never heard of the nazi phase?"
Defining a term "civility trap," and explaining why nazis wear suits, and why Obama never gets angry: A civility trap is where a Black person receives an intentional provocation. If the Black person responds with understandable frustration/anger, they are perceived as unreasonable / unhinged / untrustworthy. The original provocation is forgotten. If they respond reasonably, another provocation will follow. And more. Hundreds more. Nazis wear suits to try to make the contrast even greater.
