Correct. it's not erasing you to acknowledge the validity of someone else's experiences and existence. Ever.
It’s been a heartbreak watching transphobia turn people’s brains to jelly. A 50-something gay man insisted, “I played with a Barbie doll as a kid. Nowadays they’d insist I was a girl and force me to transition!!!”
No. That’s not a thing that happens.
Stop being a hateful fool 😡

Lilly Reich worked with Mies van der Rohe while her work was completely unrecognized until architecture historians discovered that she was the uncredited equal contributor to the Barcelona Pavilion (and the chair that came with) and was the official administrator of Bauhaus until Nazis shut it down

I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

Many people in South Africa, where Elon is from, died to create a genuinely multiracial polity. They were killed by people who thought like Elon.
The people who thought like Elon also lost. Seems their “common culture” of white supremacy wasn’t enough.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.
