Eh. I'm not a big fan of "the race card" language. But, yeah, I do think she does try to set herself up as Such An Important TWOC Voice that it means you have to listen to her, even when she spews vile bile about you and calls it "joking" or fair turnabout.

That's the thing that's wrong with some of this identity stuff, when we turn it into "someone who experiences multiple oppressions must be listened to" and then canonize any vocal person to come along.

I mean, why is Voz treated like such a superstar when there are people like Monica out there who are talking about being trans people of color and who are not using transphobic slurs and mocking people's bodies to do it?
