I don’t see why it’s stealing to compare reactionary behaviour across similar occurrences in different identity groups. Nobody is trying to steal from you or undermine anything historical, we’re trying to better understand current behaviour and that happens to be easiest to do when comparing to what people already know.
I’m open to taking this criticism from you but I need to understand specifically what’s negative about it because I really do not understand. Nobody would be mad at your struggle if it found a way to use “egg” or other trans terminology comparatively in another struggle. In fact I think I’ve used egg for things outside of trans struggle before.
Also I’m not american, which may be why I’m not understanding it very well.
uncle tom has specific meaning within history of antiblack slavery genocide and white colonial domination
white people using it on each other is appropriating the language as a generic insult for betrayal which trivializes that history. treating the legacies of colonialism and antiblackness as a rhetorical prop while they remain perpetrators and beneficiaries of that violence
fuck this genocidal zionist and fuck her weird antitrans ideology but shes not a slave
