As a white+aboriginal, trans guy, I have had people not realise I was trans, and then indirectly discuss their feelings towards trans people, which = my existence. Sometimes it’s been positive like “oh yeah, idk much about that stuff but I’ll respect them”, and sometimes it’s people who don’t believe trans people are the gender they identify as, and being cunts.I am partly Aboriginal, but you can’t visibly tell. I have had countless people discuss Australia Day with me (the day the British invaded Australia, murdered and raped the people, and counted their deaths as the deaths of animals.)I’ve had them tell me that the indigenous people “should stop over reacting”, and when you mention it’s the celebration of an attempted genocide, they talk about how it was “so long ago” and “doesn’t mean that anymore”. ♂️ -- source link
