Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's a pretty marginal claim. You don't think that's true?
It IS true, but once liberals learned about it, it got bastardized into "we found a Black person who says Joe Biden is good and you're being racist for dismissing their lived truth."
Instead of deferring to oppressed peoples as an epistomogical authority on the conditions of their own oppression, they just dig up people from the same category and use the language of standpoint epistemology to position them as authorities on any arbitrary self-serving issue.
Essentially the same as cherry-picking transphobic "experts" to build up the Cass Report while ignoring the mountain of research that clearly shows transition is overwhelmingly positive and safe for 99% of people. Or finding the few pick-me trans people that will sell out their brothers and sisters for right-wing grift money (Blair White, Brianna Wu, etc).
