So I've been seeing a lot of white folks going the sad but predictable route of not believing any of the Black folks on here who have stated repeatedly that Eris and her cronies are super racist. So, even though a number of you still won't believe me, I'm going to give you examples of a few of the times that she has specifically targeted me with racist mistreatment (that I know about).
My direct experiences of her began when I wrote this short essay about white supremacy and gender binarism, which you can read here: https://medium.com/@evasblog/gender-binarism-and-white-supremacy-69df9b7c1cd7
Now, I'm going to just highlight that I spoke specifically about how white supremacy has, via the patriarchy, long sought to crush gender diversity as part of the process of colonization. White colonizers would consistently characterize people of color (especially folks who today would be considered Black) as savage and "uncivilized", and they would point to their differing gender norms as proof.
They were explicit at the time that their goal was to spread white supremacist patriarchal norms in order to culturally dominate these other societies. Nowadays, we live in the world they built. I'll come back to that later.
Eris did not like that I wrote this essay, I assume because I called out that people who claim to fight transmisia but fail to divest from white supremacy are actually enforcing the gender binary and are therefore transmisic by default. She made a post disagreeing, including the section highlighted below (more to follow in next post):
