Not leave your fitness as I've been a bit of a weirdo in my opinion, that's just my I do observation. What I will say is I was finding it really interesting when black women and other women of color choose to align themselves with transphobia and turf. Mainly because women of color have always been over scrutinized and overpoliced when it comes to presentations of gender and femininity, right? Historically, socially, whatever, like, and we're still living with those impacts today specifically in the world of sport and fitness, right? Caster Cementia, Aman Khalif, duty chanda, Brittany Griner, Serena Williams, like all these women who are women of color and have been told or like perceived as more masculine or whatever because of the way they look, because of the way they carry muscle, whatever. And so for black women to align themselves with misogyn more as well as transphobia is really interesting because like they'll come for you too. Historically, they've always come for black women's femininity. Historically, they've always come for women of color's femininity if it doesn't align itself with whiteness and with a very specific view of what it means to be a woman. And obviously, this links with like the move right and like the rise of conservatism. But yeah, I don't know, the food for thought for black women choose who you align yourself with properly because hey, you might be a skinny black woman right now, but they will find a way to tell you that you're not a woman.
