I’ve long thought gender markers on IDs were stupid and so hadn’t bothered to update mine, but the thought people would use that as an excuse to call me he/him after my death might be just the push I need to get it done.

Black women, however, deal with a triple consciousness - having a black women’s identity in a white supremacist, patriarchal society. I think this short piece illustrates that struggle very well:

WEB DuBois was one of the first writers to talk about white privilege, IIRC.

Indeed, he was. He pretty much laid much of the ground work for our modern understanding of race in America (and globally, too).
