I'm Not Sorry for Speaking the Truth

Instagram Censorship and Gender Ideology Wars

Yesterday, I awakened to a notice that my Instagram account is suspended.

I am so turned off by Instagram’s rampant censorship. I meant everything I said in my appeal about never violating their TOS again. I only want to access my audience and content once again, so I can migrate everything and everyone over to my new space.

I would be happy with using IG as a platform for my Artistry, such as Pole Dancing, memoir writing, and the likes, as I used to.

As a self-employed individual and someone who is currently low-income, their ability to erase all of my foremost entrepreneurial and income-generating spaces, all because I shared youtube video stories of other detrans black lesbians (women who are in my own image!)…is quite frankly, violent.

Violence can be emotional, physical, financial, and/or structural. This is violent.

I trust that the people who banned and reviewing my account are white, and I made sure to highlight that what they’re doing to me goes against their own bullshit woke politics of protecting minorities and ‘oppressed’ groups.

It’s weird, because sometimes I feel like woke white people don’t know what to do with me. They can’t truly call me racist, homophobic, or any of the things they frequently spew at people who disagree with their politics.

The first assumption people make about me when they see that I’m gender critical is that I’m straight, and they start bantering towards me about how I’m oppressing the poor gays.

But once that doesn’t work, they solely rest on me being a transphobe, and will do everything in their power to disenfranchise me on that alone. However, woke white folks know their scope is limited, as far as what the violence they can openly enact against me, without inciting public outrage.

So if they want to take out the Big Guns on me, they’ll need to hide behind a brainwashed Black Cronie to do their dirty work. How many times have I seen white people shut their mouths on my Instagram page, not responding to anything I posted, yet liking a dissenting opinion from a “black queer” woman who did share her thoughts?

Coddling and comforting these ‘black uwu QTPOCS’, as if I’m a big bad wolf who hates and oppresses them, when literally these are the people who literally are in the same boat as me in every sense, despite our differing mentalities?

They divide us this way.

I am documenting my journey with cancel culture. I am not interested in using Instagram or Facebook as my foremost political platform. These platforms are not designed for any level of revolutionary thought. They are only welcoming to superficial activism and placatory woke bullshit. I am not interested in watering down my voice over issues that suffocate and seek to silence me.

I ultimately want my livelihood and my community to be sovereign from these Big Tech spaces. And while I currently may choose to use them as tools, I understand the need to navigate these waters with tact.

This gender identity war is not worth becoming a Martyr in any form. My self-care, healing, and integrity is more important to me than anything.
