yes, i got that. a QWOC, if i'm not mistaken? (we all seem to be acronym-happy now.)
i live in the DC area. i have seen first-hand the marginalization of black queerness by the local gay institution. i have also watched local black transwomen struggle with the issues that are specific to their communities, and the conflicts between them. we are, quite frankly, a very clannish town. (it may be the same elsewhere... i don't have that broad a frame of reference.)
if you are able to marshall your rage in such a way as to scrupulously avoid -ist generalizations, than you are a truly remarkable and extremely disciplined person.
