| 3rd Wave Feminists are engaging in RuPaulphobia |
UK's National Union of Students has passed a policy to stop gay men appropriating black female culture.
Delegates at the Women's Conference today, many of them self-identified feminists, have passed plenty of motions.
Just one of them was ensuring everyone at the conference understood that some behaviors were damaging.
On Twitter, they announced: 'Some delegates are requesting that we move to jazz hands rather than clapping as it's triggering anxiety. Please be mindful!'
A later motion passed was 503: 'Dear White Gay Men: Stop Approprirating [sic] Black Women'.
Put forward by the NUS LGBT Committee, they believe the appropriation of black women by white gay men is prevalent within the LGBTI scene and community.
'This may be manifested in the emulation of the mannerisms, language (particularly AAVE- African American Vernacular English) and phrases that can be attributed to black women. White gay men may often assert that they are “strong black women” or have an “inner black woman”,' they said.
'White gay men are the dominant demographic within the LGBT community, and they benefit from both white privilege and male privilege.'
They claimed the appropriation is 'unacceptable and must be addressed'. Passing the motion, they agreed to eradicate the appropriation of black women by white gay men and to raise awareness of the issue.
A second motion passed was the banning of cross-dressing or drag as it could be offensive to trans women...

Soooo, The liberal ideal of no member of a minority every having to witness something they dislike runs face first into the fact that some minorities don't like the habits of OTHER minorities.
Might I suggest a minority picking order to decide who's right to be 'unoppressed' supersedes who's? perhaps the smaller the minority the greater the 'right'.
