    But you also have to look like you belong in the circle: look like them, use their shibboleths. A Black trans woman will never be in the circle.

    That said, the circle is dumb and the people within it are asocial jerks.

      Eh, those things are flexible. If you’re willing to play the game, you can be inside the circle. See: Log Cabin Republicans, Raphael Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Ben Carson, you can be “one of the good ones” as long as you’re willing to toe the line.

      It’s not that they are asocial. It’s narcissism, plain and simple.
