LHOD absolutely nails it and I’m quoting their post in its entirety because it’s so good:

> This is a pretty important point to pull out: to the extent–the _only_ extent–that I’ve seen **Demontree** express any concern over racism, it’s in service of a campaign to deprive transgender folks of rights. She’s wielding the concept of racism as a cudgel against people who oppose her political stance on a completely different subject, and co-opting **monstro** and **ywtf** ’s story to support her position. She’s explaining to a person of color why they’re wrong to think this isn’t an example of racism. She’s turned a thread about fucking _shampoo labeling_ into an arena in which to relitigate her anti-transgender views: maybe people don’t oppose her because they’re misogynists, maybe it’s because they’re racist!

> This cynical approach to conversations around racism is some pretty aggressive nonsense, and it’s a tricky thing to navigate without violating board rules. I’m having to watch what I post pretty carefully on this topic, and it’s in danger of becoming too toxic for me to remain without racking up a warning.

DemonTree’s little “here are two black people who agree with me so you’re a racist if you disagree! Checkmate libtards” routine is supremely tiresome. And par for the course every thread she posts in turns to one of her transphobic rants. She REALLY needs a topic ban.
