When people visit #newmexico, they see a bunch of Brown people. They call us names like #Hispanic and #latino because we come from the lands conquered by the Spanish. They don't realize that despite our physical appearance, we come from dozens of different ethnic groups. Many of us don't even have Latin or Spanish ancestry, yet our "race" is labeled "Hispanic."

Just saw an excellent convo about affirmations for #masculine people. I got happy. Then I got sad when I remembered what's happening in the USA. We're being dragged backward at an alarming rate. We're back to struggling merely to affirm that #women, #LGBTQIA+ people, ethnic/racial #minorities, people with #disabilities, etc. deserve the same rights as everyone else, and to be free from harassment and violence. "Advanced" things like how stereotypes about #men (and similar topics) support and entrench #patriarchy seem like almost luxuries at this point. I feel like I'm going to spend all my day-to-day social justice time explaining to people that trans and queer and #Black and #Native and #Hispanic and #autistic and female people are human for the next few years. Ugh.
