r/TwoXChromosomes: You are the community. You have all the power of the internet to mold it.

And I'm sick of the performative "I'm a liberal and I see you" shit when behind closed doors or once in the voting booth, most white women don't seem to care about BIPOC women or their own damn human rights.

I'm a black presenting biracial woman who was unfortunately born and raised in the Bible Belt (moved! Thank you, geebus). I get the religious indoctrination is the reason so many white women vote overwhelmingly GOP, but how the fuck am I supposed to do anything about that or hope to change their minds? Should that even be my responsibility as a woman of color?

The majority of white women have been pressured into thinking the way they do and in that indoctrination, people who look like me are not beneficiaries of their approval and humane treatment. I have always known this deep down since I was a kid. Every side eye, look, glance, racially motivated passive aggressive comment I've received being a "light skinned black woman" in the south always reminded me not to trust that will ever change in my lifetime or many, many years after.

I'm so tired and give up bothering beyond just voting every election and keeping my peace of mind.

edit: thank you to those who have responded and for reading this rant.
