I cannot be an antiracist if I am homophobic or transphobic.

”To be queer antiracist is to serve as an ally to transgender people, to intersex people, to women, to the non-gender-conforming, to homosexuals, to their intersections, meaning listening, learning, and being led by their equalizing ideas, by their equalizing policy campaigns, by their power struggle for equal opportunity.” Pg. 197

Self-Reflection.
I am cisgender straight white male and with this comes privilege. Cisgender means I identify by the sex I was assigned at birth. I need to reflect on how these areas affect how I am accepted in the spaces that I enter.

My responsibility as a human being and as an educator is to be antiracist in my ideas, actions and curriculum.

I do not expect Black, Latinx, Indigenous, AAPI and the LGBTQ+ communities to be teaching me. I would appreciate any misunderstandings or further learning opportunities be brought to my attention so that I do not cause harm to others from my ignorance.
