One way might be to stop referring to this as a white comm and talking about how white it is. Maybe, there are some white people here! Also some people who are not white! I hadn't really thought about this before, so if I'm phrasing this in a hurtful way I really don't mean to, as my feelings are not hurt, but it's weird to have people refer to a comm as being X, when you're in the comm and you are Y, and X and Y are not the focus of the comm. Like, it's fine to call this a female comm, because feminism is the focus. That it's mostly-white and mostly-cis is frankly, what people would expect from a comm that isn't specifically trying to be about race or about trans issues. My default for comms that aren't specifically black is, mostly-white-but-not-entirely.
I think the angry tag will be great! That may well help me a lot, as I can take it in when I feel stronger and not take it in when I don't. Thanks!
