I think there’s a really unfortunate trend in people’s thinking that like, belonging to a marginalized or oppressed group makes you an ethically better person (either generally or individually) and like that sort of moralism is really unhelpful to any discussion and also doesn’t track into reality. It also results in like, someone’s status as an oppressed person being revoked by their individual moral failings, which obviously makes no actual sense
I think it comes from a place of viewing goodness as a lack of bad, rather than a separate quality one has to strive for.
Like, someone being trans makes them (probably, but not necessarily) less transphobic than a cis person, and people misunderstand the lack of the bad quality (transphobia) as a sign of a present good quality.
“Good is not a thing you are, it’s a thing you do?”
