I said what I said.

its always so crazy to me that large white creators will always do "okay lets talk about poc issues" then they follow 0 poc, rt 0 poc's posts for awareness, dont engage with them at all and even sometimes speak over them and its really disappointing imo

It's a flimsy political move. They're all about LOOKING the part but they put no effort in actually PLAYING said part.

@MelxRedgrave also her bragging about how her family did settler colonialism in the Bahamas was always an incredibly telling thing

she has a certain insincerity about issues that do not directly affect her that is so off putting. it is reminiscent of white liberal arts college students preaching about injustice they’ve never once faced.

@GigaHonaholic It's definitely Tumblr style liberal slop for sure.

theres so many people like this not too long ago a girl i linked up with did some similar shit then complained about how ugly the affordable housing is in midtown, and how it should be demolished…

i watched the whole video and i think it’s weird that she keeps calling the issues trans POC face “hyper-specific.” it just makes the whole thing sound more disingenuous. like “of course i didn’t talk about it before, it’s so niche!” even though it’s insanely prevalent

I sat there like "I didn't know black people were on the same level of obscurity as PC-88 rpgs."

that’s what i’m saying like.. it’s not that hard to talk about these things. or at the VERY least learn about them

@MelxRedgrave theyre “hyper-specific” because those issues are concentrated in tpoc communities, she never said that makes them less important or “obscure”???and she literally did talk about them?

@MelxRedgrave hyper-specific absolutely means more obscure which is the issue. it diminishes the actual magnitude of the problem because it affects a ““small”” subset of a community even if that’s not true

@MelxRedgrave hyper-specific does not necessarily refer to something that is small in nature even if it can, it can refer to something that is also targeted excessively(hyper) to something precise(specific, lol) such as an issue that specifically and excessively effects tpoc.

@MelxRedgrave the semantics and the actual impact or intent of this can differ. and the impact is that when you call something hyper-specific, it tends to minimize it whether you want it to or not

IM SO GLAD I WASNT WRONG ABOUT HER BEING CRINGE, you read her for filth I also found it super weird she said she doesn’t consume trans content. And she is weird/annoying about trans men. Also not to take way but your eyebrows and hair look very pretty

Thank you, Thank You! :3c

Yeah she REALLY rubbed me the wrong way with that video. Struck me as "I'll do what you want if you'll be quiet about it." The "Consume no trans content" part also struck me as self important.

She's like a games journalist that doesn't actually play any games.

Right?!? Like what is it with these white trans creators who think they're so self important? Like you present yourself as someone who speaks about trans issues, yet you don't consume other trans content? What?

It would be different if she said she didn't feel she should speak on issues affecting trans POC, but she's going to make an effort to uplift POC voices. But it's really hard to do that when you don't follow any POC so...

Basically it's "White Girl talks on issues that affect her and thinks it affects the entire community" transitioning into "White Girl who's going to talk over POC talking about their issues" Ugh, I'm ranting now.

Go AWWWWF, doll. ❤️

It's just so fucking tiring. Also, maybe I'm cynical, but I'm betting the only reason she made a video about this is because her white friends started calling her out on it and not because the shitload of Black and POC creators doing it.

had to fr check what she meant by "hyper-specific" and its RAPE RINGS???? she rly did try to play it down as some niche thing

She tried to downplay a lot in that video. With the most petty nit-picks.

i dont even have a problem with her not engaging in the trans community, OR I WOULDNT IF SHE WASNT A TRANS INFLUENCER THAT LOADS OF TRANS PEOPLE LOOK UP TO like theres a degree of responsibility that falls upon u after that?? at least PARTAKE SOMEWHAT in the community??

Hamburger chef: "I don't eat hamburgers." type shit.

NO LIKE GENUINELY😭😭

YO I THINK WE WERE MOOTS ON TIKTOK DIDN’T EXPECT TO SEE U HERE :D Also everytime you call our Sabre i smile and shed a tear i genuinely can’t stand her

We might be! Good to see you!

I deleted that stinky app after the new “fuck trans people and minorities kill everyone” tos they fucked up my fyp algorithm anyway 😒

thank u for making a comprehensive video detailing this! i have her blocked so i didnt even realise this was happening but it explains so well why her vids always feel so uncanny, esp when she talks abt "discourse", but literally all her trans content ive seen feels manufactured.

She's quite un-based and highly fed-pilled.

Who is this girl? I keep getting her stuff recommend on Facebook of all places

Sabre/Bottleneckloser. An incredibly tone deaf influencer/content creator that syngergizes dumbfuckery with whimsy.

@AlanaFeral Like every other trans woman on the internet she gets hate over the pettiest bullshit that no other creator would even have to think about.

@AlanaFeral I think if you saw the entire video, it's pretty clearly stated that the issues I've raised aren't petty. Grant yourself the chance of understanding.

@AlanaFeral It's extremely petty. Get over yourself holy shit - do you think it would be appropriate for me as a trans woman to harass every non-trans LGBT creator for not centering my community enough? No, that would be fucking stupid!

@AlanaFeral So Sabre is every trans creator? I took umbridge with the behavior of ONE prominent trans woman and you're over here getting mad that your favorite caught hell. If anything it speaks volumes about you because your complaint has nothing to do with what I've actually said.

@AlanaFeral LITERALLY EVERY prominent trans woman has someone "taking umbrage" with them, that's exactly the problem. I don't even like Sabre's content all that much but I will defend her because I fucking despise this mentality within the trans community.

@AlanaFeral You're not even defending her on any substantial grounds. You're just upset. This whole situation with you and your emotional reaction is entirely a "you" problem. I said what I said clearly. If you can't grasp it and respond based on what was actually said, that's on you.

ppl downplaying this as "pointless infighting" when its trans poc rightfully pointing out how popular predominantly white trans women are treating trans poc. Like name one time a popular transgender creator has uplifted and platformed a black trans woman or even asian or hispanic

@RealWolfAubrey You don’t fix systematic issues by targeting individuals 🚬, this is such a waste of damn time.

@layliumini @RealWolfAubrey You're right, however I'm not expecting this to fix systemic issues. I'm expecting at the very least a course correction so that she operates her platform with considerably more consciousness than she has been. I get no joy in seeing her destroyed.

@RealWolfAubrey I suppose that’s a well time worthy reason to do this. I am just a bit tired of the general left community giving white trans women shit meanwhile they are already being used as a scapegoat to in-act policy to strip away all our collective rights. Saber is not the enemy.

@layliumini @MelxRedgrave she may not be “the enemy” in some immediate way, but this kind of behavior is what kills a movement before it wins white trans women are still white before they are trans and if we don’t recon with that, many will continue to act as oppressed oppressors

@MelxRedgrave How is she “killing” the movement exactly? Also I don’t find it particularly analytically useful to say “white trans women are white before they’re trans” I think that statement lacks accuracy in what makes someone be an oppressor. Comes more across as unhelpful divisive rhetoric

@layliumini @RealWolfAubrey It works in the same way that me saying that I'm black before I'm trans mean something. I'm seen from my blackness way more than I've seen for my transness in most cases. It's a societal based order of operations that a lot of people subconsciously run on.

@RealWolfAubrey I’d like to think people within our collision see each other by more meaningful aspects of their individuality. You are probably seen here far more by your rhetoric and action than either your blackness or transness. People that don’t, I fear are rather regressive in their views.

crazy that everyones putting it out in black and white for her and shes happy only reading the white of it ((get her ass))

It's wild as fuck, innit? Thank you. ❤️

Listen to my band @WolfHelvetica if you want to support black/brown art.

how is she so dedicated to making videos where she comes off as this unlikable and condescending

Because she has the aura of a Bradbury pear tree. And her friends are yes-people that wouldn't dare pull her to the side and check her.

@salmoncurse AURA OF A BRADBURY PEAR TREE IS WILD lmaoooo not the cum tree 😭😭😭

@salmoncurse Absolute *STANK*

COOOKKKKKKK Mel im so tired of white people

"You're so obsessed with making everything about race holy fuck"

@subbpunkk I always roll my eyes when I see her content. It’s no surprise about all of this other stuff.

@THEDENTISTIDV MORE SABRE ENDINGS #YESPLEASE

I didnt follow this much but this is still sad and I gotta ask Why is a white trans person speaking about black trans issues. I feel like it would hold more weight if a black trans person spoke on black trans issues

It would be ideal if she brought the issues up and deferred to voices more suited to speak on things.

@shikashii_ are you entirely dense or just choosing to be this way? She is white so doesnt speak on PoC, then gets called out for not talking about PoC and then you say she should not talk about PoC and let others talk about it... nah you contrarians are a fucking cancer ong.

@shikashii_ Give your emotions a moment to settle. Let your nervous system relax and allow the cognitive dissonance to dissipate. I said what I said clearly. You chose to misunderstand what I said.

@shikashii_ you come across like a complete narcissist, so yeah im sure everything you said sounds great to you.

@shikashii_ At best I think I'm decent. If you think me calling out racial bias and condescension is narcissistic... You've clearly never met a narcissist.

This is shit nobaldi cares about

Weak response.

I'm NOT going to listen to POC creators because they SUCK, and their content is ASS. Nobody likes black queer shit

Skill issue.

Your entire race can not make good content.

You're not good at this.

Also, btw you're fat and ugly and hide you ugly mouth with a diaper.

I swear your replies are like digital ambien.

She appears so much across my timeline, I wasn't aware it was like this 😕 disappointing, she needs to do better.

She should not be "mildly in tune" with marginalized voices, it should be a REQUIREMENT

Good shit girl keep that pressure on

OH, FOR SURE!

FUCKING FAGGOT GET OFF MY TIMELINE

CRY MORE, SOFT DICK.

God thank u so much for bringing attention to all this. I hope that the takeaway from this situation can be that the trans community needs to take accountability for just how normalized this poc-invisible attitude has become

Thank you for watching. I agree. I'm not interested in white guilt. I'm not expecting groveling. I expect progression & openness. I want to get along with white queers. I'm more interested in seeing how we can unify... But they MUST improve their ability to handle criticism.

With Subtitles:

"intellectually lazy" is such a great way to sum this up. too many people refuse to educate themselves on the plights of others and stay in their own comfort bubble. there is so much world out there to connect with if we choose to learn about, support, and love others

Respectfully...

Right so, you’re unserious. You refuse to address it in private so why address it in public?

All I’m saying.

Also, she’s being critiqued on the use of the word “hyper-specific”, but what is the context she’s using it in? “And I also made a video about the hyper-specific issues that Black transgender women face as opposed to other demographics of trans women.”

She’s literally saying the Black transgender experience is unique and no other demographic of transwomen experience that. Why is that wrong? How is that trivializing?

Shes always rubbed me the wrong way Im not surprised at all by this snarky and sarcastic ass response. Loved your response

She spoke against the DIY community at first, like we buy from blackmarkets and shit and that it's not better than pills (even though she never DIY at that point), and just started spreading bullshit, always knew she was a privilleged white lady and that eventually she'd do this
