Just something I feel the need to say
Triggar warning for some.

I feel like being a woman of color and being apart of the LGBTQ+ community is dangerous and I also feel like it takes away from who I am. Because, say that a cis heterosexual white man were to kill someone, and then a bi-sexual woman of color were to kill someone, say they were both for the sake of defence, the man would probably not only get off easily but his actions would be his own. It's not like that for the second option, not only would it reflect poorly on her but it would reflect poorly on her race, gender and sexuality.
Like slut shaming for example, a woman would sleep with say, 5 men in a month and she's called a slut but a man does that and he's either congratulated for it or no one really cares. It's not like they go out of their way to insult him for doing something like that or even really care. I get that it's because of testosterone so men are usually more... Than women but that can't always be the excuse. It's like a woman getting violated by a man and then their excuse being " Oh it's was my testosterone " or some other excuse, there is no excuse for than and I'm glad to see that we are holding men accountable for that stuff but their are still more things that we need to hold people accountable for that I'm no going to cover right now.
From what I hear, women seldom get the harsh penalties that men do for killing. Very few women have faced the death penalty for murder compared to men of any colour.
However, you make an interesting point of all you represent. These days of identity politics makes that sadly true
