The Failure of Sisters, Brothers is a piece written by Azriel Pierce; transRAGEer, author, and womanist. Ziy communicates that racism was the first oppression (throughout species), and that it shapes gender and sexed lines. Pierce's argument revolves around how nonbinary and intersex people are unjustly attacked for their identity through racist structures, and that in order to fight gendered oppression, race must first be tackled.
