Why do pretendian orgin stories always seem to be the same? They all seem to have miraculously heard from their dying grandparent, on their death bed, that they finally admit they have been living a lie of pretending to be white their whole lives, but are finally coming clean.

In my culture, Dakelh people could decide to live as a man or woman regardless of their gender assigned at birth. They were not judged for it. Queer Natives were highly revered so much that they could become a medicine man/ woman.

It's so cringey to see pretendians centering all their posts on being Indigenous and the fake hardships they face. 🙈

White passing Natives experience less racism and discrimination than their Black and brown, or visibly BIPOC relatives. Their lives will be easier. Looking white does not make a Native person less Native but it does make them more privileged.
