    eh, i think the trans rights has been hurting the general left’s aims. we’re on the verge of an eco-collapse, rise of fascism, and the birth of a dystopian neo-fuedal society. fixing those things takes precedent over some goth kid that insists everyone be nice to them.

      Wow, it’s trans rights is at fault for the Republicans running into the arms of fascism instead of helping people?

        it’s just a niche issue that frankly turns some people away. it has nothing to do with republicans, but rather getting centrists and undecided voters into our camp.

              Trans people making everything about themselves? What the fuck are you talking about? I only ever hear about “trans issues” because of the right. Trans people just want the right to exist.

              If you think the trans community trying to defend ourselves from constant attacks equates to “making everything about them”, you lack so much empathy that I honestly don’t even know where to start.

              If your idea of leftism includes disregarding the ongoing genocide of oppressed minorities, I have to question what the hell do you think is “leftism”?

      “First they came for the trans folk, but i remained sitting bc i thought their rights were inconvenient for my other political aims and they were mean to me that one time way back.”
