their rights ARE inconvenient to my other political aims and they WERE mean to me on several occasions. why should i care about them? they’re a tiny sliver of the population and have almost NO bearing on the welfare of society as a whole. furthermore, trans women ARE a threat to vulnerable women when placed in women’s safe spaces. TERF FOR LIFE. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
FUCKIN BLOCK ME ALREADY YOU LITTLE PUSSY BITCH. JESUS CHRIST YOU’RE ALL A BUNCH OF SNOWFLAKES.
something you have a say in is never somebody else’s fault when it goes wrong. we have known that they were a bunch of knuckle dragging morons, so why did we ever let them have any agency AT ALL? those people should have been put in reeducation camps a long time ago, but instead we let them overturn Roe vs Wade WITH ZERO REPERCUSSIONS. the left has gone soft.
THE ENTIRETY OF ALL THESE SUBS IS SHIT POSTING MEMES. you’re all a bunch of do-nothings and i’m sick of it.
at this point, i’m not even that attached to the ‘left’. the two sides have descended into so much tribalism, i forgot what the point was.
once upon a time, i had a naive notion that i might see some kind of new golden age of mankind emerge in my lifetime - an age of reason and humanity, where we used science to reduce suffering globally for all creatures. i believed the left was far more capable of achieving that than a bunch of backwards, christofascist conservatives, but i don’t even know if the left is reaching for those goals any more.
all i see now is a bunch of children that are completely obsessed with protecting a tiny fraction of the population at all costs, even if it means alienating anyone not in the lgbt camp. no one cares about the environment anymore. everyone talks about income equality and an end to police brutality but i don’t see anyone actually standing up to the fascists. every time the proud boys show up in portland, they just beat the shit out of the locals, who stand helplessly by with their phones out.
the far left used to be willing to blow up banks, train for guerilla warfare, and generally get shit done, but now it’s just a bunch of weenies crying about their fee fees. at this rate you’ll all be whipped into submission in the next 10 years.
and meanwhile, i’m just sitting here trying to accept that nothing i hoped to see will ever happen, and that i’ll go to the grave with no assurance of a better world for the people that come after me.
but hey, at least i won’t have to fight in the water wars 30 years from now. i’m just so done with all this shit.
there are plenty of people on the left that are sick of trans people making everything about them. get out of your bubble.
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.
welcome to life. buy a gun and defend yourself. most people see you as weak and defenseless. make them afraid.
EDIT: i’m not 100% safe either and i’m sis white male. i own a gun because i accept this fact. you want a 100% safe world? get rid of conservatives.
there’s always portland.
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.
just leave. they’re never going to accept you in the bible belt south. the sooner you walk away, the sooner their tax base goes down. and for all those “waah, it’s too hard to leave!” people: if you stay in a place where you know they want to lynch you, that’s on you.
i grew up in the south and i was ostracized too (and i’m a cis white male!). i know exactly how it is down there. there is no compromise. either the fed takes complete control of those states, somebody genocides the lot of them, or it will always be that way.
nah. i’m really not concerned. every time i’m in a trans community and i talk about issues other than trans rights, they treat me like a MAGA turd, so i stopped caring. we have bigger issues that affect a lot more people. i’m done being their ally. i’ll let them get back to me when they turn 23.
and you won’t do shit about it
