As outrageous as this might sound, the anti-electoral left is a much bigger threat to trans rights than xenopronoun disrespecters.

Traveling solo as a trans woman is googling "is X safe for trans women" and getting "X is very safe for wealthy white gay men"

This is just moral panic and fearmongering. If you have malware running on your machine, you have way bigger problems to worry about. Cloud culture has unfortunately trained many people to become unaware of the difference between local and remote storage/computation.

Ok but there's difference between "Biden is too centrist, old and ineffective and he should drop out" and "You shouldn't vote for him this November"

Here it comes. The next part of the ongoing and accelerating coup. if the democrats try to replace Biden the republicans will not allow that person to appear on the ballots. We are in a coup this is not politics.

The issue isn't much with people who criticize Biden, but with people who promote anti-electoralism (which causes Republican victories), and there are lots and lots of them in leftist spaces.

By positioning white trans women as exclusively white, a lot of cis people were excited because it was a brave new permission to remove the trans identity from us and reposition us as either white men or white women, depending on which was more convenient. Don't pretend people didn't do this.

People will do almost anything to co-sign abuse of transwomen so long as it leads to the applause of the crowd, hoping they can appease onlookers into thinking they're the good trannies - the safe trannies. The fallout from this shows me that absolutely nothing has changed. Learn THAT.

Which is not to say all such discourse *originated* with malicious intent. But you just have to find 1 counterproductive take from a well-meaning person, and swarm it with fake/malicious likes and approvals, to turn it into the new community status-quo.

I'll be completely unsurprised if in 40 years it gets leaked/FOIA'd that the inorganic propping up of afab-amab language, "you don't need transition" and "don't vote" discourse was enacted specifically to harm our movement and our rights.

There were 16 trans youth suicides after gender affirming care restrictions were implemented in the UK in 2020 compared with only 1 in the 7 years prior. Staff at the NHS attempted to cover it up. Hilary Cass knew but minimized what was happening. This is a massive scandal. Cass lied, kids died.

We need to learn now is that if you see someone in heavily left leaning spaces following consistent cointelco process and expertly maneuvering groups into conflict routinely, and their primary method of dodging culpability is identity politic framing, if it's not an op it might as well be.

The only reason why hating on them is "accepted" within the trans community, is because as per official mainstream trans narrative, they don't fall under the transgender umbrella.

Compared to 10 years ago (when gay marriage was the main contentious issue), the left has become way more moralistic. Back then finding out that a homophobic politician was sleeping with other men would've been considered an unambiguously good thing.

Pop trans politics defines transfeminine people as "AMAB who identify as women/women-like inside" but this provides no picture of everything that comes with being that kind of person, across the world and across generations, against great effort to destroy us.
