if turek wins, pundits will say that abandoning trans people (and trans healthcare) is a good path to winning elections. If he loses, pundits will conclude that “trans activists” hurt his campaign and are therefore a danger to democrats electorally and not worth protecting. lol

so much of intracommunal queer discourse is downstream of the idea that, on a fundamental level, Queerness is a Western bourgeoise degeneracy

this encapsulates everything people have been saying - a lot of people on here don't actually believe that queer people are an oppressed minority, so they get upset when we compare our experiences to other experiences of oppression.
it's so crazy how "white privilege means that white queers are more able to come out and thus more visible" turns into the COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY RIDICULOUS statement "queer people are predominantly white". What a fucking idiot. Genuinely, how do you manage to be that dumb

Frankly patriarchy is not a western invention either and it’s just deeply historically illiterate to suggest that it is.
Frankly I often feel like people who claim patriarchy is of exclusively western origin do so because they feel like they wouldn’t care about it otherwise.

Don’t engage in discourse that puts you in a headspace where you have to come up with reasons to minimize the oppression of others in an abstract comparison detached from reality.
A lot of relatively well-meaning cis liberal/progressive people fundamentally don't believe trans people when we tell them about our lives and our experiences. They gender us correctly and say they want to protect us merely because that's the socially acceptable position.

the problem with a lot of you is that deep down you see queerness as white people nonsense and thats why every single time a trans woman of color speaks up about her struggles she gets called a white woman and dimissed because as we all know all trans women are inherently white

transitioning is a choice in the same way drinking water, eating food, and breathing are a choice.
transitioning is a choice in the same way chemo is a choice for people with cancer, the way insulin is a choice for people with diabetes, etc

Its genuinely sad how many people still think being trans is like some superficial choice people have. You can even see it in the way this is phrased, its just some frivolous fashion statement. Even people who would call themselves "allies" think trans people chose this life.
The reason why Vivek Ramaswamy thinks that running that pro-rape ad is good is because he's Indian. The endless deference to an abusive family and the thinking that the attacks will work is a very uniquely culturally Indian phenomenon.

Like this is such a SILLY conversation to have. “You can’t hide being black” “you can hide being queer”
I’m sorry but who exactly is being helped here? What is the goal of this conversation if not to powerscale oppression?
