second-plane Mr president, the predominantly cis radlibs claiming that “all tankies are transphobic” are about to visit the trans tankie website and discover we’re even more far left because of our queerness, not despite it

    I see this a lot with folks talking about how we defederated from blahaj. “Well their head mod is trans so how can they be an unsafe place for trans people!” We have many trans mods and trans users Hexbear and everyone agreed that blahaj was not a safe space for our trans community. Libs ignore the multitude of trans voices here in favor of the few trans voices elsewhere that agree with them because they don’t really care about trans people in the first place. It’s all tokenization. Insert any marginalized group in place of trans folks and the point stands. Libs don’t care about anything but their own image and they don’t care who they use or who they hurt to maintain that image. It’s kinda disgusting. But they’ll say we’re somehow the ones harming marginalized communities because Stalin did a bad thing once 70 years ago or something.

    Our cis straight folks here are generally at least pretty good about listening instead of tokenizing. It’s not even hard just…don’t post dumb opinions about groups you aren’t a part of. Pretty much job done. Libs can’t even do that.

      It’s pretty common that trans spaces online get swarmed by cissie chasers, even Chinese ones. If you don’t stamp that shit out it’s not going to be a good space
