This is going to be very nuanced and very divisive. I hope you will do me the courtesy of reading the whole thing and digesting it before commenting.
Okay?
Good, here goes:
I think many people in our party misunderstand what a congressional leader is.

This thread is very poignant and worth every minute of the time you spend reading it.
I’ve been guilty of the vibes-based demand-making described here in the past and it can be a struggle for all us to acknowledge & understand other peoples’ perspectives. We could all stand to do that more often.

We don’t owe them anything. They spent a decade ignoring obvious evidence implicating the most guilty while fabricating insane accusations against the innocent.

Look, it’s the President of the United States shitting himself on camera, the people right behind him visibly reacting to it, and then his staff forcing all the press out of the room so they can get him cleaned up.

That would be a great idea, if the entire WH press corps weren’t a bunch of crabs in a bucket, just trying to claw their way past each other and tear each other down. None of them would recognize “journalistic integrity” if it jumped up and slapped them in the face.

The pontificating you see from them about us, about our sexual actions, about an alleged moral failure behind the reason that we transitioned at all, is just another way to suppress necessary voices from people they can only conceive of as gross annoying women.

If liberal and leftist media figures want to actually gain the full, unconditional trust of trans people moving forward, they have to recognize that the reason why we’re angry reply girls is because it’s the only way we actually have any voice in the conversations about us.

It’s partly because they truly believe in nuclear family values over queerness.
However, this proved to be collaborative with the right in its genocidal campaign against trans children because they largely agreed with its message. For this reason, their pushback wasn’t strong enough.

This world is as petty and cruel as it is today in part because of transmisogyny. Both from American politicians as well as British media commentators.
However, American media isn’t free from this grave sin either. Even its “good guys” have been very eager to hop on that train.

That is the story of many a trans woman.
Chelsea Manning also comes to mind, she was the leaker whose files kicked off the Arab Spring, but Julian Assange got the credit that mattered.
His residence at the Ecuadorian embassy in London can be traced back to evading rape charges.

If the answer is what I think it is (they still don’t respect transness and women enough to give a shit), that just goes to show you how willing people are to side with figures as powerful and evil as Epstein just to punish and erase a trans woman - for simply being herself.

You will look at this and think that Hamilton does not deserve to be talked about as such, since the work he’s doing now is radically left and therefore that means he’s moved on from tranny bashing an Epstein victim.
