AGAB language is now just sparkling misgendering

i absolutely think the transgender liberalism that is espoused by people like judith butler has harmed us. the "identify-as" framework epistemologically erases us as a discriminated minority group with unique needs. they're illegalizing us and saying we can "simply choose not identify as trans".

Thank you for writing and publishing this! It's so frustrating to see a show that has caused so much harm to my community to be praised for finally criticizing someone in power instead of mocking vulnerable minorities.

What is confusing about that?

Do the critics not understand that that is the entire point of it?

Who needs enemies with friends like this? We are so fucked. Perhaps Low(life) should rename it the LGB Victory Fund?

Not to mention Trump's entire campaign was based around identity politics. I don't think he talked about much else besides vague promises that everything will be better once he wins.

So according to the NYT we're only allowed to be less miserable but being happy is just a bridge too far... How dare anyone try to love their body or improve their life! Joy?! Happiness?! Bah! One step shy of suicidal is all you're allotted and not an ounce more!

You really want to know why we say you're both the same Jon? Because you are. Point in case, you have nothing better to do with your life than sit here making smug ass remarks at people terrified for their lives--just like your maga counterpart. Oh you're so smart though! Fuck off dude

Corporate sponsors completely ruined Pride so thank god they’re finally gone. If needs to go back to being about the community

Its really gross so many cis people feel the need to come here to basically say “all lives matter.” Tone deaf af.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

Its a lot less funny when you understand the intent is kill trans children. They don’t give a fuck about men with long hair and wont enforce it that way, what they care about is making trans lives unlivable.

This is also one of many reasons it doesn’t make any sense to believe that transhet women are more in harmony with heteronormativity than gay men are. If anything homophobia tends to falls HARDER on us.

It really would be nice if more dems actually had spines and cared about anything other than their “electability”

This has been my experience. Anecdotally, a previous partner was fine with being perceived as gay and would pressure me to dress boyish in public but was embarrassed to be seen with me if I looked too trans. Obviously it didn’t last long. The stigma is real
