I'm sick to death of being expected to grovel to cis people. "Please sir, show mercy, just be a little less bigoted, I'll be good, of course I'll vote for you kind sir". Fuck that. If Your Party needs trans ppl to beg for our human rights to be taken srsly, it isn't worth shit to begin with.
i literally said trans people and their allies. i would never expect trans people to do that shit, i will continue to advocate for trans people regardless of how many trans people are in an organisation, but i am being serious here, organising is the only way. what other alternative is there?
We will not support your transphobic party.
It seems increasingly clear to me the only organising that's now worth doing is organising ourselves to look after each other until or unless such a time arises cis supremacism falls out of fashion. One thing I'm not doing is wasting my time trying to convince ppl I deserve rights too...
People seem to be too focused on the political parties involved and not enough on what needs to be accomplished. Sure we need to organize but I'm not supporting the liberal side of the democratic party. I wanna organize around people and not party. The party can die in white phosphorous for...
all I care. No party can be for the people anyways. Their own power always has to come first. If they didn't they wouldn't survive. So fuck em, we won't be rid of them soon but we should not concern ourselves with which one is "good".
...If ppl don't understand that already, they're not going to.
Yup
This I'm not even expecting full advocacy from people I just want to be allowed to live my life in peace without literally the world's most powerful institutions coming after me 🤨
💯
"It's a different kind of party. Unless you're trans. In which case it's the exact same kind of party where you're regarded as inherently subhuman, your human rights eternally contingent in a way your cis overlords would never accept applied to themselves."
Your Party - new darlings of the left - managing to be significantly more reactionary social conservative than Theresa May in 2017 What a fucking joke.
