    The very notion that transphobia has to be a tool of the bourgeoise ( explicit othering a group to blame for the problems of another group … where have we seen this before?) is so ludicrously dumb.

    Transphobia exists because human nature is to other the thing you don’t understand, human intelligence is rooted in trying to learn about the thing you don’t understand. Transphobes and most conservatives are too afraid to go from fear to understanding. It’s why their views become stronger and more extreme against their opponents views who change with knowledge.

    This doesn’t have to do anything with class, it can have parallels and be exacerbated by class struggles but Jeb Goatfucker doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor if you are trans then he wants you dead.

      the idea that trans is bourgeoise is because pharmaceutical companies directly benefit

      sounds like quite the conspiracy theory though

    A more diverse audience discovers that all mods and admins on .ml instances are fragile as and allergic to facts. “Your pings won’t go through, they blocked us when we complained about the previous guy.”

    this is being misread right?

    Literally repeats the same exact transphobic propaganda.

    These people are fucking certifiable. This narrative is not rare or hidden on .ml or hexbear, and it’s absolutely amazing to watch these people finally being forced to confront it.

    Shout out to the dingus who namedropped OP and sighed about criticizing tankies, ‘with cause,’ ‘this time.’

    You’re so close. You can almost see the shape of it. Maybe… the labels we use… apply… to real things?

            “Tankie.” A label hexbear often denies as relevant to anyone or anything, or proclaims as good somehow… interchangeably.

            You witnessed someone with such brain rot - someone important and influential, even! - that they insist gender is a western psyop. And you still can’t recognize criticism of that brain rot, unless we all think you have stupid conclusions about the exact same things. Nah dude. Y’all just say dumb shit for dumb reasons, so long as you can blame capitalism somehow. That is what makes you tankies. You have some opinion that is so detached from reality, it can only be explained as assembling leftist buzzwords into an argument-shaped sentence.

              The most common criticism Ive seen is that “Tankie” is very abitrary and ill-defined. That it’s just used as an insult, which your second paragraph confirms. There is no substantive criticism you just hate us.

                ‘You make bad arguments for bad reasons, in a predictable pattern.’

                ‘La la la not listening you juuust hate us.’

                Like that.

                  you are stupid and make bad arguments for bad reasons in a predictable pattern, no I will not elaborate, you’ll just have to take my statement as fact.

                  Why are you ignoring me?
