Why the hell are so many trans women communists? We are living in the best society in the history of mankind for trans women. Capitalism and democracy built it. It did the medical research, developed the surgeries and gave us a legal framework to move on with life. Capitalism = trans rights. - ThreadSky

Capitalism = trans rights.

Fuck all isms. Two sides of the same control structure coin.

communism ≠ no innovation. Capitalism didn’t build anything. People did in a capitalist economy.

Define "communism."

lord-of-crime.bsky.social•1 day ago

A political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs, and in which the ruling party and state has the authority to govern all things.

So true. Capitalism is a human right.

Because the issue is never the issue

I personally know two trans women, from previous places of employment. Both have kind of centrist, boring plain vanilla political views. I mean, it is a very very small sample, but still.

Capitalism = the progressive destruction of the natural world and the continued expansion of a permanent poverty class which undergirds the entire thing. This is such an insanely privileged, shortsighted, incredibly naive take on your part, even compared to the norm.

That's not Capitalism. That's something that can occur within any "ism."

mishyana.bsky.social•1 day ago

*can* happen. Capitalism, to function, requires constant, generally unchecked growth and a permanent underclass. It literally cannot work without those things.

lord-of-crime.bsky.social•1 day ago

Checks can and should be put on buisness growth and reach within Capitalism. And as for the "permanent underclass" bit, there does exist a way through that.

I'm not just talking about the direct employees laboring under a capitalist system, I'm talking about the many, many, *many* economies and workers in foreign countries that are taken advantage of for both resources and labor to provide goods at costs that make a middle class feasible, etc.

Well, sure. That's Capitalism. There's a lot about what's enabled by such a system that needs fixing.

What’s your name in real life? Show face

mishyana.bsky.social•1 day ago

Janine Murdock. And I don't use my 'real face' in my avi because I don't need dipshit transphobes photoshopping a beard onto it. If you're that desperate for it though, here's an old pre-lasik photo:

brianna.bsky.social•1 day ago

Desperate. lol

If you’re gonna attack me put your face and name on it.

agnoster.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s weird because I always see you trashing people who think differently from you for being idiots, naive, etc. but if someone responds in kind you just… lose it

Being online is so bad for the brain. We’ve literally forgotten how to coexist as humans.

brianna.bsky.social•1 day ago

Girl give me a break.

mishyana.bsky.social•1 day ago

So you don't actually have a rebuttal, you're just going to fall back on "YOU DON'T USE YOUR REAL NAME OR FACE ONLINE, A PLACE FAMOUS FOR NOT USING REAL FACES OR NAMES" then, yeah? Even after I provide those things? Not to mention that was FAR from my most direct critique of you personally.

mishyana.bsky.social•1 day ago

And further, you do this in a discussion about a community you regularly acknowledge is in extreme danger in the current climate but can't stretch far enough to see why someone in that community might want to remain anon online? Do you actually think about what you're typing, before you type it?

brianna.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not really. If I wanted to talk to neurotic psychos I would’ve gone into psychiatry.

Just go take your rage bait back to Twitter already.

- The natural inclination of marginalized groups to align leftward
- Being trans is its own personal revolution, so you can imagine many would apply that mentally to the broader socioeconomic system
- Extremist politics being predatory towards the isolated and vulnerable
- Group conformity

makuatherton.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because sadly many trans people are in the thrall of the Far Left. I hate how both extremes of the political spectrum work against the trans community, in different ways.
