I will never understand this attitude towards our trans bothers and sisters. They are part of our community. They have done so much to further our cause.
Relative Depravation Theory. Short version, the establishment gave white gays a small taste of power and rather than trying to rasie everyone up, they lef their political power be co-opted to increase the margin between their status and the status of a lower group.
Oh, is that the name for it? I kinda noticed the same kind of thing with white women. Like, I always thought of it as the closer you already are to the top, the more willing you are to ignore those you consider below you.
It's pretty fascinating. Same thing happened in the 40s with workeer rights. Managers avoided living wages and safery regulations by threatening to hire Black workers to replacr striking white workers. White workers came back because it was more important to be superior than to be safe and paid.
Gays for trump are willing to sell put their own community for political clout, but don't realize as soon as Trump will happily put the target in their back in the next political cycle.
I don't understand why drag queens and transgender people are being used in the same sentence we're two completely different things one is like a WWE wrestler and the other one is a person struggling with the development of their body.
What unfortunate is either are being scapegoated and used as objects of hate for political gain. Neither are a threat, just human beings trying to live their lives happily so who cares how they are categorized?
That way of thinking is part of the problem for transgender people. A drag queen is not a real person it's a methodical character that is created for reactionary and entertainment purposes. They don't need medical intervention. They put the focus on themselves when they started entertaining children
And the LGBT community encouraged that. They also encourage blurring the identities of transgender people struggling with body dysmorphia and gender issues. Two completely different kinds of people.
America has proven that their historical memory spans barely 70-80 years and that anything that happened before might as well have never happened. Otherwise you can't explain how people have forgotten that the largest Antifa America has ever had was FDR, basically a hero.
I'm tired of people glazing Roosevelt. After the total collapse that was the Great Depression, he chose to save this shitty ass capitalist system. I truly hope he's rotting in hell for that choice alone.
Imagine America as a communist nation. Things would have not gone better, as history has shown. Capitalism? Not in essence bad if done properly. American capitalism? Yeah, shitty. But it's not all white or black in this world. See the Nordic nations.
Anyway, the Nordic Nations are having the same issues we are experiencing. There have been huge swings to fascism all across the globe, and it's because Neo Liberalism doesn't want to solve the problems it created
did it make you feel better about yourself? you can criticize their social policy while recognizing their achievements/greatness. it doesn't make you a bad person
Different times. Bad times. Shall I remind you that one of the largest academic hotspots for eugenics was America back in the day? Stanford U. Hard to believe.
True, so true.
I used to think that, as a species, we were slowly evolving into something better, at least, if not in terms of genetics, in terms of society.
Recent events made me doubt that assumption, sadly.
To be fair, that is how long most people here live. It's a lot harder for most people to vote based on things they never experienced, especially when education here is so poor
Oh, that is sooo good. Those assholes piss me off so badly. As gays we owe our fucking freedoms to drag queens and transgenders as much as we do ourselves.
We were arm-in-arm marching against Anita Bryant in '77 so I know damn well what we're heading back into if those little pricks have their way.
Point of order: “transgender” is an adjective, not a noun. We’re transgender people, not transgenders. No more than Black people care to be called “the blacks.”
Quit being a prig about someone standing up for their rights. The kids you thought of as “tattles” in grade school grew up to be adults, same as you. And guess what? You need us.
You need our refusal to give up. You need our insistence on being heard. And clearly, you need an attitude adjustment.
No honey, we don't need you. In fact, we'd be better off without your ilk. Y'all demand respect that you do not give in kind. That bullshit has a hand in the fire that's being rained down upon us again.
Your version of standing up for your rights is lethal to the cause. Grow up, brat.
🤌🏼 all of this and the people that don't understand and don't comprehend I truly feel bad for their profound ignorance of these people's thought process.
Your average gay, bisexual, and lesbian don’t target kids so not sure if that’s even close to being true. But you know, time will tell and we’ll circle back to this in the near future. Lol
I once knew a trans-woman who was convinced that the trans community was super toxic, and that trump was going to lift the country up out of that liberal-generated toxicity.
I think i still have a mark on my head where my hand hit it listening to that.
only thing wrong about this is that the cis gay men near them will be first - the trans people are smart enough to know how to avoid these lunatics instead of help them
It’s almost like they never heard about the night of the long knives . When Nazi soldiers turned on the S.S. and killed all the high ranking homosexuals in charge of the military.

We should start using this as our Rallying Cry ageist Discount Hitler and his followers.
I was baffled.
I'm saying he protected a system that clearly failed.
We had a real chance for sustainability, and we let it go in service of the staus quo.

This is paranoia

You remind me of vegans and this type of crap will just turn people off.
You just become a useful idiot for people that want you dead.
