I love the corporate pride one because everyone is in board with not doing it this year except the organizers when they start actually organizing the event, every time
I remember when I went to my first hrt appointment, they asked me if my family had a history of schizophrenia. Like, if I did would they have not let me start hrt? Trans people with schizophrenia should be allowed to transition too.
Seems super easy to understand tbh everyone deserves to live,not gonna use a no true Scotsman here but like some people who use the word leftist just... Don't actually know what their saying lol
I think one of the most normal things I’ve said that scared people off was “i don’t think anyone should have to do anything to stay alive. Living should not be a meritocracy”. It got so quiet for like 15 minutes. Still haven’t seen some of those folks again.
just recently saw someone saying that cis people shouldnt have hrt because "it can have unwanted side effects". i don't think they realised where that argument comes from, and i certainly dont think replacing trans people with cis people makes the argument any more sound.
this is exactly what i want to say! why can a cis woman get a effin' breast augmentation because she didn't like how small her boobs were but i can't get mine reduced or hell, even removed without a doctor or that cis woman questioning why?
not to mention the shitty treatment disabled people get by the medical industry just for being disabled, no matter if you're able-bodied or not. this also applies to homeless people too. i think people should be allowed to have good sexual healthcare no matter what they are
I think folks should be allowed to have abortions, I think gender affirming surgery should be accessible too, I think pride discourse is fucking stupid and those who say that shit need to go to a real event, I think people who express their queerness specifically with sexuality are fucking cool.
I belive doctors shouldn't ask someone why they'd want to remove their uterus and insead give information about what that entails and answer questions honesly like doctors are SUPOOSED to do...
i think cis people should be allowed and even encouraged to get "cross sex" gender affirming care as well, cis men want breasts? cis women want bottom surgery? let them get it! normalize physical trait's not being gendered!
This. This right here. I am firmly comfortable with my gender but have long wanted a set of rockin' tits. It's not even for anyone, Id just feel a lot more confident/attractive if I had them.
People really don’t realize that things like breast augmentation and hairline grafts are, yes, gender affirming surgery!! Taking gender affirming surgery from one group takes it away from and hurts everyone in the end
as a adopted person, and as someone who was adopted at birth by my parents cuz they had a miscarriage, i know abortions should be legal for everyone no questions asked.
Pride is amazing if just for how all of us put aside the little petty infighting and oppression competitions aside to just be Us in one big queer family for a weekend
I plan to be an eldritch creature both on and off the internet, both sexually and just in aesthetic and appearance, and the people who don't like it can fuck off
And I appreciate all my friends that are little creatures too :3
I'm not sure which is worse, family thats openly far right or the cowardly bastards to afraid to take either side so they just call themselves centrists.
tbh I feel like if anyone has these biased oppinions on how marginalized people should live their lives AND they claim to be a leftist, then they're delusional are are actually probably moderate leaning right
is there even anyone who would label themselves a progressive or leftist who doesn't hold these ideals?
I feel like this is pmuch just baseline for progressivism, idk how anyone could call themselves a progressive without these core values.
There's a lot of "Leftists/Progressives in name only"; basically they give the appearance of being "good" by claiming to be progressive when they aren't actually.
Yeah, I also feel like they mixed up liberal and leftist. Especially considering how many leftists are replying here, including myself, who are like, yeah this is just part of our basic beliefs. None of us seem to disagree. No other leftists I've ever heard of would disagree. Liberals however...
I'm new here, don't really use these new fangled social medias much so hadn't heard about them, this was just randomly in my feed but that's good to know. And yeah, good question.
It does have the mendacity of centrist cringe about it. Though, I'm trying to take it more as an outsider's opinion of the system. I'm an old punk, so I respect that enough to hear it through. Nothing wrong with being contrarian.
I'm not sure I actually "care" about anyone, other than my wife and child. Yet those seem like perfectly reasonable view, to me. And no, I absolutely fucking WOULD NOT be shocked by anything humanity says or does. You clearly aren't aware of me...yet. Hi, it's nice to make your acquaintance.
100% certified facts. Also you should probably put people who are anti-sex on this list to (I don't mean asexual people/people who don't like/care about sex, I mean people who are just against the free concept of sex/eroticism for anyone) they shouldn't consider themselves leftists either lol 📌

Its weird to call themselves something but not understand what goes with it 🤔
Want to see my genets?

Honestly, I hate that this needs to be said at all.
