"Certainly not." *laughs maniacally*
What an absolute twatwaffle. Of course it does and he damn well knows it.
‘Eradicate - to destroy completely’
This is why it’s so critical for allies — and any person of good will — to refuse to give an inch in their support of trans folks.
Nothing less than full affirmation of trans humans’ dignity, value and existence is acceptable.

Being transgender is not.
So while it may be perfectly valid to call for eradicating a school of thought that encompasses the things fascistic conservatism does...
Please do not compare it to eradicating people who are trans. There is no equivalence.
So I asked you not to do that.
"Transgender ideology" is a favorite dogwhistle of bigots. There is no such thing.
Knowles didn't accept responsibility for the likely effect of his phrasing on transgender people, and I was suggesting that he might feel differently if the same wording was directed at his group.

The media’s complicity in our erasure is so demoralizing.
Thankful for people like you Ari!
Points to the interviewer for calling his bullshit out, but they didn't need him there for it. Just say "This guy's calls for genocide are factually wrong, besides being facially immoral."
Do we want media to actually push back or and do their jobs or not?
So, you put his words up over a blurred still from his show, optionally with a headshot up top, and get someone who knows what they're on about to say why he's fucking wrong.
I was commenting on the fact that giving people with these beliefs a microphone, even one with some level of pushback, absent virtually any opposing coverage is shortsighted at best.

nazism and nazis should be eradicated
And their public funding is now dependent on them bending the knee to facism.
How must they (collectively) be internalizing the release of the J6 felons?
Prisons are a corporate cash cow.
Not all prisoners have benefitted from US Justice system. Many are wrongfully incarcerated.
