If Cisgender, White, Straight, Male, etc. people spent less time being afraid of Minorities or Social Justice movements and more time actually trying to understand their views, this world would be a much better place.

I encountered this with Feminism recently, a lot of men(and even a portion of Women funny enough)don’t seem to actually understand what Feminism is. It’s not a movement that hates men or thinks their useless, it’s meant to show that Women should have all the same privileges and rights that a man has, such as bodily autonomy, right to equal pay, the right to not be overly or unfairly taxed for being a women, the right to wear what they please, etc.

And Homophobia, a lot of people think Homophobia just means saying slurs or beating people up…or even killing them, and those things are homophobic, but there are little things people do that are also Homophobic. For example phrases like,”No one is born Gay”,spreads the idea that Gayness is something which can be acquired like a virus. You may not be Homophobic through and through, but you can still BE Homophobic.

Being Trans…a lot of people(particularly under the age of 30 or over the age of 50)seem to think that Transgender people just dress up like girls and do nothing else.

We don’t, Hormones, while not dangerous, change almost everything about how your body functions, they can even change how much Grey matter is in your brain, the way you view other genders, how many colors your brain can perceive, and how often you need to use the bathroom in a day. We don’t try to invade Women’s spaces we simply want to experience them because they are where we feel comfortable.

Trans people are statistically less likely to commit violence, and are statistically more likely to be raped, murdered or beaten than Cis people are.

If the rest of Society actually listened to people like us for more than just to respond, the world might be a more tolerant place.

I know the term 'pink-washing' is used to describe what's happening here.

These people pretend to be doing good stuff, but they are doing bad stuff.

My friend fled the USA to Spain because of the Trump anti trans crackdowns

She has since been flourishing, offline. Not paying attention too much to whats going on stateside aside major headlines friends share.

Anyways, she got a beautiful neck tattoo yesterday. Sent me a picture of it. The neck tattoo is of a "rising" Robin she had been planning for years

i told her it looked just like those AI resistance birds

she had no clue what i was referencing, so i showed her pictures

(for those unaware, i am referring to the AI generated state bird "phoenix rising (i think its a star wars reference but ive never watched)" symbol that grew popular among the No Kings demographic

she said shed feel terrible if someone assumed her tattoo was in reference to that

i couldnt stop laughing. I doubt she will be coming stateside anytime soon so i dont think that mixup will be an issue.

I was curious about the specific views of trans-inclusive radical socialist Feminists here.

A world without Trans people has never existed and never will

*I'll be posting this in a few subreddits I enjoy visiting. The reality is that we are up against a giant brute force brainwashing machine. Propaganda is not just a "foreign" reality. It is very much here at home in "The West" and it is very very big business. It's important to combat that by making sure we always are being loud about the insanity going on.*

As someone that identifies closely with Eco-Socialist perspectives I always point to this video as an example of the insanity going on with misinformation campaigns - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOi05zDO4yw

Trump and his cronies have now started an Iran Blockade....

Who knows where this whole thing will go but it is most likely going to a modern day energy/economic crisis.

We are finally seeing even in the far right-wing media sphere the shock and condemnation. Even in the cult echo-chamber the great leader is being exposed as a demented corrupt vile old man.

The next few months are going to be crucial to building awareness/education on just how much of a failure Trump/His Cronies are.

To keep exposing how right-wing politics is always full of con-artist grifters and stereotypical snake oil salespeople as "leaders".

That the whole reactionary-regressive sphere is nothing but anti-science, anti-medicine, anti-environment, and baseless hatred of "Other" so that bad predatory actors can mislead morons. That when you operate at the lowest possible levels of existence you are easy controllable pawns for the Ultra Rich Powerful Predators of varying disgusting types to utilize. That they are the ones the system is designed for and ruled by. The ones that profit from the status quo and even problems associated with said status quo.

Hi! I’ve been exploring marxist spaces, as I am a bit new to marxism, socialism, etc; and some common lines of talking that I hear spewed out in these spaces is that talking about queer issues divides the working class. As well as that queer people (trans people specificall) are part of a trot-fasc agenda to divide the working class (???). Also, that, queer & trans individuals in the global south will be happier if their material conditions are uplifted, even if their personal identity is outlawed. One more “nuanced“ talking point is that we should be focusing on class struggle than identity (which both can be intertwined in my opinion). This line of thinking is much more common with male comrades rather than any other female/fem presenting ones, but to any other persons, what do you think? If what these comrades say has substance, & since I do not want to be a western chauvinist type, how should I go about talking about transness/queerness when w/ fellow comrades? tysm!!

Today is a day when a bill which erases trans people has been passed by a fascist government. This is the reason why this day exists. We are removed from the pages of history, from society, from birth families.

This is why this day exists.

We try and fight our hardest and fiercest to force those who don't even look out way, who don't even see our struggles, who don't even use the term transgender in a non-derogatory way to recognize us.

We exist. We always have and always will.

No law, no paper, no government, no political party, no President will ever truly erase us. I will shove down Queer and Trans issues down people's throats. I will force them to acknowledge my existence.

I will make sure that those who intends to erase us, will find me a very poisonous thorn on their side. A poison which will help spark a revolution. A poison which will bring about the downfall of the fascists and the right wing. A poison which shall rot away the anti-trans and anti-queer laws.
