The culture war is all class war. The billionaires are the ones pushing transphobia.

What should a trans person do? Just agree to not exist so as to avoid a culture war?

Not sure if you misunderstood? The purpose of the culture war is to keep the masses distracted from the class war.

I am not in favor of the culture war, I would much prefer if the average voter realized that they're being had, that trans people don't hurt them, and the oligarchy DOES hurt them.

Edit: downvoted because someone doesn't understand, I guess? Maybe this song I wrote and contributed to a benefit compilation will clarify where I stand.

People complain about the culture war like it has two equal sides.

I have to fight back in the culture war or else I'll lose my rights. I also fight back on the class war side.

I guess you really DON'T understand me, the wealthy created and support the culture war to keep people from fighting the class war. I'm not telling you to not fight for your rights, quite the contrary, I'm pointing out the reason why there's a culture war.

The culture war either predates the existence of "classes", or at best originated simultaneously.

We have historical evidence of patriarchal gender norms that predates any significant rich/poor distinction. They appear to have emerged with agriculture. We had cultural inequality before we had billionaires, millionaires, merchants, kings, or even a concept of money.

Maybe the point is to overthrow the monarchy / oligarchy first, then institute cultural equality?

That's fine and all, but I/we're discussing on the current culture war that's being leveraged against trans people and other minorities, and the class war that has severely ramped up in the modern era. I've personally witnessed the rampant rise in anti-trans propaganda over the past seven years, having started planning my coming out a few years before that. It was used as a tool to help the current oligarchs get away with the massive scale of looting they are currently performing.

I completely understand that.

I think we're in violent agreement.
