    The Republican War on Transgender People, Drag Queens, and Queerness in General

    You disgrace yourself with stuff like this. On-brand though because fear and intimidation tactics are what define this fascistic movement. And no I'm not talking about trans people you self-victimising sad sack idiot. Get a grip.

    "when combined with tobacco or alcohol use" That's like saying "high-street jogging may lead to a criminal conviction ... (when combined with doing it completely naked)"

    The Republican War on Transgender People, Drag Queens, and Queerness in General

    I wasn't comparing trans people with the Israeli state, I was comparing trans people's views on this topic with Jewish people's views on the Israel/Palestine conflict, in the specific sense that a person shouldn't just take their position based on the majority view of a particular impacted...

    It's a valid comparison. If Jews overwhelmingly supported Israeli crimes would that stop you supporting Palestinian rights? No. It would still be wrong to support Israeli crimes. And as it happens, the majority of Jews are unfortunately not critical of Israel. Do you know what the majority of...

    everyone reads things online. or are you sitting there printing out the cass review page by page before reading it lol. describing something as "trolling" is attacking the motive because trolling implies a disingenuous approach driven by a desire to upset for its own sake. in the eyes of some...

    Look there has to be some acceptable term to refer to an active political movement. I get that "trans activists" can be easily misunderstood but there is a group that exists and it needs to be referred to in some way. Would you prefer "gender ideologues"?

    I said your question speaks to that tribalism issue, not that you are part of a tribe. I'm not personalising this or making assumptions about what you think. You could offer me the same courtesy rather than asserting that I'm "refusing to listen to trans people." I'm not refusing to listen to...

    Im not aware of everything theyve said. But to take your wider point about people on the right generally or transphobic people, that's not who I'm siding with anyway. Just like how there are genuine antisemites all over social media saying "free palestine" but that's not who I'm siding with on...

    "'Zionists' is just code for 'Jews', who they hate. They're not simply referring to a political movement" "By 'trans activists' they just mean 'trans people', who they hate. They're not simply referring to a political movement"

    "Ooh all of a sudden you care about Arabs in Palestine but not in any other context like when they're killed in Syria. Your real motivation must be antisemitism" "Ooh all of a sudden you care about women's and children's rights but not in any other context. Your real motivation must be...

    It's a good analogy there are loads of parallels with Israel supporters. The people deepest in it are unable to extricate themselves because the truth would be too traumatic to face at this point. That's why the reaction is desperate, defensive and extremely aggressive. I sympathise but it's...

    The Republican War on Transgender People, Drag Queens, and Queerness in General

    It's a bit like when a human rights report comes out on Israeli war crimes, and you think "well that's that argument won then", but no there's always a continued denial and new way of spinning it. trans activists and israel apologists are quite similar really. Staggering ability to deny...
