What do you think causes shelter insecurity and impoverished mothers, exactly?
Well it’s not trans people I can tell you that much.
Mhmmmm, so, what would have to go in order to stop shelter insecurity and the impoverishment of mothers, as the original commenter insisted would be necessary before we deal with trans genocide?
That’s not what the original commenter was saying and I’m not sure how you got there.
As the original commenter, I’m very confused how anyone came to a conclusion that my comments were anything but supportive of transgender people being left alone to live their lives in peace, and instead advocating for people getting upset about poverty.
Because trans people are the people who are impoverished. To act like these are seperate things and that one is more worthy than the other is trans erasure. Just because you know transphobia is bad, doesn’t mean you aren’t transphobic. The reason we aren’t able to forget about trans people is because they do experience poverty and shelter insecurity at disproportionate rates; there is no discussion on one without the other unless you intend to erase trans people, go figure.
Oh Jesus Christ.
I’m not even going to address the steaming pile of excrement that is your response, because the mentally ill people I was referring to were right-wingers obsessed with transgender athletes, and your reading comprehension was too poor to figure it out.
NOTHING I said referenced anyone who supports transgender people or their rights. I’m ONE of those people who support them.
Learn to read, for God’s sake. You should be ashamed of yourself in this conversation. I’ve been a huge supporter of transgender people and their rights for fucking DECADES.
I’m going to present you with a very fair question, and that is the end of this interaction: If you’re such a huge supporter of trans people, why do you get to choose when your actions are harmful to them?
LOL, as if you get to determine when is the end of this interaction. How pompous can you be?
You can choose not to respond, and that’s fine. But you can’t choose when to end the interaction.
I have a DIRECT history of providing VERY SIGNIFICANT material and financial support to transgender people, and working with them. You tried to portray this in a way that you were not justified in any way in doing.
I am an internet rando that you just decided to fly off the handle and attack because you had trouble reading and couldn’t admit it. You have literally NO FUCKING CLUE who I am, what I have done, who I’ve interacted with, my family members, my kids, nothing. You don’t know me from Adam. For all you know, I could be your neighbor, your sibling, your child, somebody you know and somebody you love. Stop with the self-righteousness.
What I said was in support of you. I was literally saying that people who are constantly thinking about transgender people in sports when people in the country are unable to support themselves are mentally ill.
You attacked someone who is and will continue to be an ally to transgender people. I am sorry for what you’ve gone through. And FYI, I have direct connections with people who are transgender, and I won’t fault you for that. But between the two of us, the one who made a mistake is you, not me.
there you go.
You are tedious. Purity policing like this is how you blow up coalitions. You know exactly how that person meant what they wrote given the context and you chose to start a dogpile anyway, and when they tried to explain you doubled and tripled down on the least charitable read possible.
“Let me say what I want about trans people or I’ll just go mask off transphobic and you won’t even get my fake support.”
I’m sure we can do without you, not sure what we get with you. They explained, they admitted to not even considering how this was harmful as they, like you apparently, assumed that just because they don’t want to be transphobic, they aren’t. They obviously didnt care all that much, as they did not even consider if it was harmful again, and even insisted that they’re above being challenged because they’re already as pure as they need to be.
It’s you dipshits that care more about purity than the values. Liberals like you are why we’re in this fucking position, if you don’t want that, make fucking sure you don’t do it.
