    I just had someone I normally respect tell me "I've only seen white people take your position" when I said that I wouldn't cast my vote for genocidal Democrats, were I an American. While they were also claiming that voting for Harris is critical to protecting the American trans community.

    I can't even fathom a response to this.

      When someone effectively says "We must support someone who actively supports genocide to avoid another genocide!" I suspect they also don't really care much about preventing that second genocide but just find it a convenient excuse to ignoring the first. So much of lemmy has been pushing this same narrative and yet when attention is brought to how Harris specifically has been ignoring and avoiding talking about trans issues or giving trans representation, the response from many just seem to be "shut up. Trans people aren't needed to win" just like they said about brown people in response to their genocide.
