Got into it with another leftist that was praising Joti Bror, a British communist TERF piece of shit. Their defense was "you don't have to agree with her on [sic] the trans stuff, and still appreciate her analysis of other things."
No motherfucker, I can get better analysis from people who don't invalidate my or my comrades identities. I don't have to listen to her for shit, fuck off with that. TERFism breeds fascism every fucking time.
Goddamnit.
Anyways yeah I just wanted a space to vent. Probably won't reply or anything.
On a purely formal logic level, someone being a TERF doesn't mean that they are wrong about everything else as well. However, in the real world, I get very suspicious of the thinking of someone who holds clearly irrational and hateful beliefs.
If you have these brainworms, how can you be right about other stuff? If you think like that about an oppressed minority that does no harm to anyone, how can I trust you to stand up for anyone else? If you are willing to throw trans people under the bus, how can I trust that you will not do the same with gay people, with ethnic minorities, with your own comrades.
