    All I want is to not be put in a cage. I know many of our trans comrades suffer a lot and it’s hard to see a path where their suffering is improved by any candidate. But there’s one candidate who will be seeking to find scapegoats for the failure of American capitalism and how much you want to bet that we will be the target. There’s no way out of this country anymore with the pandemic, and like I said, I don’t want to end up in a cage. I understand why people don’t want to vote for Biden, neither do I, but the future with Trump getting a second term is too scary, I’m voting for Biden as well (and for every other democrat). Many of you can go back to your lives and hunker down until the fascist regime dies but us trans people have no where to hide.

      It would be one thing if we actually stood a chance at Revolution but let’s face it, the only people picking up guns in sufficient numbers are the fascists and reactionaries. I know you guys like to shit on the libs but let’s be real, if we’re gonna get support from anyone then we’re going to have to have a lot of them on our side. Give them a reason to hate us more and you’ll further alienate us and push them towards the reactionaries. We need allies not enemies. I get that it’s fun to shit on them but to give them the finger and tell them to fuck off is not going to help our cause.

      This could be a matter of life or death for some of us. Do not take this situation lightly.

          Biden may be the best path to radicalization though. A lot of us are more aware of things than we were in 08 when Obama took power. If they can do watch the liberal establishment fail again it may radicalize more of them to be convinced that is not the path. There’s still too much faith in our government for anyone to be radicalized. There’s a lot more Bernie supporters who are voting for Biden than there are opposing the liberals.

          No matter what we don’t have the numbers or the resources to stand up against the government at this time.
