like its obviously good that we've got an actual radical leftist with a very long history of being pro-palestine into parliament in the UK, but also he sucks so bad on trans issues and basically every other socially progressive issue. Im kind of like tentatively supportive of him since like as far as im aware in the rochdale election the options were basically transphobic far right neoliberal, transphobic bipartisan neoliberal, transphobic pedophile fascist and discount corbyn but transphobic for no apparent reason (average terf island local election ukkk), and like at this point it doesnt seem like there's really any none fucked up opposition to the stranglehold the right has this country in

(also the liberals and the conservatives are both bipartisanly throthing at the mouth to get him out for being too pro palestine so that's funny ngl)

TL;DR:

"Mum, can we get Corbyn?"
"We already have Corbyn at home"
The Corbyn at home:

    I'm struggling to find much beyond some cringe shit about pronouns.

    Does he want to take away my hormones or make me use the men's restroom?

      He's pushed himself as the anti woke alternative to labour for quite a while and this was in his campaign letter

        Deeply ignorant on the subject. Maybe he can be educated. Father of six - odds are one of them is going to end up queer. There's nothing shielding is going to stop it. It will come out eventually, and if it ddoesn't come out in a healthy way, then it will come out in an unhealthy way. You can not bottle it up forever without consequences.

        Too much focus on it though shows willingness. I hope he is able to accept his queer child and understand it was always there and you don't just flick a switch. The only switch is closeted or open.
