So no one thinks I'm a troll, I completely support trans people doing whatever the fuck they want with their bodies. And I don't mind seeing trans stuff. But with that said, I feel like the hundreds and hundreds of posts I see about trans people is not helping. Going off like this site and a few others I browse you'd think trans people are like 40% of people instead of more like 2%.
I feel like constantly putting them in the spotlight, even to say you support them is just contributing to this "trans awareness burnout" I hear about in a lot of my non-leftist conversations. I mean i almost never see posts saying stuff like "I support indigenous Americans/homeless people/etc". And not because we don't, but because it's so obvious we don't feel the need to talk about it. Shouldn't trans people be the same way?
Anywho I'd love to hear thoughts, change my mind or kneel to my clearly superior intellect and dialectical understanding. :kubrick-stare:
On this site trans issues are not predominantly brought up by the right wing, they're brought up by trans people just trying to exist, for example expressing solidarity with each other or anger at very real attacks on them like the latest slew of anti-trans legislation across the US
There's also no competition here between trans positive posts and posts about "meaningful change" - one fewer trans posts will not bring about the revolution, we can and do talk about both trans issues and other problems brought on by capitalism
