Over the past several months Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur have taken increasingly transphobic stances, especially regarding trans women in sports but also more generally when it comes to trans youth getting access to gender affirming care.

They have begun to lash out at anyone that calls them out on where they are wrong and basically refused to learn. Recently Ana went so far as to defend Jesse Singal, who is very well known as a transphobe.

      Wow, a non-ironic "people like you are hurting the trans movement" from an ally.

      God how I hate allies, they come in and act as if their opinions are the only ones that matter, that to win our rights we need to appeal to the worst of them otherwise "nobody will like us." If we call them out on their shit then they'll act as if we're hurting the cause because we need them so much more than they need us.

      The oppressor doesn't get to dictate the demands of the oppressed.
