      Boxing out the vast majority of people because you demand adherence to radical social values isn't going to lead to a coalition that can stop rising fascism.

        Radical social values like mutual aid and being nice.

                I want you to continue being openly transphobic so there's a nice record of it.

                  I'm not being transphobic. I reject biological essentialism and I've been standing up for trans people irl for over a decade now. I'm saying that demanding adherence to a strict set of social rules as a gatekeep to the left is stupid and counterproductive.

                    mocking someone's pronouns is explicitly transphobic. you aren't immune to it because "you know trans people"

                      This bullshit right here is why the western left will always be a fringe group of lifestylists that affect zero material change. You want to paint me as a fucking transphobe because I don't think gender dysphoria is the same thing as wanting to be called a deer. Like I can't even imagine how few migrant workers or people in the hood you would allow into your movement. But that doesn't really matter if its about you and not the people right?

                        yep, I'm sure if it weren't for those pesky transes you'd have all those migrant workers and "people from the hood" (jfc) wrapped up in a huge movement and the revolution would be here tomorrow.

                        or perhaps, you'd find their struggles inconvenient and attack them for holding you to the solidarity you pretend to.

                          The vast majority of trans people aren't demanding social purity of everyone in order to be a part of the left. Most trans folks are comrades, not wreckers.

                            sorry I won't be quiet and be put in your box. why don't you go right back to mocking people's pronouns and circlejerking about solidarity.

                          Idk if you've ever talked to them but they explicitly make the class distinction between black folks from the section of the city that the white power structure cordoned then off in and the black folks who grew up outside of that environment. At least most of the folks I know would probably put it a little less politely.

                          But sure, try to act like that's a racist thing to say. I guess the countless people I've been friends, coworkers and coconspirators with were just setting me up to get wokescolded years later.
