maybe i would stop short of execution but people like her and blaire etc should be exiled to a big boat with no internet connection they get food and board games and stuff but can never come back
Ocean, food, board games, hrt, and no internet just sounds like a good time.
It's not punishing them, but preventing them from being a threat to society
aww damn, why did we have to go with the non punitive justice system...
transitioned as minors, receive the benefits, never detransed thus showing it wasnt a problem, and then pull up the ladder and try to kill trans kids by capitulating to reactionary rhetoric via pickme shit
like jesus fucking christ grow a backbone you worms. you had your life handed to you on a platter, accepting parents, early transition, etc. so many people have to take their nose to a literal grindstone to feel comfortable in their bodies. in most countries only 5% of all parents say they will support their kid like this, let alone the number that actually do it. i have no respect for people that do not recognize how well off they are. and frankly, you never see centrist types like this in actual IRL trans spaces, it seems all the worms congregate online to gossip and bow to jk rowling and never try to help anyone
the whole hair thing is ridiculous too.
Is there a term for class traitors except for transfolk? Cause that's what she is.
Worm, assimilationist, outsider (80s trans/queer thing for a trans/queer person that refuses to be seen with people from the community), pickme, sell out
But is assimilator necessarily a negative thing? Like my goal is basically to assimilate/go stealth, but I'm not going to lambast other trans people for not doing the same.
it's a complicated topic and i would have to take time to really put my thoughts together on it. stealth/binary trans is a position that's very alien to me so I want to choose my words carefully. i think once one isn't doing it for self hating/internalised transphobia/primitive accumulation reasons it's totally valid, and I wouldn't use the label for that person.
that said, I also strongly believe that being visibly queer is a daily act of praxis against cishet patriarchy and something to be encouraged. but I would never say it's a prerequisite for being a trans comrade, obviously there are other ways of doing this type of praxis too.
assimilators to me are people who choose to erase and de-radicalise their transness (and queerness broadly), to neuter it and make it palatable to the cishets, in the simultaneous pursuit of essentially being a good capitalist cog or even a straight up owner-capitalist. that process can take on the quality of going stealth, or it can look more like what Wu is doing in the posted tweet. they are those who discard any notions of radicalism or queer liberation, of solidarity with other queers, and choose to just work within the system and accept the way things are, leveraging advantages like passing privilege to avail of better opportunities than those available to most trans folks (the "pulling up the ladder" being mentioned in this thread about Wu). it's essentially a liberal type of queerness.
just being stealth or binary trans alone of course doesn't necessarily put anyone in that category. I'd like to clearly state that binary transness is no less radical than any other kind, assimilators are those who choose to push that qualitative change onto it. sorry it's just a disorganised thought dump, hope I made some sense.
Wasn't Rowling pretending to actually care about trans people and only have "some concerns" about children and vulnerable women at one point? This is just so petty and hateful to trans women just for existing and doing things.
One would think Brianna Wu and others like her who try to appeal to these terfs would realize the people they want to desperately be accepted by only grow more radical instead. I guess once you start digging yourself in to these bad positions you can't get out.
Brianna's initial argument the the TERF is responding to is fucking dogshit anyway. You're a woman if you feel like a woman and say you're a woman. That's it.
This is like doing "women be shoppin'" in reverse.
Shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up. I fucking despise pick-mes. They deserve the bullet too.
Really depressing to see members of oppressed groups thinking that they'll get to be "one of the good ones" no matter how many times their oppressors stab them in the back.
that is just, fucking shocking to me, that an actual trans woman wrote all that out.
'weird' yourself, bitch.
Brianna Wu can eat shit, but it's funny seeing these fucking fascists trying to convince the hardliners that they're so much more special than the other trans people to their other fascist peers that hate their existence. Same kind of grovelling you see from that other fascist, Blair White or the lame duck Dave Rubin. Dave is especially pathetic.
Speaking of Rubin I'm reminded of that segment where he's talking to I think Ben Shabibo and Ben saying he wouldn't attend his wedding. Just so pathetic and sad watching him try to square that with himself in real time
Do you think there's some kind of denial or cognitive dissonance that allows them to ignore the fact that most of the people they associate with want them, or others like them dead? How do they live like that?
They just think that's the best they can possibly get, and that hopefully they'll be safe in the purges
Please work with me fascist, please, pretty please. Please listen to me and consider me the same as you. Please. I want to be part of your system. I'm one of the good ones. I want to exist and I want you to deny my existence. I can help you achieve eliminating me if you just boost my subscribers.
One life philosophy I've had for the past decade is that chuds are 100% wrong on everything, and don't bother trying to woo them to your side, and don't compromise with them as they won't give anything back. I've yet to see a situation where this rule fails. (except for kids, but even that failing is exceedingly rare)
