Wait we already established that many trans people are mentally ill and there's nothing wrong with that. It would be even harder to deal with this shitty hellworld for me as well if I were trans.
Idk what are we trying to achieve with this discussion? It's fine if you don't like vaush and I even get it if he offends you, but please let's accept that he calls himself leftist and anarchist, he actually does it and has 200k subs and talks about leftism 24/7, does it well and changes many peoples minds. I would prefer if he never said the f-slur but he does and apparently it works for him.
so i'm trans. there's nothing that pisses me off more than hearing a supposed 'leftist' and 'comrade' using the same smears against trans people that neocons use. it feels like youre a two-faced fascist prop. if liberals can get one small thing right, why cant you?
We didn’t establish that at all. Vaush is using mental illness as a smear. There’s no reason to mention it and he doesn’t talk about it compassionately or factually. He’s using it to discredit people who apparently bother him.
He actually does what? What does he do? What’s he converting people if he bashes tankies and trans people while not understanding theory? What good is he actually doing in the world? It horrifies me that 200k people hear his garbage.
What does he do to fight for their rights? And again, what ideas is he spreading if he says a bunch of trans people are the worst he runs across online?
Is it?
Uh.
I dunno like, I seem to do a lot of that myself without accusing trans women of being mentally ill.

He exposes a ton of normal people to leftist ideas and actually passionately fights for the rights of trans AND mentally ill people.
What does he do to fight for their rights? And again, what ideas is he spreading if he says a bunch of trans people are the worst he runs across online?
this will be my last answer to this thread because like I said, it's pointless.
He said this ONCE, while otherwise fighting for trans people.
What does he do to fight for them??
idk stream and talk about trans rights for 5 hours per day to 100k viewers?
What rights?
the rights of mtf, ftm and non-binay people.
Yeah. What are those rights?

https://www.aclu.org/issues/lgbt-rights/transgender-rights
it's fine to ask if you don't know something, a quick search online would have helped :slightly smiling face:
To me it's most important to change the minds of people, some people are seriously bigoted unfortunately
Those links are useless. What are the rights from a leftist point of view?
Yes, including Vaush with his nasty take on trans people he doesn’t agree with.
