I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

I am actually trying to improve the situation with the cards that were dealt and for some reason you ridicule all of that.

When the game is rigged, sometimes the only response is to upend the table.

You might not be familiar with queer history in the US, but one of the pivotal moments in it- Stonewall, was an actual riot, with cops beating the shit out of trans girls and everything. It immediately got whitewashed and co-opted by liberal elements to the point where now people routinely have cops at pride!

It's a convenient fantasy that rights can be won by passively participating and voting. Rights are won by fighting for them, and making people uncomfortable until they give you what you want.

Of course I am aware what is happening, what was happening and where you are heading. Where I live I am doing my part and don't you dare to ridicule that.

We are gaining ground. Many things got better over the past few years where I live and I will continue to do what I do and support what I can support.

I cannot wait and dream about some communist revolution and look down on others for actually trying. At this point I am not sure if this discussion is even in good faith anymore or if you just want to insult me and others like me.

I haven't insulted you, at least not intentionally - you seem to think I'm sitting on my hands posting online, I do plenty of real life organizing with other trans and unhoused people. It's being exposed to people living on the fringes of society that I otherwise have so much in common with that gives me this orientation towards electoralism.
