telling trans people to vote for our own genocide
an instance that is supposed to be trans friendly.
The instance IS trans friendly. The people in the community are protesting a seperate genocide with the few tools available to them. It’s not fair to look past republicans taking active action to yell at others inaction solely because you feel the later should be easy.
For example, I’m vegan. I feel it should be easier for me to convince trans folk to be vegan since our community is all about bodily autonomy. But it’s unsupringly not, and yelling at them for my perceived hypocrisy is far far less productive than talking to someone who hasn’t been exposed to the concept in a rational logical way.
Perceiving hypocrisy in others and wishing it was easier to convince other to see as you is common, but it doesn’t change minds. The convincing process is always slow and difficult. Is your time best spent on someone likely to come around to your view anyways? Or is it better spent exposing a naive republican in a media bubble that we are not the stereotype he has been led to believe? Trans genocide is happening, but think strategically, focus on convincing the victimizers, not the victims.
I understand your frustration and anger, and I’m trying to help you find peace with the fact that others will always disagree with you. But that disagreement does not become a justification to silence others in our own community.
Critical of people she praises for compassion.
Praised by fascist dictators.
And yet somehow JK thinks she is on the right side of history? 😄
