Stonewall threw trans people under the bus and it wasn’t sufficient to appease the transphobes. Don’t give fascists anything, not an inch, because if you do, you will just sell your soul and gain absolutely nothing
Again, we should probably ask what the fuck has been going on, when the national press has spent a decade screaming at the public that their hated deadly enemies are e.g. Stonewall, Amnesty International, the National Trust, the RNLI and Gary Lineker. Does that sound like normal country stuff?

“...on the bus, the students “all got into big arguments, really disagreed about what we were seeing,” but then “ultimately would still be able to go out to a bar and be fine.”

but not every artist desires an end to empire
mostly they* want positive recognition for their participation in it
to die in comfort within empire means youve played your part exploiting others; it doesnt mean you liked it, but that was always empire's accepted (if not expected) route for you.

Personally, I think “being a proud bigot makes you unacceptable to Democrats” is a good and healthy message. I think we should be clearer about that principle and also apply it to the raging transphobes who are also inexplicably proud of their bigotry and want to harm our trans siblings. Fuck them.

Now I hope cis folks can connect the dots to why they shouldn’t elect transphobic dems either!
It’s good to see the MAGA-AIPAC-fascism aligned democrats showing their cards. There are too many of them who actually won their races and are still in office.

Cis people all-lives-mattering every time we mention anti-trans campaigns has been a whole mood. Yes there are many marginalized groups and we are all in it together; the reasonable thing to do is to show up for whatever group is currently being denied personhood, not legislate who has it worse
