slightly feral

Edit: It worked for me!

I received wonderful news about my health not even a day after, and was able to see my friends again after not being able to hug or high-five them for a month.

I am in desperate need of luck, my insta got hacked and I am in “superstitious mode” rn while trying everything to get it back. SO!!

MAGIC BAGEL!!!

BLESS MEEEE!!!

Short answer: Because they killed all progressive movements.

Long answer: Trans activists hijacked and colonized the women's movement and the gay community, and even other movements such as BLM and disability rights, so now every protest has to be about "trans" people. No group can protest, fund-raise, or advocate for just themselves without pasty Gen Zers with neon hair and creepy middle aged men in wigs screaming about how they're the most oppressed people ever and it's their right to rape and kill anyone they disagree with.

"Trans" people and their allies have spent the past decade bullying everyone into submission, ostracizing and threatening anyone who questioned or criticized them, making every march, movement, and slogan about themselves, and destroying women's rights and the gay and lesbians communities from the inside.

This left the door wide open for conservatives to come in and finish us off. If it wasn't for "trans" people and their allies, we would've likely still had a solid defense (class/female/gay solidarity) against the rise of the far right, and Trump may not have been elected a second time.

But instead we have tribalism, insane amounts of violence, hate, and censorship, struggle sessions, and fractured movements that are mere shadows of their former selves, and it's all thanks to "trans" people and their allies.

They tore our communities apart, stripped us of our hard earned rights, spaces, and resources, and then mercilessly beat us until we lay on the ground, unable to defend ourselves from the MAGAs, who finished the job by simply walking up and setting our bruised and bloodied bodies on fire.

And instead of putting the fire out, "trans" people and their allies are watching us burn while insisting they're actually the ones on fire.

The Democrats are not spineless. They're not cowards. They're not fighting back (much) because they don't care what the Republicans do to this county or its people.

They embraced "transgender" crap because they were paid to. They killed much of solidarity between and progress made by women, gays, working class, etc., because it was profitable. Even if they're elected out of office, they have enough money to be just fine. That includes your beloved AOC, who wouldn't piss on any of you if you were on fire.

And also, about the conservative normies: I believe it because I have also seen it. I live in a red state. I know conservatives who are indifferent to homosexuality but up in arms about "transgender".

A few replies on this have mentioned the gradual conservative acceptance, and they're right. Conservatives were slowly coming around, viewing us indifferently at the very least. I noticed the shift after same-sex marriage was legalized. It was begrudging, but most lost interest in protesting it.

Until "transgender" became a thing.

So we have the liberals, standing on their soap boxes promising to expand the reach of these types of men, allowing them access to vulnerable women, telling children they're in the wrong body, calling exclusive same sex attraction transphobic, and promoting bullshit female erasure in medicine.

We also have conservatives, promising to remove males from women's sports, prisons, and shelters, that they'll enforce proper sex markers on legal documents, and remove perverted lessons from schools. While also fighting to get rid of abortion, birth control, no fault divorce, and gay marriage.

So if you're a woman or a gay man, where are you supposed to go, politically? Both sides are against you. So some are voting conservative on the idea that the can win back abortion, birth control, and gay marriage, while others are voting independent or abstaining.

The moment I saw young women stop fighting to protect their reproductive rights and spend their time and energy defending men cosplaying as women I knew the Democratic party was fucked. Young Liberal women don't much care that Roe v Wade was overturned, but they'll spit in your face if you say Dylan Mulvaney is a man.

Anyone with a name that starts with a “Z”, ends with an “i”, and isn’t some kind of Italian pasta, IS SERIOUS
