society: okay

Sometimes it feels like even leftists don't know what capitalism is. The existence of private property ≠ capitalism. Private property has existed for thousands of years as well.

Patriarchy has thrived all throughout history, in agrarian societies, during feudalism, merkantilism, capitalism, socialism etc. Just one example: In Hungary, feudalism was only abolished in the mid-19th century. Hungary only started moving away from being an agrarian society towards capitalism in the late 19th century. Then in the 20th century, we were socialist for 40 years. Hungary as a state has existed for over 1000 years, and from those 1000 years, only ~100-150 years were spent under capitalism. But Hungarian society has remained male supremacist all the same for all 1000+ years.

A new economic system won't liberate women from male supremacy. Feminism will liberate women from male supremacy.

Leftist men will say that women are not oppressed by men, we're oppressed by capitalists, therefore we should stop criticising leftist men. Leftist white people will tell people of racial minorities that they're not oppressed by white people, they're oppressed by capitalists, so they should stop criticising leftist white people.

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.

Even traditional trans people were mostly understood because they were same sex attracted, and were so gender nonconforming that they wished to transition so they could be read and seen as the opposite gender. And that was still understood because it aligned with people’s understanding of gender roles. Controversial the same way being gay was, but understood in that context. But the modern agender they/them/xir/xim/every gender and no gender shit is where ppl got off rails.

I truly believe that was intentional. Pushing the boundaries so that ppl can be eased into change is one thing: but the trans right movement went well beyond that. There was a man with an Italian last name who I cannot find now but was claiming to be a trans woman despite doing zero things to transition. That Jessica Yaniv weirdo who was suing Muslim women for not wanting to was his balls. Even these trans identified people in women’s sports; all of this was to scare people on anyone gender nonconforming, INCLUDING GAY PPL, WHO ARE GNC BY PROXY OF OUR HOMOSEXUALITY BEING GNC.

This was all planned. And the fact that the biggest “leftist” commentators adding any resistance to this movement are all insisting we “can’t abandon vulnerable trans people” while black people are being laid off with our unemployment rates almost doubled that of the national average, while Latinos and other foreigners being rounded up and sent to prison camps, and black neighborhoods are being targeted and antagonized by Trump and the military in order to trigger martial law. From Hasan piker to Taylor Lorenz to Olay and all her friends to Serf Times and any and all supposed leftists refusing to abandon it despite how it undermines their supposed push for equality.

The trans movement requires the denial of biology. Biologists know that human sexual dimorphism is real, and that humans are one of two sexes unless an abnormality in development occurs. But the trans movement expects you to deny that.

Neurologists have debunked brain sex, and have stated that because gendered socialisation is so universal, there is no way of knowing whether the differences are as a result of sex or socialisation. Sociologists suggest that socialisation is the culprit. The trans movement expects you to ignore both of these experts, and worship the existence of a gendered soul sort of thing that exists in the brain.

Statisticians have shown that male people, even those who do not self describe as male, commit almost all violent sexual crimes. The trans movement expects you to deny these statistics and participate in the conspiracy theory that these statistics are all made up to attack a very small percentage of males who do not self describe as male.

while, cherry on top, her male partner claims to love her and respect women in general

while simultaneously happily jerking off to thousands of different women in misogynistic degrading pornography throughout the entire course of a “monogamous” relationship

whereby in the majority of videos, the women haven’t meaningfully consented, and are on the receiving end of vile, objectifying, misogynistic actions

and when you’re watching porn regularly, you’re inevitably going to come across trafficked women, minors, real rapes, whether you like it or not

i wish this was an over-exaggeration but it’s literally just your perfectly average heterosexual relationship (ofc many men will lie about their porn consumption but that doesn’t mean he isn’t consuming it and happily lying to his partner lol)

In every other sphere of life- language has hard rules and definitions. When it comes to women's issues, porous, open-ended language is the trademark. It's like not even our words can say "no". No word we use must ever even imply a "no". It's sick.
