The real irony here? Without a government, society basically reverts to Ancapistan by default.

>All settler states on indigenous land

Does that include the ones indigenous people took from other indigenous people?

> whiteness

How’s that gonna work exactly? Are you gonna go around with wigs, skin dye, and contacts?

>trans women must only want access to basic bodily autonomy to trick men..

This is remarkably stupid, because the vast majority of anti-trans discourse (about adults) is about trans women, who are called men who want to creep on women. 

Or get into women’s sports because they supposedly can’t compete with men. Which, the critics say, may physically harm women due to discrepancies in size and strength.

It is explicitly gendered hatred against men in the name of protecting women.

Closet keys missed two of biggest controversies about trans people for the past decade or so to whine about “traps”, which are mostly a meme at this point.

Also, a lot of that shade thrown at trans women is coming from TERFs. 

Who are women.

Concerned with women’s safety.

 One thing that seems to be a consistent trait in almost all reactionary ideologies is this idea that everything is “biological” or otherwise innate. It’s the easiest way to justify inequality and prevent people from trying to change the social order-- just convince people that it’s a “natural” order and that it’s impossible to change, and that obeying that order is somehow moral, that adhering to the hierarchies laid out by the society you find yourself in is the most moral thing you could do.

Misogynists invoke it. White nationalists invoke it. Capitalists invoke it. Transmisogynists invoke it. You just start to see it everywhere. “It’s biology” means “I have a god given right to hurt you.”

You only say this because you want to believe your team is comprised entirely of the Plucky Rebels fighting against The System.

For one thing, sexism against women is not inherently “reactionary” or right-wing. It’s just a shorthand for “sexism against women”. I’ve seen plenty of leftists and feminists who say horrible, misogynist things about women, all in the name of preserving The Narrative.

Again, “transmisogynists” - because you don’t care about trans men, of course - are often radfems. Their hatred of trans women usually arises from their hatred of men.

Capitalists don’t claim capitalism is natural. It’s a system created by humanity. They do claim the existence of work, period, is natural. It’s called the First Law of Thermodynamics. Someone, somewhere, has to put in some effort. 

Also, capitalism isn’t “reactionary”, no matter how you’re defining the term this week.

I don’t know about white nationalists, but I’m pretty sure they don’t rely on genetic fallacies as much as you think. I’m pretty sure they also criticize minority groups’ cultural forces. I’m not Googling, even in incognito mode, for obvious reasons. 

And last time I checked, White Nationalists were not The System. 

The naturalistic fallacy is a fallacy for a reason, but it’s not exclusive to your funhouse-mirror strawman of the right. I’ve seen tankies who argued that capitalism is the unnatural state, and humanity was socialist/communist for most of it’s existence, until the first civilization developed, therefore capitalism is wrong. Two fallacies in one argument!

I think the most ironic part is that you’re an ideologue who likes to block people with opposing views. You’re calling other people closed-minded from the inside of your walled garden, but you don’t want them to respond. 

And you’re saying they’re hiding behind labels and categories to avoid the truth while you’re busy slapping labels and categories and made-up assumptions about motive on them so you don’t have to actually try and prove their argument wrong, or look at the flaws in your own team’s position.

As always.

And for the first time, I had that terrifying (but also exhilarating) moment when I told him I'm a lesbian.

Luckily he was polite and understanding..

And I was so proud of myself! If a total stranger knows this intimate detail about me, why can't I start telling people in my life??
