There is no bigotry or hate, just a lack of empathy from the person I’m replying to. It sucks what’s happening to their son, but what’s happening in gaza is 10x worse by any metric.
No, a lack of empathy is telling someone they should care less about their own child’s life being at risk, and who cares because they’re trans, than people on the other side of the world.
That is about as unempathetic as you can get. And I’m amazed you don’t realize it.
The premise that parent puts forward is that I should be OK with genocide as long as his kid is ok. That’s unemphatic. By any metric of the situation, one issue is far more important and extreme than the other.
And no, by any metric of the situation, a person’s child is far more important than anything else in their life. Or should be. Because that child didn’t ask to be born. They are owed everything.
And in this case, this child’s life is in danger because of a genocide of trans people that is already well underway and that you apparently don’t give a shit about. I guess there’s only one genocide that matters.
And what exactly have you done about it other than berate people for caring more about their own children than they do the genocide in Palestine? Because I spend hours each week contacting politicians for JVP. Before I escaped on Monday with my own queer child (who you probably think I should also not care about), the staffers at Larry Buschon’s regional office were sick of me going there twice a month.
Have you done anything other than sit on your ass and tell people not to care about their kids?
This guy is saying we should’ve left the gazans to their fate in exchange for his child’s gender identity.
Also trans people are not being genocided. They are not being chased in the streets and killed, nor are they being rounded up in camps, nor are there bombs getting dropped in their gathering places. What’s happening to gazans is genocide, what happened to the rhoyinga is genocide. When shit gets even close to that level, then it’s genocide.
That’s what I thought, you have not done a single thing about the genocide in Palestine other than berate people. Not one email to one politician despite there being easily accessible form emails. Very eager to berate others, too lazy to do anything yourself.
Alternately, you do understand what genocide is, but you’re okay with it when it is happening to queer people. And I suspect that’s the real answer considering you think a parent of a trans kid shouldn’t prioritize their safety.
The articles you have linked to are a mix of rubbish and fear mongering.
What is currently transpiring with transgender people in the U.S. is comparable to the Holocaust or any true genocide that has taken place
That is fucking horrendous to say. Those two things are not even in the same sport much less the league.
What’s happening to queers in the US is not genocide. It does not meet the legal definition of genocide (according to the wiki section you posted), going around saying stuff like that minimizes actual genocide
As for what I’m doing on Palestine, I will not respond to this question for the sake of my anonymity. Now you may just say that I’m using this a veil, but it’s pretty easy for me to lie and say I’ve done so and so when I have not.
You mean apart from the bigotry and hate?
Because there’s also the “how dare you care about your child more than people you aren’t personally responsible for!” thing.

They said nothing of the sort. That’s just a lie.

You need to go through the entire thread.

Also, you do not understand what genocide is.

How did I guess? “Those lying trannies are just fine.”
Also, “I’m not going to tell you what I do” is bullshit. You don’t do a thing. I told you what I do and it in no way reveals my identity.
You have done nothing about the genocide in Palestine and we both know it.
Have you ever even talked to a Palestinian in your life and asked them what they would like you to help with? Doubtful. Too busy hating queer people.
Trump’s a piece of shit and you support him blindly, making you a worthless tool
Where trump support?
