For the life of me, I can’t understand why they care about someone’s sexual orientation or their pronoun.
I ran the numbers on sex changes and it’s like .001 of the population. It’s a non-issue.
The real issues are homelessness, inequality, Internet privacy, poisons in our food and workers’ rights…
Not fucking pronouns.
They don’t care. The tactic is to have a minority that you can blame for all the bad things.
100 years ago it was the jews secretly running the world, today it’s the evil trans people and immigrants conspiring to destroy The West™.
100 years ago they were also persecuting trans people. Here’s a photo of them burning books in 1933, some of which were from the Institute of Sexual Science after it was raided by the Nazis. And it only got worse from there. Here’s a whole article about it.
They don’t. It’s classic divide and conquer tactics to package up the general population into nice bite-sized chunks that they can destroy individually with minimal resistance from the others. Exact same shit is how the Nazis rose to power.
And once again the population isn’t ready…

- dipshits in the US who think we’re somehow better than the average German citizen in the 1930s
Despite people perhaps still believing this, I believe it was largely disproven in the 1960s by the Milgram experiment.
Got to distract from the real issues somehow. Gotta keep that wealth extraction and concentrating system of exploitation alive. Can’t have the slave rising up to overthrow their masters again…
The same can be said for all those years wasted shaming people into using gender neutral language and adding pronouns to communications
Maybe we should not waste any time on this
