    What can we do? Admittedly, I don’t have a a solid answer here but to me it’s pretty clear we need to unite first. Solidarity at least among as many trans ppl as possible is key. We need to be more forgiving with each other, often in our spaces I see us fighting with venomous rage over minor issues or misunderstandings. We should save that rage for our critics and enemy’s, until then we will continue to splinter and fragment with in our community giving these fucks more and more room to grow and expand without a united opposition.

    2nd dual power, we’ve placed our healthcare in the hands of our oppressors. Some of the work is being done to provide HRT and trans related healthcare independent from the capitalist for profit healthcare system. But more work needs to be done towards this goal, from production to blood testing etc.

    I love each and everyone of my trans comrades regardless if I like or dislike your takes and will fight till my last breath until our human rights are immutable and universal.

      We uses to have that. It was called the “International Workers Order”. We had our own doctors, our own clinics, our own lawyers, etc. We had structural dual power being built here but had it dashed away in the red scare.

      You would hope this would be a first step to get liberals on board by being able to point to it and say “see its actually exactly like how we’ve been telling you it is, could you stop telling us were being ridiculous and hurting your cause now”

      Except in actuality it’s just going to be a lecture about how actually us being right just confirms we hold unfair opinions of them and just because it turned out exactly how we said it would doesn’t mean we actually have any idea about what’s going on.
