    Those bigots are affected by the negatives of neoliberalism and they’re on the same team as us, we’re not enabling or supporting their bigotry we’re just not allowing bigoted conversations to dominate the political landscape.

    Bigoted opinions need to stop being the core political issues we’re discussing. Why does everyone care that trans kids are allowed to play sports? Reframe politics to focus on cost of living, wealth inequality, and the active destruction of the environment by capitalism. Those are the big issues of today, as long as you don’t let conservatives make it about something else to distract you

      It matters to these trans kids. It matters to trans people. Just because it doesn’t matter to you, doesn’t mean it’s not an important issue to someone else. Especially now when they’re facing so much hatred and discrimination.

          I’m not misunderstanding anything. Trans rights are just as important as the environment and everything else.

          The only reason they’re being discussed at all is because of the conservatives who want to take them away in the first place. Just like they want to keep exploiting resources that cause global warming and pollute our drinking water. Just like they want to fuck the little guy over in favor of the corporations.

          We have to fight against all of it.
