Thoughts on this discourse currently raging on xitter? Personally I don't really like either, but I don't understand how rejecting ballroom / drag terms is racist. It feels very american to say that when in my country drag is mostly a gay male thing and the closest thing to ballroom is only white people.
trans ppl are slowly realizing that noone else on the left actually has their best interest in mind. while the trump administration is making motions towards sending us to camps, intersectionalists are upset at us for not integrating ourselves into a larger movement that has ultimately been a failure and have repeatedly wokescolded us for being too "problematic" or "heteronormative". a core issue is that they are mostly moralists who have no material skin in the game allowing them to pretend trump is simply an aberration. hence they see everyone as just needing to voot better next time and calling it a day. ive been seeing more black transfems pop up too who still buy the hyperwoke stuff perhaps because white transfems dont pay any attention to their issues. ultimately we need trans racial unity and a new renaissance in transhumanist culture
was never a fan of ballroom culture to a degree, something about emulating bourgeois rituals for comfort is… so gringo.
Well the two accounts in the OP pic are either bots or sockpuppets
>>7586Yeah, even wikitionary doesn't say where it came from.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fish#English>>7578trans are always trying to take credit for gay innovations and gay rebellion
"the first brick thrown at stonewall was by a transwoman" lib nonsense
just constantly rewriting history to center it on transness.
>>7595The observations in this threads aren't value judgments. They're simple recognitions of the fact, that the interests of most trans people are anathema to the current liberal project. The same holds for bourgeois sexual, feminist and racialist politics in the abstract, yet it is the trans issue that is presently coming to a head.
>>7596Maybe the trans community would get more support from the rest of the LGBTQIAA2S+ community if they stopped taking credit for the other letters' innovations, style, and resistance.
