Gender dysphoria has many manifestations. You can simplistically understand it as BDD (body dysmorphic disorder) but gender specific, hating your body for being wrong
>>3102Yeah, I never suggested otherwise.
I know it can be compairable to that too among the other conditions I listed before. I have a decent grasp of some aspects of what it's like since I have body dysmorphia and depersonalization along with unclear feelings about how feminine or masculine id want to look.
>>3112i disagree with them ofc
but not all of us are marxists
or materialists
>>3109It's an inherent reaction (?) to Rainbow-Fascism (In essence, "middle class" - petty bourgeoisie promotion of idpol to distract from class consciousness)
It's irrational, sure, but not inhumane. It's reason is concern that the main objective of a Dictatorship of the Proletarian is being sidelined by relatively ineffectual issues that even if "solved" would mean nothing. It's something that just needs to be corrected through simple humanization of *the gays* or whatever, and a level of ignorance towards idpol that finds the comfortable plateau between "concern towards the subject" and "ignorance towards the subject".
>>3124well i share praxis with many groups i just know it will lead the other way than what they think
the truth is people are already doing the praxis for me they just are doing it for different endgoals that arent possible or are unstable
plus like any market or individualist anarchist is basically the same as me so idc
>>3128i wouldnt praise cuba or use it as a good example
but uhm yeah i guess
>>3130cuba isnt a good or nice place
that doesnt have a good government
the whole progressive shit is just a mask for the massively authoritarian bullshit they keep doing
they just arrested 381 people for being in a anti gov protest
But nah its okay man bc they are chill with the gays
>>3132thats bullshit
the best places are typically British territories
also yes it authoritarian you can fight against imperialism without statist bullshit
and im not gonna praise a "lesser of the two evils" situation i am against all of them
>>3135>being harsh with anyone is badno, being harsh with liberals, fascists, and all other flavour of rightoids is good. im going to put reactionaries in the fucking dungeon and you cant stop me, dont be a radlib anarchist, being soft to rightoids will only backfire.
cuba is very democratic relative to every other state that exists, it is a state ofc but if you think it is not the most democratic state then you have much more to learn about western liberal democracies and cuba, learn how cuba works in embedrel.
>inb4 deraili sorry in advance.
>>3098I don't know anyone under 20 and I don't care to.
If you are under 20, please kindly get out.
It is not the women who toil in the sweatshops of ‘developing’ countries that the transgender activists wish to ‘transition’ to; rather it is the objectified successful bourgeois women that they aim to be. The reality for working class women of negotiating the institutional and personal power struggles in which their lives are embedded is not part of the appeal for men who claim to be women. On the contrary, as in all other areas of life, working class women are treated as unimportant or ignored as the example of the prison makes clear.
There has been a glaring refusal on the part of the left to come to terms with the question of transgenderism and its impact on women – and by women I mean people who belong to the sex-class that has ovaries and is able to give birth. The levels of groupthink necessary to keep this ship afloat, the self-censorship, the intimidation, the blatant dishonesty, the denial of debate with howls of ‘transphobia’ point to a left in deep crisis. The middle class-dominated left has abandoned its obligation to critically engage, to clarify and to lead on the political issues of the day. Instead it has simply accepted the terms of the debate put forward by the trans militants (including their really basic conflation of sex and gender).
This failure is rooted in the left’s acceptance of identity politics with its assumption that how a group (or the primary definers within a group) articulates its oppression is the last word on the matter. Yet it is clear that one group’s identity and its claims may easily clash with the claims and identity of another group. Identity politics has no way of negotiating these conflicting claims. In the end the group that can mobilise the most power is the group that will have its claims prevail. In its catastrophic alignment with what is clearly a men’s rights movement, the left has chosen to side with the powerful over the less powerful, men over women, and the middle class over working class women – and it is they in particular who will bear the brunt of trans rights as currently formulated.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
