    Lol I meant the struggle between trans people and allies vs people who want to exterminate trans people shouldn’t be made out to be a Marxist vs Capitalist struggle, because there’s a lot fewer allies there and there are plenty of trans people who actually are fairly down with at least some amount of capitalism. I’m all for allies showing their allyship in any direction, but don’t make trans rights seem like an issue that is synonymous with more radical movements because that is how you reduce the number of allies you’re going to find.

    Ie. we need to band together and save fundamental human rights and democracy first, we can hash out our differences later.

    For the sake of optics, I want no confusion that for a random person who doesn’t think they know any trans people, thinking trans people should be left alone and safe doesn’t mean people will assume they are “radical Marxists”
