They just really love genocide that much

If genocide isn’t a red line then I really don’t see how trans or black issues are.

The dem’s have been moving right in a really fast pace the last few years. Harris is now promoting fascist ideas about immigrants, similar to Trump in 2016. There is no reason to expect the democrats to not turn on trans people and the fact that Harris won’t even say out right she supports them or wants to improve how trans people get treated (transmedicalism is a big problem in the US), is a sign that trans rights are next in line.

If you’re disabled like OP calling the police is dangerous. They will not understand OP’s disability and will make them do stuff that will harm them. It’s better to look for local mutual aid organisations specialised in people with disabilities.

God you people are disgusting. If there was one woman here she would’ve left after seeing your comment.

Which is why people without ME should read it. I don’t know if you know anything about ME (if not then why haven’t you read the article?) but even reading an article like that can literally make someone with ME sick for a day or a week because of the emotional energy it costs to process it.

You can look for political organisations near you and see if one aligns with your views and goals. Especially if you want change on a local level it’s not necessary to join one of the big ones. Small orgs (if they’re well structured and focused) usually influence people by organising lectures to educate and actions to spread awareness. Some organisations also have a mutual aid program, these are more common in places with oppressive governments because there you have to look out for one another and ensure survival.

There are trans organisations who do all the things I mentioned and they are focused fully on trans issues. In my opinion the best trans organisations are those that have a focus on the oppression of immigrants, ethnic minorities and people of colour, because trans people in those groups face more oppression, more discrimination and can have more difficulty transitioning through the ‘official routes’.

Trans orgs will often educate people in DIY hrt and are even more focused on mutual aid. However there are trans organisations who also organise public events and actions to spread awareness. They can also play an educative role for political parties that want to improve the lives of trans people, but also for schools and workers unions.

To give an example, I have a local organisation near me that provides educative workshops at willing schools where they talk about their queer experiences and the political and social struggles that come with being queer. There have been studies that show that these kinds of workshops make children more aware of queerphobia and they reduce bullying based on queer traits (one part of the workshop is to ask the class if anyone has ever used ‘gay’ as an insult to start a discussion on why that is so common and how that makes (closeted) gay people feel).

I wouldn’t suggest anyone who’s still struggling with accepting their ME to read this article because it’s very focused on the bleak aspects. Anyone that doesn’t have ME should read it though.

My evening is definitely ruined after reading the first half (I couldn’t finish it).

Nothing, just don’t assume that everyone refusing to vote for a genocide supporter is privileged and don’t speak for me.

I’m trans and so fucking sick of people here using my existence as an excuse to support/ignore genocide. My rights are not more important than those of Palestinians and anyone saying that they support me while killing brown muslim people abroad will not get my support. The interesting part is that Harris won’t even plainly say she supports trans peoples rights, she has to dance around it and say it in the most vague meaningless terms. You know that trans people are the next in line to be thrown in front of the bus by the dems.

It’s not just an embargo, it’s a criminal blockade that every UN country except the US, Israel and Ukraine has agreed should end.

We do! I remember your username because I’ve seen you post good takes in a sea of genocide defenders attacking you.

Whataboutism is not a serious argument.

Russia is helping with an effort to create pressure to stop a genocide and the US is helping commit the genocide.

Morality did not suddenly appear with international law and international law does not define morality now. What an ignorant take. ‘Property rights’ are made up by western colonialists to oppress indigenous peoples.

Native Americans should be given back their land just like Palestinians.

This is a weird comparison. Native Americans were the victims a of horrific genocide similar to Palestinians now.

The critique I have on people who say that is that most people don’t organise because they feel like they already did their job by voting. I don’t care if and how you vote. I do care if you don’t do anything about the fucking genocide.

You wash because of the pesticides.

Rich people know that they are exempt to most rules and sometimes they just want to impose them on others.
