    Fuck Gavin Newsom’s traitorous ass. Trans rights are human rights.

    Being able to access my medicine is absolutely at the forefront of my mind, thanks for letting me know I'm not helping.

    Your part is throwing everyone else to the wolves until you are fighting alone? If you can't fight with us at least don't fight against us.

    So "minorkeys not having access to things" is death but state violence to others is not?

    Now that we are at strawmen void of those pesky human emotions like "that person just needs to pee while out in public" and "maybe sacrificing an entire group of people because minorkeys can't walk and chew bubblegum is bad" we can get to the robot pragmatism. If you genuinely care about safety of workers, fair wages, decent working conditions and checks on corporate power workers unions are at worst the best stopgap. Trans people have had an outsized impact on unionization campaigns in recent history. If you say that we need to throw trans people under the bus to focus on the very issue they, broad brush as a group, excel at fixing I assume you are arguing in bad faith.

    "How does chemotherapy help anyone but the cancer patient?"

    That's what you sound like.

    It doesn't have to, you fucking nitwit. Chemotherapy is for the benefit of the cancer patient.

    And guess what? Everyone benefits from living in a society where everyone is able to access the medical care that they need.

    Only someone truly insane, out-of-touch, malicious, misanthropic, cynical, selfish, and short-sighted would ever ask a question like "But how do I or anyone else benefit from you receiving medical treatment?"

    Wow you're so progressive for asking trans people to martyr themselves for the greater good /s. Would you call the LGBT community selfish for rejecting a Democrat who was willing to sacrifice gay marriage too or is this a unique view on trans rights for you?

    Not at all. Just reprioritize to focus on the fires that threaten everything, including trans acceptance and support. Anyone who focuses on lesser, personal threats, is themselves, a hazard to everyone else, and to themselves.

    My most urgent issue is human rights. Ipso facto trans rights. If you think you can Munich Conference your way into "helping" fight the modern Nazis, you are the one who should reassess the value you are adding

    Perhaps it should be the increasing reduction in resource access and the loss of the tangible value of labour within the market economy monopoly.

    "I don't give a single damn about racial equality!" Yells the white Pullman employee. Division and dilution is how we dug this hole. Stop digging.

    Those are not mutually exclusive to trans rights. There’s actually considerable overlap.

    If rights are shared with non-trans, they aren't trans rights, they're just human rights

    But if you decide trans people don’t qualify as human, their rights don’t matter anymore. If that becomes acceptable, all anyone has to do to deny you of your own human rights is to decide you are some lesser life form without legal protections.

    We help eachother swim or every damn one of us drowns.

    Existential threats kind of supercede anything else honestly. Just because the Republicans happen to be doing absolutely everything evil and destructive possible across the board, that doesn't mean any of the individual issues are less severe.

    Not getting a specific trans right isn't an existential threat and it is relatively less severe than the emergence of a technofacist surveillance state and the re-enslavement of humanity, imo.
