  • You do understand though that the subject was brought by fascists trying to push the narrative of trans as a threat, and that all of the posts about trans rights are trying to counter this overflowing narrative, right?

    Also I’m sorry but you never need to cooperate with the nazis. If you consider that a minority should be eliminated simply because they are not like you, you do not deserve any form of respect or attention. Or as I’ve seen before, if you are in a protest and someone is undisturbed waving a nazi flag, you are part of a nazi protest.

    You are (intentionally or not, hard to say) pushing the typical stance of the “enlightened centrist” that goes on to say “both sides are wrong so I’m not going to pick sides” which effectively is the same as siding with the fascists. And for the sake of argument, even if people were pushing trans right “too much” (it’s not the case), then so what? If it bothers you so much then it’s probably because you’re against it, I myself am subscribed to a trans community that tends to post a lot of news that I don’t necessarily care to read, but I just keep it because I think it is important to know about it and if I don’t feel like reading it I just skip it. Why on earth would I see it as divisive, unless I am hurt by the existence of trans people?

    All in all, it doesn’t feel like you are genuine and if you are, you are definitely misguided (or influenced?), either way your messages only help and support the narrative of fascists who love the idea that fighting for trans rights could be seen as the cause of chaos and division, it’s their newest scapegoat after all.


  • I don’t define anything like that. What you criticized was people defending trans rights, which definitely is transphobic. Don’t try to sugarcoat and blur what you initially said.

    And if no one gives a shit and the rights are deserved, how do you justify being annoyed with it? If I see people fighting for the right to eat cold fries I’d say “sure, go ahead”, I wouldn’t start opposing them and saying that they’re sowing division. The difference of course being that trans rights are a serious matter.

    You’re just trying to suggest, intentionally or not, that defending trans people is negative for society, and if that is not transphobic I don’t know what is.










  • This does not require ethnicity at all.

    If someone is discriminated because of an ethnicity they don’t actually have (let’s say a Mexican being targeted as an “arab”) should they not get compensation ?

    According to your logic, you need ethnicity to give compensation which means that you require victims to have a specific ethnicity to be recognised, but it is absurd. What makes victims victims is what they went through, not the reason they suffered abuse.

    And this doesn’t even apply to colonization as in this case most of the times the former colony is now a country, and as such you can give compensation to the country and its citizens, no ethnicity required.

    Either way, ethnicity is not needed.



  • Well, american culture making such a big deal about ethnicity even when “positive” did influence a lot.

    I never understood why the N word is racist because of history, but then being black makes it fine to say. It’s still linked to a racist background, but it seems like americans consider that minorities can never be or do anything racist.

    And I mean, in 99% of cases the concept of ethnicity is (or at least is used in a way that is) purely racist. Apart from a few studies on genetic specificities, it has no purpose at all, and definitely no purpose in daily lives and governments.

    What’s weird is that no one with a sane mind would say that a woman saying “women are bitches and shouldn’t be able to work” isn’t misogynistic, but when it comes to racism people are making up exceptions left and right.

    If you focus on ethnicity, chances are you are racist, no matter the justification you put behind it.



  • Seeking help is definitely the way to go as others have pointed out.

    If you don’t care about others feeling hurt, well then just think about it rationally: you probably don’t like getting hurt, so you can understand that they don’t either and trying not to hurt others generally makes the world easier for everyone.

    Now I would also say that aside of that, you should apologize to people you hurt. Not specifically expecting them to forgive you, but because it also logically makes more sense as it might make them feel less bad about your behaviour.

    I would overall try to think about things more rationally than emotionally because it does look like your emotions are your main source of problem right now, and for example thinking that hurting people is going to make them improve is absurd.

    And thinking rationally would let you realize what behaviors are not okay, and let you apologize/warn people about it even if you fail to control yourself. While people would still completely be entitled to distancing themselves from you if your behaviour hurts them, it might at least give them some insight that allows them to get less hurt. And once again, less hurt is generally positive.
