I just got a message from a trans friend saying they got banned from /r/trans for trying to post the feinberg image I made some time ago. They messaged me, saying they were crying, because they got banned from 4 trans subreddits because of it and they were one of their only places of support and was so shocked that it was against the rules. They were already harassed off reddit once. I mentioned they could come here.

Its so fucking crazy that literally the 2-5% of trans people, liberals, were able to get ahold of the trans subreddits and hold our communities hostage, fragment them, and purge any trans people that want to fight and advocate for third world trans people who are literally having bombs dropped on their heads. I spend half my time on here going through ban logs to make sure as many trans people get to be here as possible and are dealt with leniently because of shit like this.

    Isn’t Leslie responsible for a good portion of the language we use in the trans struggle today?

    liberals are traitors, they’ve thrown the entire community under the bus for their ideological nonsense. I don’t understand how they can discard us for actually caring about our rights and places in society and then try to simp for fuckin democrats. Its not right at all. Although I do no think they deserve the wall treatment, sadly I think they’ll learn on their own in time.

    Interesting, so has Israeli forces taken over Reddit? Would make for an interesting article for an investigative journalist to look into.

      The problem generally speaking is that liberals run a lot of reddit and there’s a certain type of liberal in mod teams that always wants the space to rigidly adhere to the liberal party line. That line at the moment is pro-zionism. So the outcome is this.

      There is definitely some discussion in backrooms about whether it’s worthwhile for radicals to split from liberals when they do this. It’s an attitude of “the wrong kind of trans”. Support and protection in a community shouldn’t require you adhere to a certain political position on non-trans issues. Support and protection should be unconditional.
