The thing about a rich trans woman calling trans healthcare bourgeois and not possible under communism is not only that it’s completely ignorant of historical / present conditions, but that it’s fundamentally a claim that only the rich deserve guaranteed access to healthcare—literally “I got mine”

relatable, i'm afraid

let’s see paul allen’s posts

as an aside, i love that The Verge is running this series of pieces on "the future of being trans on the internet"

Hello~ i wrote something for @theverge.com about the surreal horror of online transness in a fascist surveillance state.

it’s time to change tactics and make ourselves less legible to this machinery of death — but *without* sacrificing our connection and community.

standing together makes us strong. standing with labor makes us strong. standing with leftists and revolutionaries and the oppressed around the world takes a billion struggling workers and makes them an army which can push the course of history toward peace and justice.

liberalism has no solutions, only empty rhetoric and a policy of adopting the ways and means of their nominal opponents until they themselves are an ineffective shadow of the monsters currently stripping the american carcass. it will not save you. it will not save us.

do not listen to pundits, even trans pundits, who have given up in their hearts on the dream of liberation, who have preemptively sold out in hopes of becoming part of a world which is already dead and rotting

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

the future's going great
