    They are brought up by many different people to prove that white people are weak and perverted

    L-o-L. You mean they are brought up by transphobic people to prove they are transphobic? Who in their fucking right mind use trans people as an excuse for working class issues?

        The only thing you are saying is that as there are transphobic people we should be ashamed of helping trans people because transphobic people can use that as a weapon against the working class problems. Im sorry but its the most stupid argument i have seen in a while. I am also working class, i have worked in a fast food restaurant, in a supermarket putting up the avocados you pack up and even picking up dog shit in the streets of my town, and i can tell you no one among 150+ people i worked with was worried about trans people in their working class problems.

          What you’re saying is right, but there’s an important distinction between actively disparaging or hating on trans people and ignoring the issue.

          The 150+ people have no issue with trans people, exactly as you say, bringing trans people to the forefront is not a problem but also not necessarily a priority or relevant in many of their minds. We can treat them like human beings who deserve protection and treatment like anyone else, but that doesn’t mean putting them on a pedestal at every moment.

          Even advocates take issue when a campaign shoehorns in a token trans person with no real role, it’s very contrived. Progressives have to show that trans inclusivity matters to everyone by connecting it to themes and action that matter to a lot of people, not just tick boxes for each obligatory shout out to a marginalized group.

          No argument was made. I am just responding with a true report from someone who has in fact met working clas speople, being one of them. They are on fact very transphobic,

            Working class people can be bigots, too. Fucking pathetic of you to fail to realise that.

            That is what the fascists WANT from you, you fucking useful idiot. They WANT you to hate on trans people instead of talking about how fucking EGGS have tripled in price over the last two years. They WANT you to shit on trans people instead of discuss how housing is becoming unaffordable…

            and your stupid ass eats it up, hook line and sinker. Pathetic. Fucking pathetic.

              I feel like this article was shaming people for talking about things that affect working class people like the price of EGGS instead of focusing the conversation on trans people?

                  Ok. Thanks. I think it might have been too clever for useful fucking idiots like me. So the article IS concerned about the price of EGGS?

                    No, it’s satire about how the distractions like hating on lgbtq+ work. Why do you insist on falling for the distractions? Weird to choose to be a fucking idiot.
