  • I agree with everything you said 100%, except the bit about how if voting worked it’d be illegal. Republicans are literally trying to make it that way. One of their main goals is to disenfranchise as many poor people and minorities as possible, bc if everyone voted, republicans would lose every election by a landslide. That’s why they love things like manually registering to vote, randomly deregistering people, the electoral college, and hand counting ballots, while opposing mail-in and absentee ballots, automatic voter registration, RCV, basically anything that gives Americans more voting power. Voting is very much the least you can do to affect change in America, but it is still a thing you can and should do regularly before republicans abolish it


  • I’ll concede that the situation in the UK might not be genocide yet, I don’t know if conversion therapy is done there, but it should be obvious enough where they’re going that I don’t understand why you’d argue it’s not genocide. Who benefits from you saying “it’s not genocide yet, so don’t say that word until it’s too late and you’re all rounded up and killed”? “The transgender community is silently facing genocide” might be a better headline, bc it’s right on the horizon there and already happening in some US states

    So no response? “Explain how conversion therapy, systemic violence, denying important healthcare, and an active push to have us all wiped out isn’t genocide” if you have an actual argument I’ll listen, just make sure it’s more convincing than “actually it’s not genocide unless 1500000000000000000000 people are killed en masse you’re just diluting the term” I get trans people aren’t genocided everywhere, but again, explain how conversion therapy, systemic violence, denying important healthcare, and an active push to have us all wiped out isn’t genocide

    Well we didn’t kill 90kasquillion natives so it’s actually not genocide. Literally only the holocaust is a genocide. It’s just something that can never happen again, sorry you can’t accept that

    No shit natives were treated worse than trans people, that doesn’t make this not genocide. It’s not the oppression Olympics, you can actually recognize more than one genocide at a time.

    I’ll go ahead and paste what I asked someone else here: Explain how conversion therapy, systemic violence, denying important healthcare, and an active push to have us all wiped out isn’t genocide

    (deleted bc rude)

    Thank you for the clemency, though I kinda don’t care about getting banned from here considering a lot of the hostility towards trans people I’ve seen on .world (including from mods and admins). I’m just gonna post cool nice stuff on onehundredninetysix or whatever the new offshoot called :3

    I know I prob shouldn’t say libtard, but I’m autistic and I’ve been called retarded and I hate liberals so I don’t really care anymore. I am sorry for calling you that, I shouldn’t have assumed that of you

    Fair enough, I’m sorry for assuming you were also disagreeing

    You might be right about cissy being misogynistic. I always meant it as a straggot-style inversion on tranny and kind of a reference to the kink, if it just comes across as me unfavorably comparing cis people to women I’ll stop using that

    Trying to deny healthcare and rights to trans people while politicians and terfs try to get us all locked up, sterilized, or killed, definitely not genocide. Like how the US didn’t genocide native Americans, just destroy their culture and society and kill a bunch of them (but not enough to actually be a genocide)
