The left is so susceptible to right wing propaganda, we saw it with Hillary Clinton and now we’re seeing it with Nancy Pelosi and with activist leaders like Sarsour. It seems like people on the left internalize the negative propaganda and start couching anything positive they have to say with things like, “I’m no…

So, basically, she’s getting the same treatment as a lot of recent purity-obsessed Progressive targets on the Left?

Maybe some people don’t feel comfortable being around people whose job function pretty much boils down to “kill brown people”.

Given the spread of white supremacists throughout the armed forces due to the military’s constantly-lowering standards for entry, I politely disagree.

Not everybody likes the military.

Without looking too far into it the owner seems to be pretty political and an activist. He probably doesn’t support American colonialism and aggression. I don’t see an issue with someone extending that lack of support to the people actually doing the fighting.

True. I mean, I’m white, and I know I’m terrible. The best I can do is just try to be better, you know? But part of trying to improve is listening to the people who are actually affected by a lack of privilege, and these folks are amazingly resistant to that.

It’s your definition, and it differs markedly from most other folks’. And again, you’re lecturing me on the dangers trans people face-great ally work! I believe in other people’s bodily autonomy, but I also believe that your definition of consent, if applied universally, would be unwieldy to the point of absurdity.…

You don’t get cookie points for being “aware” of some of your own privilege, and you especially don’t get to own the label “ally” while actively telling trans people that you want them to expose themselves to danger in service of your own personal concept of consent.

You could? I dunno. Why do you expect me to figure that out for you?

Oh the deflection and projection!

Oh no, did your R fall off? You should have someone look at that.

You have a weird idea of how sex work...works.

Yeah, I don’t get it. I don’t care if he knew or not. There is no excuse for not paying people, period.

Hi bb

Thank you for the Queen Latrice gif!!

Yeah, that’s not a thing.

Say what now?

You used the correct term :)

As a cis person, the past week of transphobic controversies have taught me two things: We, myself included, are terrible allies (and give ourselves too much credit), and we don’t understand anything about sex workers’ health and rights.
