Exactly. People like that don’t care so much about racism. All they really care about is taking every opportunity to be transphobic and disseminate crackpot TERF ideology, even when they have no idea if the person in question is trans.

I posted here last year about my own abuser:

Emma Lazarus was a Sephardic Jew. Hardly considered “white” in the USA at the time.

Yes.

The whole supposed “left wing” motivation was absurd from the start.  As if he murdered 9 people to support Elizabeth Warren’s health care plan. 

You think there are no white people in Brazil?

It would be easy to depoliticize PP.  It can just stop being an abortion provider entirely.  Problem solved, right?

It’s all about the Jews? I never would have guessed anyone would go there!

It sounds like you’re trying to say that trans women have “loud voices” because they’re really men.  And trans men are really women.  If that’s so, then you’re just pretending to support trans men and trans masculine people -- you saw an opportunity to be transphobic, and took it.   Correct me if I’m wrong, but your…

It was also notorious as a toxic cesspool for trans people, with all sorts of “transsexual supremacists” insulting and lording it over everyone else.

Agree about Angel. It’s an amazing, liberating feeling to be in a situation where your’re outside your usual environment and are taken unquestioningly as who you are, and nobody has any idea about your history. (For Angel, two aspects of it.) And if you then find out that someone “clocked” you after all, i can…

Either you didn’t watch the first season or you weren’t paying attention. Sandra Bernhard’s character was in several episodes in the first season, and had a substantial role in at least one.

I believe it reduces the ability to “perform” sexually. Which probably does nothing whatsoever to reduce the urge to assault and rape children.

No. The statistic is that 41% of trans people have at least attempted suicide. Horrendous, but not what you say.

No. Her records have never been made public.

Did they have access to her medical records?  Because nothing at all has ever once been made public confirming that she has XY chromosomes -- not that I think that should be determinative even if it’s true.

Except, of course, for their positions on so-called “identity politics,” which traditional leftists dismiss as trivial because racism, sexism, etc. will all magically disappear when the class struggle is won.

All of the things you mention existed long before and apart from capitalism. I’m afraid that I tend to believe that all systems of government and social organization created by people are terrible, because people are terrible.

Trump didn’t know the difference between the Balkans and the Baltic. The chances that he has any idea where Sri Lanka is are nil.

You have to worry about “valid defenses” to a possible claim long before you’re in court, if you fail to consult an attorney and then fail to exhaust internal remedies. You might find it difficult to find an attorney to represent you in the first place, never mind losing any chance of getting a reasonable cause…
