hmm has NOName considered that these folks she criticized are doing more than she thinks? 

ehh , the problem i see is a lot of trans supporters support based on just being good people in general . they often do not have the answers to questions ordinary people have . And the people who do claim to have the answers often have conflicting answers . I believe before you choose to have a “good faith “…

Is one thing to believe a concept like blacklisting and whitelisting can be taken the wrong (even though it's a stretch) it's another to make the positive claim that these terms contribute to societal problems

Yet another example of pointless token moves . How about hire more black people in tech? 

Well that’s the biggest issue right there , no one can consistently explain the trans experience , not even supporters . For example you just used “mind/soul” as if those things aren’t just concepts. I don’t blame people for the push back either . In my opinion we are where we’re at because instead of accepting trans…

lol “sTaCeY aBrAmS”

this assumes Democrats are unified , i dont think “defund the police” is even popular in democrat circles . we need to at the very least make the message clear to our own people . 

“there would still be armed responders of some kind” ....you mean cops?

you can see in this very comment section that there isnt a clear understanding of what this means even among supporters of the position . i see that as a huge problem

theres a huge optics issue with this position and its kind of fighting against itself . the nuance explanation are actually good but the slogan doesnt get the message across 

Also is there any evidence that defunding is even practical? 

Implications... You need to consider the IMPLICATIONS. Also consider the fact that alot maybe even most are underfunded . What do you do about police that are already underfunded? Defund them more? This just seems like using a sledgehammer when we should be using a velvet glove

Indian women who promoted a whitening cream years ago and has spoken about regretting it is not a hypocrite if she now supports BLM . I don’t care how many times you Russian bots want spread this type of message the division tactics ain’t going to work with me . Your not going to convince me she’s a bad ally because…

Idk if you're considering the negative effects of defunding . Defunding isn't some magical thing that makes people straighten themselves out . Sure money is power but think of this like a graph where budget is on the x axis and corruption is the y axis . The graph in my mind would be an upside down U . You can refund…

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️this doesn’t make my point a false equivalency. The foundation of my point is the adherence to western standards of beauty.in both examples (black woman with a wig and Indian using lightening cream) both are attempting to adhere to western standards of beauty. It only take a second to look at bollywood’s…

“the beauty standard in asia is not a european one” “ it was not due to colonialism” i think you need to double check your sources . there’s a very clear influence from colonialism, but if you want to deny it because you think it makes your point then so be it .

its really not a false equivalence . i dont have to find  situation where a black woman referenced asian or indian atrocities while also engaging in colorism . i just have to find a black woman that simultaneously promotes european beauty standards while also supporting BLM. Mind you i dont see either example as…

many of whom may not identify as female, didnt you get the memo ? sex is a social construct to now . its a spectrum supposedly. the problem is that there is no consistency in this topic. we say sex and gender are different but what exactly do you think gender is referring to ? gender definitely isnt referring to how…

i dont think terfs actually think gender is biological , that why they don’t believe trans women when they say they were “born” women , or when they say they’ve always been women. terfs believe gender is purely a social construct which is why the push back on the idea of “feeling” like a woman 

ehhh i dont think trans rights were being negated anywhere here. i also dont think JK was saying trans people dont deserve rights . its this type of hyperbole and strawman, that is fighting against us . why do you use strawmen to make your point ?
