    Universal health care is literally nothing if we are legally barred from accessing healthcare at all. Which they are absolutely trying to do. They are trying to legally mandate transgender people out of existence and force our assigned sex at birth upon us. Project 2025 includes proposed legislation that would literally make it illegal to be a transgender person. It would make it a sex offense on par with CSA to be a transgender person in public. If you don’t understand what our community is facing right now, then STOP talking about trans rights activism like you’re an authority on the subject.

    You are just apathetic to trans rights. If you are willing to drop us like that in order to appease a right wing group then you don’t give a shit about our rights. That’s the truth. I’ll ask again: Will you do the same for reproductive rights? Will you stop pushing reproductive rights to keep this momentum of class solidarity (among cis men) going?

    No, I’m not going to shut up, and you are ultimately an enemy of my rights and the rights of my community, my friends and loved ones. I don’t care if you think I’m the most annoying person in the world. I will NEVER leave minority rights behind to unite with bigotry. Screw that. I am fighting for a liberated world. No one is left behind in that. I am not going to accept violence against trans people to seek the approval of fascists.

      Your opinion of me and my motivations is entirely irrelevant. It doesn’t change the situation we’re in at all. I’m practical enough to understand that playing to your audience is not the same thing as compromising your values. You can keep insisting that it is if it makes you feel better about losing but it’s not going to help you win.

        You have a very strange way of talking about transgender rights. We’re talking about the lives of trans people. People will die as a consequence of the laws they’re trying to pass, taking our rights away. You again seemingly have no idea what you’re talking about. Playing to our audience in this case would be backing off and letting them take our rights away. How in God’s name do you plan to secretly protect our rights while publicly appealing to people trying to take them away? You cannot do both if you protect our rights then fascists won’t align with you, and if you don’t protect our rights and allow others to attack us then you’re functionally one of them.

        Again you are an enemy of the trans community who is literally arguing about why it is entirely acceptable for our rights to be taken away. You’re arguing about why cis people should befriend violent transphobes by passively tolerating their bigotry. You see our rights as a game, a tool, a nice win in the end but if trans people need to take the hit now then so be it. I will never tolerate that. You are also laughably incapable of making a coherent argument to trans people about this position.
