I forgot how openly transphobic this instance often is, why the fuck did the mods try to move here and why is it still here??

    They’re right. As much as there’s room for improvement, it is nothing compared to a genocide, as anyone who’s actually experienced one will tell you.

      We’re gonna start getting killed by trump in the next few years. Probably same in Britain and Germany and a bunch of other “liberal democracies”. Very glad to know you’re not interested in stopping the genocide currently happening, let alone the massacre yet to come :3

      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)

        Honestly stunning that you’d equate discrimination against trans people with the numerous atrocities committed against American indigenous people.

        Either you don’t know what happened to the indigenous peoples of the Americas, or you’re a fucking idiot. Possibly both. This is well beyond hyperbole.

          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

            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

          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

        I’m a trans communist.

        Also, don’t you think the play on words with cis and sissy is a bit of a misogynistic “insult”?

              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

                Actually I think you’re probably right about that one. I’ve only seen it a couple times before, so ig I had some false assumptions about it.

      So far we have:

      • “cissy”, which I suspect is a play on words with cis and “sissy”, a sexist insult.

      • “libtard” which is not just particularly insulting to me as a communist, but is also ableist

      • and “eat shit and die, assholes”

      I shouldn’t have to tell you that this behavior is against 196 rules. I forgive you, so I’m not going to do anything myself, but I can’t make any promises about the other mods.

        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 removed 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
