blocked her bc I'm not going to fucking put up with someone who's like yeah I think it's worth arguing about trans refugees being privileged bc disabled trans ppl can't flee. this is a good faith argument

YES I AM TALKING ABOUT MY FRIEND WHO LEFT THE US AND IS NOW HOMELESS AND AMSTERDAM AND IS BEING SCOLDED BY CIS PPL WHO ARE ARGUING SHE'S NOT BEING POLITICALLY PERSECUTED BUT IS IN FACT PRIVILEGED

okay and it doesn't fucking mean that people who have to leave everything behind to flee political persecution are privileged????? this is your fucking brain on privilege discourse is s2fg

sorry you can't read let me help

bsky.app/profile/andr...

can you please fucking learn time and place firstly but secondly if you read the rest of my posts you'll see that this was inspired by cis ppl calling my trans friend who is homeless in Amsterdam privileged and saying she's wrong to act like she's a victim of fascist persecution

SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT MONEY DOES SHE HAVE ELON HATES HER

like my trans friend I mentioned earlier. a white guy chided her bc there are poor brown ppl who are actually persecuted in Amsterdam and she's sooooo privileged. like asshole she gave up everything and is now functionally homeless. literally kys

ESP CRAZY CONSIDERING HOW AMERICAN FASCISTS ARE ALSO PERSECUTING IMMIGRANTS RN BUT YOU KNOW. WE REFUSE TO CONNECT THE DOTS

I agonized about leaving my community!!!! everyone was so kind to me. and now a lot of them are moving too. it sucks ass this isn't a fucking privilege. privilege means you take your safety for fucking granted

sorry your radlib brain is so damaged that you're missing that the majority of trans prisoners are POC and trans women & that we're talking about the state-sanctioned imprisonment and torture of Black trans women especially

crazy to me that Americans will be like ohhhh the gay Russian refugees and then be like trans ppl you're overreacting when the federal govt has stated its desire to label trans ppl as domestic terrorists and have just adopted forced conversion therapy for trans federal prisoners

personally as a trans person I celebrate trans ppl who can get out while they can and encourage cis allies to help out those who can't instead of falling into a crab bucket mentality

it's so crazy that radlibism has reached "being a refugee is a privilege bc other ppl can't leave" like bitch shut the fuck up oh my god

I KNOW AND YET.

frothing at the mouth as a Leftist TM to tell trans ppl that we're overreacting and privileged is the ultimate conclusion of absolutely unhinged idpol that rejects material analysis and solidarity with others and uses it instead as a weapon to bully others btw

way better up here. I think it's worth it

I also sit and wait for ppl to accuse me of privilege bc I moved to NY when said move from KS drained my savings and was only possible bc my partner financially supported me. this month is the first time in six months that I've been able to afford my rent

I'm not sure, she and her partner (also trans) are on some kind of visa. they've been bouncing around between hotel rooms and rental properties

The depressing thing is that the majority of people have been dismissive of these things in the past as well. People nowadays come with: "It's tasteless to compare it to [insert victim group]!" & you can go check the historic record & see that people back then dismissed it as well.

these are all Leftists TM btw. they were mad at her bc she's white and privileged and has no right to complain

a trans friend of mine from kansas moved to amsterdam and got a letter over there telling her that her ks license is invalid and she made a post about the parallels to the nazis and immediately she was hounded by cis ppl yelling at her for falsely framing herself as a victim of fascist persecution

This is what happens when one side is allowed to lie about trans ppl indefinitely with zero pushback from the other side. The average american has no clue how gender affirming care even works. One side lies and tells them horrendous nonsense while the other side at best says nothing, at worst agrees

mentioning jarhead again as one of the best modern war films bc I think it does a GREAT job capturing the US military as a bunch of chronically depressed middle class losers who don't really do much besides bear witness to and support tech-driven war crimes

idk like full disclosure my step-dad is a retired first sergeant and if you ever spent any time around military ppl. they are NOT going to college if they're non-commissioned lmfao. and the poor veterans are not really exponentially helped by benefits anyway (look at any VA hospital, lordy)

I feel like there are some weird wires being crossed after Black working class ppl were disproportionately DRAFTED into the Vietnam War but a) it was not popular among them and b) the GI Bill was meant to primarily help MIDDLE CLASS WWII VETERANS reintegrate

can we be for real. the people signing up for the military are middle class kids. the fed govt recently announced GI Bill benefits won't apply to certain universities, they're rolling it back. the ppl in the ghetto do not give a fuck comparatively

that sounds so fun!!!!! I would be like wow I wish I had a masters in American literature dad but my fiance is basically that lol so I get a similar experience

YESSSS sick as hell

take this as my official as i lay dying recommendation btw. it's a book that trolls you in the best way possible and i'm dying to talk about it with someone lol
