i dont think the left is silent on it, you are misplacing your anger. its MSM and social media suppressing/censoring talk of transgender in any form. any mention of transgender can either be misconstrued as anti-trans and would result in immediate bans , such as on reddit. MSM has a right wing leaning narrative, so of course trans issue is never discussed.
and its extremely astro-turfed on SC. i once pointed out things with pro-trans message on reddit, and it was labeled as anti-trans for some reason, or accidental misgendering. thats why theres no talk of it. its either overmoderated, or right wing groups are controlling the narrative.
[...] The best way to protect trans rights and stand up for Gaza rn is by stopping Trump.
By airbear13 is pretty much the crux of the issue.
I think too many people are unfamiliar with the plight of trans folks to be able to understand and actively defend them against targeted attacks from the right, but they would passively support them just like any other human being. Also I very much sympathize with OP's trauma from receiving a handful of hateful comments, it can make one defensive against even supportive and well-meaning comments.
The right wing loves to amplify culture wars and use gender identity as a boogeyman to distract them from all the ways the US government is screwing its residents over at the moment.
People at large have a locus of control. Immigrants, trans folks, minorities, poor people, Palestinians, and now anyone that doesn't feel sympathy Charlie Kirk are being targeted, along with trans and nonbinary people. Trying to measure out who deserves how much attention and determine if they are getting it, doesn't serve any purpose but to divide. We can acknowledge trans people's right to exist while also fighting a class war.
I'd even go as far as this: Wanting your group prioritized while complaining about "deafening silence" when talking about any other group seeking equity, is the kind of things TERFs and Log Cabin Republicans do.
Trans Rights are Human Rights, standing up against Trump is about standing up for Trans Rights and the rights of every person living in the US.
I dunno, can't I just as easily ask why are trans people so quiet about non trans issues? Cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid affects everyone, including trans people, but for some reason I hear about trans athletes more than Medicaid. I don't even care about sports in general, but I'm supposed to call Newsom a Nazi because what, he didn't support trans sports well enough? It's that hyperbolic nonsense that makes people not take trans rights seriously because there's no making anyone happy.
In fact I'm starting to think trans people attacking Newsom are Russian bots at this point.
It's a privilege to transition not a right.
fuck all the way off. Healthcare is a right. Like actually fuck off though, your kind is not welcome.
You are missing that "transitioning" is the only known healthcare treatment option for trans people. By saying that they shouldn't transition but "cure their gender dismorphia" you're not actually giving them an alternative, since there is no known method to cure gender dismorphia without transitioning.
So what you are doing is saying trans people should not get healthcare, so you are saying that getting healthcare is not a human right (or you're saying that trans people aren't human).
I am not saying they shouldn't transition I said I don't consider it heathcare. You should be born the gender you should be that is healthy. I am not doing anything just because I consider other things more important right now the question was answered. So do I have to vote for trump in his forth election?
I fully support trans people existing
oh gee oh wow what a progressive, not calling for trans people to be murdered.
it transitioning
I fully condemn your kind existing.
You might want to look at my full conversation with them. It might pleasantly surprise you.
Yea see this is the type of facism that born the alt right facism am i not allowed to be progressive do I have to be alt right because I don't have exactly the same stance you do on a particular subject? I feel like there is no better example for who is actually responsible for MAGA being created in the first place. Remember SJWs?
Come on, if you're going to be hateful at least try for originality. This is boring.
Wasn't hateful tho, you just disagree with my opinion.
You mean your opinion that, rather than give people the only known cure for their condition we should just give them a cure that doesn't exist, because you find the existing treatment personally icky? You're right, I do disagree. I think people deserve medical care. It's hateful to argue one demographic doesn't because you don't like them.
It's standard, boilerplate hate. I've heard it a million times from people exactly as ill informed as you. It's boring. It's hateful. It's stupid.
Be better.
