How can you recognize that

  1. Trans people revolutionize thought about gender and sexuality

And then not recognize that

  1. Trans women revolutionize politics

I love like

“Yeah trans people are fine but sometimes their politics are crraaaaazyyyyy”

    Is bad Healthcare a tenet of capitalism?

    its less about the quality and more about the accesability of it; trans people find themselves needing to wait 3-4x longer for standard appointments than other people because they are de-prioritized for treatment and there legal recongition is often gatekeeped behind hospital doors.

    Also the UK, which is my perspective only has a single hospital setup to treat trans people, with a waiting list of 8 years; trans people often have to goto the black market to get medicine they need.

    All this togther with a media enviroment that demonizes them and then you find communists preaching actual answers to all of this; socialized health care like cuba, taking control of the media to stop them from creating moral panics against LGBT+ people and a focus on improving there material conditions.

    Think about how the far right approach this, its less nuanced and more fear based. We have sciencetific thought on our side, we will win.
