Huge problem imho, is that a lot of these people who rattle on about voting for harm reduction candidates go home after voting on election day and then don't get involved politically until the next election cycle.

In these bourgeois "democracies" political parties are always going to move to court wealthy donors and thus shift right wing. If you lot over in America can't mobilise enough people out in the street to fight for these causes, to grind your country to a screaming halt if needs be, then the Dems will be where labour is soon. Maybe not this election, but check back in with this comment by the midterms.

I guess there's some small comfort that they'll at least pay lip service to trans rights then.

The labour party won an election over here and one of the first things they did was stop access to puberty blockers. During the election I was told by a lot of liberals preaching harm reduction that, as a trans woman, that I had to vote for them 'cos the Tories would be worse.

I'm worried about trans people over on your side of the ocean being in a similar position where the elections are between trans exterminationist and transphobe.

Okay, can you be more specific about what they did to minimise damage? Like, did they make trans people a protected class, or relieve the bureaucracy around transitioning, or what?

Not an American, so no real stake in this but, could you tell me what the Democrats have done in the past four years to protect trans rights? Since you're all so clearly concerned about them an' all.

That's a brave person right there, to stand in front of all those tanks.

What happened next? I bet it was something terrible.

Do murder ghosts or whatever count as dependents?

There's probably some nightmare tax form for this, isn't there?

Have a good day, friend

You too, mate.

Ah, you're right, I see now, boiling down Marxist critique into "can't control emotions" and "only wants money" while celebrating the individualistic ramblings of a lead-poisoned imperial despot, is a much more rational outlook.

Systemic issues aren't real, you just gotta stop thinking bad thoughts and suddenly the crushing oppression that Aurelius was writing in defense of don't matter.

"Hmm, why would man sitting on the top of an inherently unjust system preach complacency with said system as a virtue? Must be because he's super rational and smart."

  • you, somehow still on that slave mentality in the 21st century.

I started mixing hard and soft expletives originally as a joke, yesterday I dropped a plant pot on my foot and before even thinking the first words that came out of my mouth were, "gosh fucking darn it."

It's called the Perineal Raphe. It's the result of the urogenital folds fusing during the development of an embryo.
