Yep. It was infuriating to talk to some of the people that should have known better. I’m not talking about the magaferbrainz types; I’m talking about certain so-called leftists I know. Because somethingsomethinggenocide, as if handing things to Donvict would be morally superior.

And of course the bothsides dumbasses that “don’t want to talk about politics” are nearly as bad. These are the ones that would say, innocently, “but aren’t both of them old?” as if 1) Age had any-fucking-thing to do with any of this shit and 2) Biden was actually still in the race at the point that said something so fantastically stupid.

I am trans. Do not use our name to justify genocide. Trans people are one of the single most pro-Palestinian demographics in the country. And if you’re so morally bankrupt that you’ll support genocide, you’ll throw trans people under the bus when it’s politically convenient.

You don’t realize what the moral test of genocide represents. It’s not just about Palestine. It’s a test of someone’s moral convictions. Trans people need politicians who actually believe in our rights. We’re a demonized minority group, and it’s always going to be politically convenient to give in to bigots and compromise our rights away one by one. The exact same centrist Democrats that supported Palestinian genocide are now the ones moving to the right on trans issues.

It was a test of character. A test of whether someone is willing to do the right thing, even if it’s politically inconvenient. Any politician that isn’t willing to do the morally right but unpopular thing is no ally of trans people.

This is what Harris preferred to denouncing genocide. This was known to be the agenda going in.
