Not sure if you’re doing a bit but you literally proved my point for me. I was saying:
to paraphrase: I am pro trans and obviously vehemently against anti trans people but this story also reminds me of why our numbers are so thin on the left.
Comrade knows exactly what your saying. The entire premise of us having actual tangable principals being some sort problem that needs to be solved is a reactionary framing of this to begin with.

The principles aren't the fucking problem. The people out there who represent people don't have any principles. Why do you want me to pretend this isn't true? Even fucking Bernie Sanders was calling for Palestinian blood.
I guess my main point comes back to the fact that we only have two choices (and I certainly haven't seen anyone sharpening their guillotine blades):
A.) Who the fuck should we vote for? (I've given up on electorialism)
Any organization hosting anti-trans viewpoints should be immediately dissolved. It's not a measure of purity, it's not up for debate. Anyone who isn't vocally pro-trans rights is not a comrade of mine. Trans rights or nothing. No facilitation of anti-trans views.
The only debate to be had is if transphobes should get re-eduaction or lined up against a brick wall.
I read exactly what you wrote and I disagreed with it. There will be no compromises with transphobes, even if we are "losing the war on austerity because of our purity." I've had this exact discussion with parties I've organized with. PSL for instance has frequent struggle sessions over transphobia and bigotry. The conclusion I reach is always the same, no compromise with transphobia.
If you're saying all this shit as some kind of mental gymnastics to justify voting for Democrats or whatever lib party exists for you, just do it. No one cares. Vote for whoever you want and then go back to organizing.
Furthermore you're a nerd who should stop posting.
