Mr president, the predominantly cis radlibs claiming that “all tankies are transphobic” are about to visit the trans tankie website and discover we’re even more far left because of our queerness, not despite it
Smash that report button, I’m being vigilant in videos, politics, and marxism
They’ll just do the usual cope of “they’re only pretending to be queer”. Which is basically the same as the entire anti tankie cope of “they’re only pretending to be left” anyway so they’re already well practiced
Or alternatively that we’re just a token minority that the ‘silent cis majority’ of tankies on this website keep around and pretend to respect and publicly defend all as a cynical ploy to rainbow wash themselves - despite how the majority of the mod team is trans, the majority of power posters are trans, almost a majority of the semi-active users are trans, and how, despite our limited federation, we still have the most active trans specific comm on lemmy/kbin almost entirely from trans users on just hexbear and lemmygrad
If anything the cishet users on this are the token ‘minority’
a cynical ploy to rainbow wash themselves
Ngl if this is a cynical ploy, it’s a really good one and the site is extremely comitted
how the fuck does a silent majority even work on a forum? you have to post to participate
As a follow up to myself although it’s a funny cope it’s still kinda harmful because a lot of queers suffer from all sorts of queer imposterness (like me yay!) and it really sucks when folks tell me I’m not queer. It took years of being told I am and I’m positive this is a very common experience. So yeah. Funny cope but also still harmful. So when they inevitably brigade us, fellow queers, you are queer enough. I promise.
Being told I’m not left enough is just funny though they can keep that cope.

Denying that trans people are actually trans is textbook transphobia, but i wouldn’t expect anything else from liberals after the whole federation disaster. These people cannot conceptualize that we exist as actual human beings they can have a conversation with, we’re just a political wedge issue to them. We’re something they can use to set themselves apart from Republikans, we do not exist to these solipsistic lanyard-wearing asses as distinct individuals with agency and the fact that we, by the very nature of our existence, know a million times more about queer issues than them, is completely unbearable to liberals. I don’t think any of these cis shits has ever consciously talked to a trans person before, they’re completely overwhelmed when they see that people here have other pronouns than “he/him”. Any time i’ve argued with stupid fuckheads like that, they adamantly refused to say “you” when talking about trans people, it was always “they” as if i wasn’t even there.
I see this a lot with folks talking about how we defederated from blahaj. “Well their head mod is trans so how can they be an unsafe place for trans people!” We have many trans mods and trans users Hexbear and everyone agreed that blahaj was not a safe space for our trans community. Libs ignore the multitude of trans voices here in favor of the few trans voices elsewhere that agree with them because they don’t really care about trans people in the first place. It’s all tokenization. Insert any marginalized group in place of trans folks and the point stands. Libs don’t care about anything but their own image and they don’t care who they use or who they hurt to maintain that image. It’s kinda disgusting. But they’ll say we’re somehow the ones harming marginalized communities because Stalin did a bad thing once 70 years ago or something.
Our cis straight folks here are generally at least pretty good about listening instead of tokenizing. It’s not even hard just…don’t post dumb opinions about groups you aren’t a part of. Pretty much job done. Libs can’t even do that.
I find it weird cuz it’s not like having shit politics means you can’t be trans, everyone seems to recognize this. I’m pretty confident Blair White ain’t faking it she’s just dumb as shit.
Post me in the subreddit

Lmao, it took me like a good thirty seconds to understand that while I was just going
Up until then I was looking at it like it was like some bear-site version of the “skibidi gyatt in Ohio fanum tax for the sigma rizzler” thing
Queer tank goes brrrr and it’s fabulous.
