I think for me what I found difficult was that you could tell who was progressive/leftist/social justice advocate pre transition and who offers it lip service post transition when it benefits their specific personal needs but defends the status quo still and I found myself unable to tolerate the second group.
As someone who would be categorised as the first group (I hope) I tried to educate and engage but after getting dogpilled by lib rage, ostracised for being a tankie, seeing the shittest takes time and time again and watching these people destroying groups that would benefit trans people irl I grew exhausted and left.
I think I mentioned it in one of my first comments on here which is why after seeing that same energy in blahaj.zone i came here.
That feeling of frustration and powerlessness even around your own peeps just feels so isolating.
yeah i remember one time where a girl came in and thanked me a lot, saying i changed her life by helping her with her meds and stuff and gave me a big hug. and then some time later she flew into a fit of rage and said she'd never come back to the lgbt center after learning i was a communist, and she never did. i was very bewildered at that. i did go out of the way and even got her an uber to her first HRT appointment and helped her schedule it, which is no big deal for me but i know its a big deal for a lot of people who are anxious to start HRT. she claims she was a socialist. sometimes wonder what shes up to ๐ค strange what propaganda can cook up in people's heads.
The anti-communism of the western left is at critical mass these days ๐ฎโ๐จ
it was a strange conversation. i kinda mentioned it offhand to someone (sometimes people say, wow youre so generous! when i offer to help them with something and i just shrug and say im a commie) and i guess they mentioned it to her. she then began asking me stuff about xinjiang very angrily and i just said that im not really here to get into debates with people, im just the trans resource lady and want to help out. then she stormed off as i said.
I used to get called Wolfie pre-transition because of the character from Citizen Smith ๐
I just quipped that I was too young to understand their boomer references.
Libs and their "comedy". Jokes on them I've reclaimed it now
We can only hope she realises that a Liberal system had her coming to a local community group for help in being her literal fucking self and that the "commie red fash tankie" lady was the person who helped her and paid for her to go to her appointment. Not the libs, not the soc dems but a based commie lady
yeah just a strange thing. hope shes doing ok
Well if you helped her access HRT then she's at least doing better than she was without it when you dealt with her so๐ค
