    No, this is the democratic far left wishlist, which I think is core lemmy. Good luck getting it done. Once you step over that line, you may want to find another instance.

          Don’t bother with this whoreticulture account, they are just on here to pretend to be trans and then they behave like an ass to try to get people to dislike trans people or something. I know it’s stupid, but you can take a look at their account history to see what they are doing. It’s no wonder it’s a new account, I imagine they are doing this a lot. I’m working on a little script that just auto-warns people about them.

              I’m not mad. I haven’t called you any childish names, or did anything else that would indicate anger. That would be you and you alone, and unless you go and start editing your posts anyone can clearly see that.

                I’m gonna be real, looking through your account, you seem like a bioessentialist. Potentially a terf, though one that hides it well.

                Some of the things you’ve said are rooted in bioessentialism and come off as very backhanded which I’m assuming set off the other commenter’s alarm bells. Quit the act or educate yourself from a trans positive feminist angle, whichever fits your role better.

                for anyone that happens to read this and feels lost, here is a good place to start with what bioessentialism is and why it’s linked to terfs.

                  Thanks, I see the article now. It must have been part of the edit, so I missed it before. I appreciate you taking the time to make the link.

                  I have nothing against trans people, I’ve said nothing against trans people. I didn’t know of this term “bioessentialism,” but thanks to you, I’ve just looked it up. It does not describe my views. I am 100% aware of the concept of people being genetically one way while having a different gender. There is nothing wrong with this at all. I have never said anything remotely like that.

                  This other commenter is not serious. They are pretending to be trans in order to make them look bad. I don’t know why they are so hateful, but at this point, there really is no other explanation. There is no reason they would be so awful to someone trying to learn.

                TERF isn’t name calling, it’s a description of your beliefs. the fact that you see it as such shows me you are one, terfs are the only ppl who refer to “terf” as a slur

                  I literally never heard of this term until you started blasting it over and over. I had no idea. I looked them up because you kept calling me them so much. If you are not intentionally trying to get them exposure, then you are sorely missing your mark. Thanks to YOU, I am aware of them. 100% die to you. That’s the effect you are having. It is absurd to act like I’m one of them.

                  If you are not extremely anti-trans then you have gotten so twisted up in a truly remarkable way. I highly highly doubt that.

                  No, it is a description of the beliefs that you seem to think every cis person has to have. This is because you seem to want to lump all cis people(which you repeatedly call for the demise of - to the point of mods needing to repeatedly removing your bigotted comments) into this category. Or at least the BS persona you are pretending to be “believes”.

            According to the upvotes (which isn’t totally accurate since I upvoted from Midwest.social, but all the true leftists and maybe the far right instances have been defederated), it’s about a 70/30% split of people who agree with these democratic far left ideas.

        Capitalism has really done a number on these poor Americans, the right wing have managed to push the compass so far in their favour that even a lot of the most basic items in this list are considered “far left” to them.

        One prime example of the extremes of propaganda within the US has to be the mass opposition towards unions (which has thankfully began to ease in recent years.) I could never comprehend why so many people would argue against having a union to protect their own rights as workers. it was bizarre to me.

        No offence to any Americans that read this. But I’ve done my fair share of arguing for you over the years, and some of the opposition I have come up against is just completely bewildering. Almost like some sort of capitalist Stockholm syndrome.

          capitalist Stockholm syndrome.

          That infused with the idea that anything that isn’t capitalism is socialism (which might as well be communism). It’s like we’re afraid to leave our abusive financial system.

            You are, and that’s by design, as the core of your country from the education right down to the media and pop culture, all revolve around the financial system, designed to keep the wealth in the pockets of the few while everyone else argues over the same pointless and divisive issues that are pushed every single day. It happens in most countries, but the US is the best example due to how transparent it all is.
