mArXiSm is another fear mongering dogwhistle.

They say cUlTuRaL mArxIsM.

I say, “who cares?” and, “deal with it!”

Because the truth is that anything their political faction doesn’t like is written off as cOmMuNiSm and mArXiSm.

The modern definition of cOmMuNiSm and mArXiSm is literally, “something I don’t like.”

I agree conservatives are stupid with their Marxism fear mongering.

Unfortunately I also believe they are going to win big in 2022 and 2024 in large part due to pushback against the trans community.

As a straight dude in my 30s I feel like it’s honestly just too much to keep up with. So many new made up words that I don’t understand what they mean but apparently I’m offending people or being hateful by not using them?

Live your life however you want, just
don’t expect everyone else to participate and memorize the 500 new genders that get discovered each year.

I can see it happening, people are getting real tired of cancel culture.

It must be so hard for people having to correct themselves with that darn-fangled new gender pronoun he.

I’ve never met a single person who has expected the cishet population to memorize all the neopronouns.

It’s not asking too much to ask someone to use different pronouns.

When I met someone with Ze Hir Hir pronouns I had to ask a few times for it to be repeated and spelled so I could understand it and no one gave me crap about it.

This is another right wing exaggeration and fear mongering technique.

I don’t mind calling anyone whatever they want to be called, and I don’t think most people have an issue with this.

Like yeah if you clearly look like a dude you are probably going to get called a dude constantly, but if someone asks politely to be called something different sure, I’ll play along if it makes that person’s day better, why not?

That’s not really the stuff I was talking about when I said you are going to lose the election due to pushback.

Also, I’m as far from right wing as you can get. I voted straight blue ticket.

And the reality is even if people mess up sometimes trans and non-binary folks are not typically going to get angry or anything. Keep in mind we get murdered just for being trans. Do you think we’re going to make a big deal with someone who might become enraged?

Every time I think about correcting pronouns I question, “is it safe to be out with this person?”

While you say most people don’t have an issue, there are many who get super offended at the idea of us even existing.

It’s a damn social movement, nobody that helped create it owns what someone’s preferred economical ideology is lol, it’s quite a hilarious take and it really speaks for how far some people will reach to justify hating on the movement.

Good, keep doing that.

Face to face, I think most people feel this way. It’s just the polite thing to do.

Thank you for telling me. I would have never considered that an option.

This goes for most minority groups. Those folks typically don’t really get upset. Usually, It’s people that are not part of those groups that feel they need to be offended on behalf of those groups.

I’m just sayin, my personal feeling is that the trans movement is gonna give us Trump / DeSantis in 2024 due to how relentless you guys have been in pushing for rights that in some cases seem privileged.

Not really referring to pronouns, like I said, I’m happy to call people whatever they want if they ask politely.

I’d anything gives them 2022/2024 it’s their passing bills to reduce voting rights of minorities, young people, and the disabled.

It’s a bit yuck to already start scapegoating trans people as the reason for future democrat losses.

We need to blame the 8 year old trans girls for wanting to play in sports and trying to get puberty blockers so they can delay puberty and have more time to make a choice and not have to have as many traumatic surgeries when they’re older.

They’re totally killing our democracy not the old guys trying to strip voting rights.
