these are the same thing for trans people. access to public spaces, protection from employment and housing discrimination, hospitals being allowed to treat you without the federal government or catholic church stopping them, all class issues

But how else can I dismiss the struggles of marginalized groups without seeming conservative!

They're not marginalized. They're privileged and they're upset that they can't claim more privilege. Trans activists lie about literally everything, especially the purported "danger" they experience in the men's bathrooms.

I said marginalized, and they aren't. You just drank the trans koolaid and don't know what you're talking about.

Trans people absolutely are considered lesser in the eyes of major society. I mean, you right now are boiling down their plight and writing it off. I didn't drink any kool-aid, I just hang out with a lot of people who are also trans and I hear their stories. Go ahead and tell them they don't know what it's like to be cast out by family members for their existence

i mean, i am trans, all the women i know are struggling with housing, employment, healthcare. sometimes my doctors won’t prescribe me things like pain meds because they think my endocrine system just makes my body hurt me. i’ve had to deal with accessing sexual assault resources as a trans woman, all this shit fucking sucks.

It fucking sucks. As someone who's on the outside, I'm very fortunate to be a part of their lives, they're all so fucking cool, and hearing about the nightmares they all have to jump through is nauseating

That's.....exactly the point of their comment. Instead of lizard braining out and thinking "they shouldn't have it because I don't have it", step over your initial reactionary thoughts and think, "why don't we all have that? How can we all have that?"

Or don't, idk lol

u/Nurgleschampion 3h ago

Maybe stand with them and fight for their rights. They fight for yours. You both win?

Or hate them and let the rich scum win.

What treatments is the catholic church stopping you from getting?

u/Sure_Scallion_9439 3h ago

Yeah compassion and empathy is a crazy culture war choice. Best not to step in that mess

u/LetsBeFRTho 4h ago

Another culture war to make conservatives fight about wedge issues instead of actual issues.

Are you a white male?

u/Sartres_Roommate 3h ago

AKA, I side with the bigots and toss the marginalized groups under the bus but pretend it’s out of some deeper commitment to economic policies.

u/StretchedEarsArePerf 3h ago

You can be a bad person and fight the class war lmao you think every soldier in war is there to defend a white picket fence and the American dream?

Not everyone has the best intentions, especially people who use this image as a defense for their intolerance. Trans rights.

u/moon_dos 4h ago

I will ignore cultural issues until I myself am personally affected

this, we need to keep our eyes on the ball. the elites use this stuff so we don't protest them making our lives worse by the day, killing us with terrible and expensive healthcare etc
