For some reason, whenever someone gets weirdly aggressively provincial at me, like actually angry that I'm an American and saying that means I don't understand British stuff, they are a TERF One click to their timeline and there's always a transphobic tweet right up top

Such a strange, strange correlation It literally never fails It goes the other way too, like when I was trapped in a TERF hellthread and this lady first accuses me of "paedophilia" out of nowhere then snarks at me Americans can't spell that word

That is so bizarre. “You murder puppies and you wear white socks!”

Transphobia has at this point fully become a toxic British identity thing, like it's a specific feature of their right wing in particular they take pride in It's like Americans and gun rights

Dismissing your ideological opponents as all "Right Wing" despite evidence to the contrary is both intellectually lazy AND dishonest.

The evidence you are right wing is the ideology you profess

Such a limp try. You've overplayed your hand in so many areas, you're a tactical imbecile. Can't believe I have to say this, but if you attack the biological identity of *all people*, framing the backlash as rightwing only highlights how disingenuous you are. Keep going!

Biological essentialism is by its very nature reactionary/right-wing, and any honest and effective leftism, feminism, antiracism, etc. must be opposed to it

Nonsense. Dialectic and historical materialism is a core tenet of socialism & accepting that which is contrary to observable material reality is not left wing, it's intellectually dishonest & lends power to the ruling class to redefine reality as they wish.

Socialism rests on the premise that the class distinctions between human beings are created by human social and economic structures and can be overturned If this were not the case, there would be no socialist project

A belief in biologically essential categories is, by its very nature, antithetical to socialism It was, historically, the direct rebuttal to leftist views by 19th-century conservatives -- a belief that the upper and lower classes were of "different breeding"

There is no form of truly liberatory politics that can proceed from the assumption that biological categories are "real and immutable" "Race realism" is also just putting an extra syllable into "racism"
