read the full transcript of the "Are trans lesbians bourgeois?" talk and it's so fucking bad, I can't even criticize it in a bluesky thread it would have to be a full blog post tearing it apart from the seams. it's basically a mix of TERF ideology with AGP/HSTS crap, sweetened with some crazy racism

If anything, trans lesbians are probably more likely to be working class due to all the discrimination they face. This just smacks of 'socialism means more free stuff for me and also the right to laugh at anyone I hate', which seems to be most socialism I run into.

I was confused because I read that as Accelerated Graphics Port/HTTPS Strict Transport Security and I think I'm happier that way.

he literally refers to Black and Latina trans women with the blanket term "street queen," it is actually transmisogynistic racism on the level of calling Michelle Obama transgender like what the fuck

I hate to credit these things but I wanted to google the talk and I noticed that the fucking ai is literally more woke than the “marxist” gender studies experts 😭

the person who wrote that talk clearly does not believe trans women are anything other than either feminine gay men or fetishistic crossdressing men. it's repulsive, it should make you vomit, this person should be protested out of any future talks on gender. what the fuck.

the irony of this all being framed as a material lens, when it was entirely based on aesthetics, stereotypes, and denials of material reality is not lost to me either. the material reality of white trans women (and men!) includes many people on the precipice of homelessness and death on the streets.
