I think I’m reverting a bit into some misanthropic and nihilistic tendencies, but at this point I feel like I don’t even care about bad things happening to cis people. Everything feels worse for trans people, and I spend a lot of time helping other trans people with problems caused by shitty cis people. I genuinely think 90% of cis breeders hate their trans kids in some way and actively make their lives harder, even the lib ‘accepting’ ones. I’m like 60% of the way to thinking ‘yeah I’m gonna be a terrible slumlord for cis people so I can make trans people live better lives, I’ll house them for free by taking money from the cis by being an exploitative landlord’. I have the possibility of actually doing this. I doubt we’re having a revolution, so like… isn’t this an equalizer? There’s also the fact that trans people basically have no familial support, being a landlord exploiting cis people would mean we are forcing society to actually support those without it. I could see alternative arguments, like maybe if you have access to a lot of housing you could just make cheap housing for trans people and that would foster a whole community rather than having a lot of depressed cis people slaving away for a handful of homeless trans people, idk. You’d probably have to deal with anti-discrimination laws with that scheme, whereas giving housing away for free to trans people can be contractless.

Obviously I’m a communist through and through, but why should I care about others outside the community when many cis people clearly aren’t in the position materially to even begin to think about communism, let alone trans inclusive communism? Talking to them won’t work either when they see you as a freak from the start.

    I am subject to discrimination so I will become a slumlord and exploit poor people

    Like you realize the WASP nuclear family is probably the least likely demographic to be renting, right?

    Obviously I’m a communist through and through

    Obviously not

      I don’t care about cis people. Maybe some queers are ok, but the vast majority of people stand by and watch trans people suffer. I could see offering ‘nicer’ housing to attract white techbros though

        I get that you’re venting frustration, but this is reactionary af. None of us are free until all of us are free. And any liberation movement that refuses to be intersectional is not a liberation movement, it’s a supremacist movement. Like, do you want to make an Israel for trans people? Fuck everyone else, right?

        So you’re a communist that doesn’t care about class, race, gender, politics, etc? Just whether or not someone is cis? You should write a book, sounds like a new ideology
