      So am I. The republicans want to kill me. All of em. A few dems are willing to sacrifice me. Plenty aren’t. The parties aren’t the same and pretending they are does work for MAGA and makes you a MAGAt.

        Did you even read what I said? Why must we be dependent on governments to give us rights? Has begging the establishment ever worked for any queer liberation movement?

          Because unless you’re gonna overthrow the fuckin government you don’t get a choice. But if we all voted in every election for every progressive and stopped the fucking fascists from getting elected we’d get the fuckin rights we deserve but none of you acknowledge the fundamental reality that the options are work within the system to reform the system which is possible, we’ve seen the right wing do it in real time, or some fantasy revolution that magically doesn’t kill us all, so what the fuck are you talking about?

            Yes overthrow the government. I was eluding to just idk, trans mutual aid/healthcare instead of relying on the liberals to support us, the basic shit, but overthrowing the government is the end goal, yeah.

          Literally all civil rights were gained by operating within the system. Explain how burning everything down doesn’t just kill us all.

              Civil disobedience and protest is part of the system. That’s how the rights we have got put into law. That’s how it’s always worked here. It’s how the county was started. It’s literally the entire fucking concept of power to the people in this country ya nunpty fuck.

                The country was started by a literal revolution. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Slavery had to have an actual civil war take place to be abolished.
