Ganna try this again and hope it doesn't get downvoted by accounts that are textbook bots. If anyone want's to share it, cool, if you want to make your own posts on the subject, that would be even cooler, but this is what I posted:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------post start

While reading a thread in one of the trans subs speaking about one group of trans people hating another or blaming each other for the problems we face day to day, it's been pointed out a couple of times that it's absolutely not uncommon at all anymore for governments to use bot farms, to sow division in communities by creating tension that was never there before.

And I'm now seeing these posts being pushed into my feed; this one being flooded with comments that straight up look like they're made to psyop us in broad daylight; saying things that a trans positive therapist might say, but in fucking reverse. ie; "a trans person usually doesn't question if they're cis" But what scares me the most, is that when we notice this shit, they notice that we notice, and so they just try and refine their methods until we can't anymore as per usual...

I just really feel like everyone should be making sure each other is aware of this. It's scary and insane because it's been done regularly with other minority groups in the past, and the reason it's so effective is because of how many people are unaware of what's being done at the time....

Edit: And then they immediately come out and downvote the post lol. Please, if any other girls could spread the word about this shit, it could help save a lot of people; create your own posts, message your friends. Knowledge is what keeps us safe from this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------post end

And immediately, surprise, surprise, two accounts made within a week of each other in June, both started replying to and downvoting my post like it was their full time job lmao. I create a second post calling out the incredibly suspicious spam? Mod deletes the post lmfao.

So, I go to bed, get up this morning and notice that my original post is now locked as well with no reason provided whatsoever, but plenty of comments that make me look crazy, and suddenly the bots were being upvoted, with me getting downvoted to oblivion. Just totally random, right? :) It couldn't have possibly been that people were starting to see what I was talking about; getting a discussion going. How do we refer to people/organizations who are afraid of knowledge, again? Who is scared of knowledge and discussion? Who burns books and bans gatherings?

Hell, I WISH I was wrong. I wish that our problems were our own to work on and get through, but they're not because they're constantly being artificially inflated if not just being created outright by actors who wish to do us harm. All powered by an ignorance driven hatred and bigotry of others; paid for by the mega wealthy, and we're constantly being marginalized by it.

Anyway, I don't want to keep spamming this myself, so please, anyone that can make their own posts, or share this knowledge within any other trans/lgbtq group you're apart of, do so. Save a friend.

Real edit: grammar/phrasing.

Real Edit 2: I guess none of this fits or is relevant to the ftm sub? Idk how, but If anyone could enlighten me as to why, then I can avoid posting such things on other subs in the future. If not, then it's full steam ahead lmao.

J.K. Rowling posted an upskirting photo of a trans woman to her 13.7 million followers in retaliation for said woman refusing to unblock her on Twitter. In response, Gina Martin — lead campaigner behind the UK's 2019 upskirting laws — came out in support of Rowling's victim, Freda Wallace.

Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this, please delete if so.

I work for a mid-sized company of about 200 people. One of my coworkers has expressed religious sentiments and told me I look "like just a female with a beard". This coworker was someone I didn't see very often because she worked an opposite schedule to me. I liked her as a person, which is probably some moral failing on my part, so I didn't report her because I didn't want her to get in trouble. We didn't see each other much so it didn't matter all that much... Then she got promoted to my manager (10 months later). I am now fighting with HR to NOT have her as my manager. It feels like a pretty simple request, let me have my old manager and if they want her to manage the rest of the assistants (there are two of them) then so be. The female with a beard comment is only one thing she has done, I gave HR a 27 page packet on all the eggregious things I have any sort of proof of.

On top of that I have a coworker who used a Harry Potter theme in the work chat last week. I respectfully asked him if he could not, because you know trans genocide. He told me he doesn't care about any of that, he didn't care if it was insensitive, he just likes Harry Potter and that he would maybe consider that next time. Today he has made the chat Harry Potter themed again. This coworker is really, really good friends with my current manager. This should have told me all I need to know. I've felt that the Harry Potter coworker has gone out of his way to irritate me with little things before on purpose, because he finds it fun, but that's not something I can really prove.

It's getting really hard for me to go to work without feeling bullied by the both of them. Thankfully they only work on Wednesdays most weeks so I only have to see them one day a week. I don't know what to do or what recourse I have other than just screaming into the void or finding another job (which I am desperately trying to do).

Anyone got any advice or words of encouragement? Cause I could use both.

Edit, Update: I renamed the chat and The Harry Potter Coworker removed me from the chat and changed it back. I have to be in the chat for job functionality.

Edit, Update 2: I was told HP coworker left so I changed the chat name and picture. About 20 minutes after I did he changed the name and picture back to something Harry Potter related again.

Edit, Update 3: Meeting with HR went poorly. I am not going to leave the full update up for fear of someone recognizing the details and such...

That being said I am currently looking into legal options because this is some straight up BS.

the supreme court decision allowing discrimination against trans people (in sports and elsewhere) today is not about equality, safety, or science. it's about telling you who you are. it's about reinforcing transphobia, sexism, and bigotry. it's about maintaining lies about gender and science. it's about dividing us. it's about keeping us all - trans and cis alike - poor, desperate, and afraid.

if they cared about equality in sports, they would be focused on the vast gap between rich and poor in sports. they would address the prohibitive fees, the equipment costs, the barriers to training that comes with being too poor to access trainers, facilities, food and nutrition, and healthcare. 

if they cared about equality in sports, they would end the wage gap between women's and men's sports.

if they cared about equality in sports, they wouldn't gender sports to begin with. this supreme court decision just tells everyone that women are weaker than men. that it's not down to individuals, but to gender or sex. 

if they cared about equality in sports, they would have to admit that they have spent decades claiming the only paths out of poverty for Black people are the highly exclusive, exploitative, dangerous, and abusive entertainment and sports industries. that the few poor people who gain fame and fortune through athletics are being used by rich (mostly white) people.

if they cared about equality in sports, they would address the deep racism still present even decades after integration. they would address the fact that some players may make big salaries compared to most, but the owners of the teams are billionaires who live in luxury while the players die in medical debt. 

if they cared about equality in sports, they would let communities own the sports teams.

if they cared about being scientifically accurate, they would be forced to acknowledge that intersex people exist. they would be forced to acknowledge the long history of forcibly and surgically altering babies' bodies. they would be forced to acknowledge that sex in human beings is not binary no matter which metric you choose - genitalia, reproductive organs, chromosomes, outward appearance, or any other measure. it's never binary. it never has been. 

if they cared about women's safety in sports, they would address the rampant sexual harassment and assault that has occurred there. if they cared about women's safety in sports, they would address the frequency of eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and abuse in sports. if they cared about women's safety, everyone named in the epstein files would be in jail right now. if they cared about women's safety, we'd not have had multiple rapists as president over the last few decades. if they cared about women's safety, they would be focusing on cops and priests, not trans people. if they cared about safety in sports, they would do more to reduce the horrific damage done to human bodies in football, wrestling, boxing, hockey, and other contact sports. 

what they care about is telling you to hate trans people, so that you're willing to give up on your right to be yourself. so that you throw women under the bus. so that you spend your time hating trans people and not organizing against the rich who are exploiting you. to make trans people desperate and afraid and willing to work for nothing, driving everyone's wages down. to get one step closer to completely criminalizing being trans, so we'll end up in gendered prisons where we're targeted for violence. and the next thing you know, women won't be able to wear pants, have bank accounts, or work jobs (rich) men deem too "dangerous" for them. 

the only response to this is to fight back. to tell anyone who thinks this a good thing exactly why it's bad for them. to stand up for trans people and for yourselves. to get organized. to make your community organization, union, or workplace speak out. to unite with everyone else under attack by this fascist regime. there's nowhere to run. we have to fight.

This comment got me banned from both r/. Communism and Communism101. They insist that both gender and the idea of being trans will be abolished under communism. I think that's very reductive and erases a lot of people's experience. Even if the concept of gender was essentially done away with we would still likely have some sense of social roles and categories that people fit themselves into regardless of their physical form. Even in pre-colonial, indigenous societies that didn't split gender along lines of sexual dimorphism, they still had masculine and feminine roles that people assigned themselves to, there's still a sense of different kinds of people doing different things, regardless of whether it's attached to your sex or not. I think it's silly to believe that a communist society would completely do away with culture and social roles of any kind and just be a "everyone does everything all the time" situation. Whether there's a monetary incentive or not, people will still form groups based on shared interest and perspective, unless we're doing away with personal perspective as well? The whole thing feels kinda transphobic, like they're saying "you don't matter because you're not gonna exist anyway." Regardless of a society's gender roles, people will still share experiences based on their primary sex hormones and create categories along those lines to some degree. It feels silly to imagine a perfect future is one where everyone is some sort of androgynous bisexual with no concept of gender.

I'm writing this as a trans (genderfluid) individual.

We've desegregated every other space in society. Men and women used to have separate reading rooms at the library, separate train cars, separate schools, etc. Every single time, people clutched their pearls and thought integration would end badly.

Turns out people of all genders have pooped right next to each other for most of human history. And that 99.99% of society is fully capable of adapting and treating each other with basic respect in shared spaces.

This problem is only going to get more untenable as the trans community, non-binary community, genderfluid community, 2 spirit community, intersex community, and other gender non-conforming communities continue to gain rights.

I don't care if it's unpopular to say at the moment. We need to desegregate bathrooms.

I just want to ask everyone here their personal perspectives on the types of communist theory or socialist theory that they personally believe would be most relevant and effective in a modern society. I personally believe as a person who has studied Marxism, Classical Marxism, Leninism and Marxist-Leninist theories, and finally Council Communism that the last of these theories would be the most effective.

Council Communism calls for decentralization of the state, no vanguard party in charge of leadership and the respective establishment of councils at local, state and national levels of government for the development of plans and actions to uphold the interests of the proletariat.

Now thats not to say the other forms of communism/socialism arent viable, but they arent favored in my respective view compared to Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht’s theory. (For reference, this theory has been around since the mid to late 1910’s in Germany and a revolution from it started from 1919-1920 that later failed due to the loss of leadership and party cohesion.)

My second theory i believe could be viable is something of my own making from personal study and review of all theories, a “Federalized Council System” to which councils are connected through federations. And that there would be coordination between recallable delegates to the respective councils rather than a strict party elite like Leninism proposes. I would say that this theory also is more of an evolutionary leap of early soviets (Councils) before the consolidation of the government.

I apologize for the long explanations and the discussion of my personal theories, but i felt like getting these on the table would be a great discussion point for everyone!

Like more and more we are force to listen to the BS they talk, you can notice that they stop using DEI. Instead, they are using "Transgender" to mock trans people. Like forget any trans slur but this is the next MAGA slur they are using. The one they can get away with.

They been using it like how white racist call black people, "Blacks." The recent insult at James Talarico. A man not even transgender. Like my theory adds up. Another is any mass shooter. First thing they always say is that if their "transgender." Just replace it with Black and it's the exact same messaging.

Anyways, I like to hear other people opinions about it. I do want to know your come back to say to fight against hate on the trans community.

i don't know if my eyes will ever recover from how hard i am rolling them seeing lgbtq media act like the democrats tweeting at stephen miller and calling him ugly is actual fightback against his transphobia. it's pathetic, bears no weight, and means nothing in the face of their lack of fight against or support of transphobic laws, to say nothing of their support for the imperialist war machine.

insulting someone's looks is at best worthless and at worst an attack from the right. fuck them for such a lazy, toothless response.

This is a simple post. We have the same old enemies as always:

1. Military-Industrial Complex - Propagandizes the working class and most vulnerable to kill and maim other working class and most vulnerable for the interests of Oligarchs, Multinational Business Lobbies, Powerful & Predatory Industries/Tycoons, and the general Corporatocracy.

2. Fossil Fuel Industry - Incredibly linked to not just right-wing politics in the U.S. but globally. Had their own scientists in the 1950's & 1960's start warning about climate problems and the information was hidden so that Renewable Energy/Electrification Technology would not harm their interests. Hired some of the same individuals and organizations involved with the old Tobacco companies campaign around "Alternative Science/Facts & Messaging". Extremely dishonest predatory bad actors. Also at this point in the climate crisis and overall environmental crisis it's equal to a death cult.

3. Oligarchs, Multinational Business Lobbies, Powerful & Predatory Industries/Tycoons, and the general Corporatocracy - Always trying to crush the Labour Movement. The vehicle in which the working class and most vulnerable have got so many of the rights and benefits they enjoy today. Always involved in massive corruption against Organized Labour domestically and internationally.

People wonder what they can do - GET INVOLVED & GET ACTIVE!.

Link up with the Labour Movement (Unions, Federation of Labours, Labour Councils, and so on). Be part of fighting for the next era of workers rights/benefits!

Link up the with Environmentalist Movement - Be involved with Renewable Energy/Electrification awareness/education building! This is one of the best ways to weaken the Fossil Fuel Industry and by extension right-wing politics. Be involved with conservation projects. Be involved with environmental justice projects. Right now we have world record wildfires around the planet each year. We have ocean warming and ocean acidification so bad that coral bleaching is wiping it all out (Destroying the life of our oceans is very very bad). We are currently in the Holocene Extinction which is the sixth mass extinction in this whole planets history and this time humanity is the asteroid. We are seeing Wet-Bulb Temperatures in South Asian and other horrific hell on earth shit. The climate crisis and overall environmental crisis is going to massively worsen the affordability of life crisis/quality of life crisis of the working class and most vulnerable. This one is extremely time sensitive to avoid the worst of the worst!

Link up with the Peace Movement & Alter-Globalization Movement to combat the propaganda of the War Machine and Baseless Hatred of "Other".

GET INVOLVED & GET ACTIVE!!!!

*I'll be posting this on a few of the subreddits I enjoy to get the word out for those that may be just scrolling through. I know most actual leftists are well aware of the importance of grassroots action because it has brought us everything in the Labour Movement, Environmentalist Movement, Women's Rights Movement, LGBTQ+ Rights Movement, Civil Rights Movement, Peace Movement, Alter-Globalization Movement, and so on.*

Shout out to all those unsung hero activists. They are the reason things got brighter and better and they are right now holding back a lot of dark & dystopian shit.

I recently had a debate with someone arguing that Trump and the current admin are not Nazi’s. Their argument was,”They’re not Nazis, they are not Neo-Nazis”, so I need to just shout some things for a bit because that bit of dumbassery pissed me off.

Whether you call someone a Neo-Nazi or a Nazi…it means the same thing. The terms are literally joined at the hip. Neo when translated means “new”, and New Nazis are still Nazis.

You cannot hide behind linguistics here, if you don’t want to call them Nazis fine, fascist works too, but don’t use what is essentially the linguistic equivalent of Cardboard armor.

I am the Grandchild of someone who survived the ORIGINAL Nazis…I KNOW A FUCKING NAZI WHEN I SEE ONE!!!Half the people I see saying this bullshit are the same people who will argue over whether water is blue or that climate change isn’t real.

God people are fucking stupid.

If Cisgender, White, Straight, Male, etc. people spent less time being afraid of Minorities or Social Justice movements and more time actually trying to understand their views, this world would be a much better place.

I encountered this with Feminism recently, a lot of men(and even a portion of Women funny enough)don’t seem to actually understand what Feminism is. It’s not a movement that hates men or thinks their useless, it’s meant to show that Women should have all the same privileges and rights that a man has, such as bodily autonomy, right to equal pay, the right to not be overly or unfairly taxed for being a women, the right to wear what they please, etc.

And Homophobia, a lot of people think Homophobia just means saying slurs or beating people up…or even killing them, and those things are homophobic, but there are little things people do that are also Homophobic. For example phrases like,”No one is born Gay”,spreads the idea that Gayness is something which can be acquired like a virus. You may not be Homophobic through and through, but you can still BE Homophobic.

Being Trans…a lot of people(particularly under the age of 30 or over the age of 50)seem to think that Transgender people just dress up like girls and do nothing else.

We don’t, Hormones, while not dangerous, change almost everything about how your body functions, they can even change how much Grey matter is in your brain, the way you view other genders, how many colors your brain can perceive, and how often you need to use the bathroom in a day. We don’t try to invade Women’s spaces we simply want to experience them because they are where we feel comfortable.

Trans people are statistically less likely to commit violence, and are statistically more likely to be raped, murdered or beaten than Cis people are.

If the rest of Society actually listened to people like us for more than just to respond, the world might be a more tolerant place.

I know the term 'pink-washing' is used to describe what's happening here.

These people pretend to be doing good stuff, but they are doing bad stuff.
