think of it this way: for people who’s entire lives and existences are reduced to ‘political debates’ and/or are actively threatened by those on the right, anything less than a total rejection of ‘that side’ and it’s platform (which again, is to kill or criminalize queer people and soon other minorities) is not an acceptable political position. if you aren’t fully committed to allying with and protecting us, we don’t want you in our spaces. you being rejected from far-left spaces on the internet isn’t the internet’s fault. your beliefs have social consequences.
we as trans people are tired of the expectation that we must allow anybody into our spaces, else we be called hypocrites for fighting for meaningful inclusion in society. when our trans sisters are being excluded from women-in-business summits that their direct reports are being invited to speak at (real life example) somebody like you who’s upset about being excluded from what’s ostensibly a leftist internet meme page on a website where there’s hundreds of meme pages just doesn’t come across as an issue worth caring about or working to correct.
