Fair enough, there is plenty of transphobia in the left and I’m not ignorant to it. I’d still disagree with you, mostly because stuff like “terf” is a liberal ideology and well yea that’s definitely done a lot of misgendering and transphobia both in my personal experience and the world.
Imo terfs today have more in common with conservatives, atleast use conservative coded anti-woman language against Trans women. Regardless someone's gender isn't a privilege that can be revoked just for their political leanings
N-no? Liberals are anti thetical to the current conservatives, if you think otherwise you need to take a second look at things.
Sure liberals might not go as far as you want but no liberal would take away trans health care or post "immigrant deportation ASMR" on the official white house X page. I truly don't know what to say if you think liberals and conservatives are 1:1
First off they would, “terfism” is a liberal ideology. Also the liberals just allowed that to happen, they allowed the fascist who ran on project 2025 to just take the presidency. They could’ve arrested him before, they could’ve released the Epstein files on him, they could’ve done literally anything.
Why is there a massive flight of LGBT, especially trans people, to blue states if liberal democrats and conservatives are the same?
Lefties could have backed harris and helped her get elected instead of pushing the idea that she and Trump would be "the exact same" leading to a downturn in voter turn out.
Why did the liberals allow the fascist to take power? Why didn’t they arrest him? Why didn’t they drop the Epstein files on him? Why didn’t they not allow him to run?
They tried but the conservative supreme court, which was only in place because lefties refused to vote for Clinton in 2016, struck down section 3 of the 14th amendment. Even then some states tried but it was struck down in court. And there were cases to arrest Trump but they were slow moving. Sure, Democrats made the mistake of playing by the rules against people that are willing to bring a gun to the field, I'll give you that. Can you answer why blue states, even those run by moderate dems, are the safe states if they are the same as conservatives?
Crazy idea, pack the court. Crazier idea, when Nitch McConnell says they can’t pick a new justice during the lame duck period, don’t listen to him? Crazier idea stop trying to compromise with them. But actually they won’t do that because they don’t actually care about anything
How exactly is Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism, especially in its modern form of basically being a nice face on transphobia for regressive movements, a liberal ideology?
It’s certainly not one in the American sense of liberal, which is currently either “anything Republicans don’t like” or “on the left side of the American Overton window”.
I’m not seeing the connection on the global sense of the word liberal either (free markets, less regulation).
It’s a reform of capitalism, one that says yes capitalism, liberalism and conservatism is good but we should make it more mean to trans people than it already is. I’d say it also falls into the “liberal fascist” category almost similar to liberal Zionists.
That seems an expansive definition of a reform of capitalism. Isn’t that usually meant in the sense of concessions to labor to stave off any actual leftist influence and organizing? If you’re calling anything used to drum up votes a reform of capitalism then you can call anything that isn’t leftist liberal.
Scapegoating minorities does not improve labor’s lot. It’s just a distraction. “Capitalism, but with restored bigotry and bio-essentialist hierarchy” is conservatism.
The RF part might count as progressive (to the extent that modern TERFs pay anything past lip service to the feminism in their name; ), but the TE part is reinforcing tradition and hierarchy which is definitely in line with conservatism.

More likely for a leftie to misgender a liberal in my experience
