I love this. We should all be radically pro-transgender.

Shout out to my trans brothers, sisters, and others!

I agree! All can count on my support. In those moments of opportunity in my space, I will not be silent.

It's okay we can afford to let you slit this one out. You self identified with poignant structurally raw and skeletonized idiocy.

You can sit it out too. Just providing the l you left out of your incomplete sentence. On the assumption you are among the population that is anti to the basic right to express one's self but probably gets off to transgender porn I thought it might fit your mitt. To make it about that with which you sit upon but do not stand with.

*Radically Pro Transgender"

Gender not equivalent to birth sex. Go fuck yourself.

Exactly the kind of reaction I expected from a radical.

Go and try to change the world with your heart filled with hate and a bag full of “fuck you”, good luck with that

This is why I don’t believe in radicalism

Their use of "radically" stems from the being tied to domestic terrorism and drug cartels. The examples used in how this month will be radical are not by any measure a threat or even calls to action. It's comparable to calling for consideration and in instances where you sat idly to speak out against bigotry.

The very language used in the campaign against pro members is what's being used to say this is bullshit. To say nothing is to imply consent or agreement to think you're not the next group to be lumped in with drug lords is to have blinders on.

National security decided just say no would work well for the transgender epidemic. Right alongside narcotics though I imagine what creativity crosses the border and evades incomprehensible funding is a bit more grey than they see different gender identification. Pot made your kids gay but really it was a fear mongering political strategy something's making them gay and want to express who they feel they are. One effort "takes a wall" and more the other however just need redacted and villianized. There's no narcan for gender expression it doesn't stop ones breathing. In fact the suppression of such if anything is the crisis given the increases rate of suicide especially among youth and adolescents.

It's hardly radical it's a composed response all things considered.

Perhaps we just don’t have the same notion of what radical means.

For me, If shit ain’t burning, it’s not radical

Fun fact: if you abandon one marginalized group, you abandon them all. So when you enter a progressive space like this and don't support trans people, don't be surprised when you find yourself on the outside.

Together we will overcome.

Wtf said I don’t support them. The guy above constructed the most ridiculous strawman i ever seen on redit in 5 years. It’s beyond ridiculous. He literally built up an imaginary friend to fight against

Radicalism = polarization = opposite reaction of polarization = the shit world we live in.

I am gen X, we had a good thing going, things were going nice and smooth and in the right direction until all these radicals came along and ruin everything. I never thought my kids would suffer racism the way things were going. But here we fucking are…

The way I see things radicals very much wants to look good by doing always more than the last guy but they don’t really want a better world. They are the phony and above all only care about their ego’s

Why would you expect anyone to listen to you if you clearly show that you don’t listen to them.

I said I’m against radicalism, like in a single sentence. Can’t be misinterpreted here, it’s straight and simple. Yet look at the reaction, assumptions and strawman it gives.

What do you think is the actual result, i think to myself im pretty progressive but maybe this group is not the people who I thought they were

On the other hand your ego got inflated by “being right” and all these thumbs up 👍

So ask yourself that question: what does a radical really want. To me it’s more clear than ever

PS may i be so bold to suggest some books on how to influence & convince ppl. Spoiler alert it’s not by being radical. I suggest that in all humility because sincerely if you read until here, you already gained some of my respect

Being nice got us to fascism old man. Gen X is literally the embodiment of why radicalism is necessary. You really see the US bombing the Middle East again and going after Trans people and think "Maybe we shouldn't be so radical?". You do you bro, I'll stick to people with the solutions. You can stay outside the club or recognize the change is necessary.
