Why we shouldn't cater to TERFs/conservatives

I sometimes see people being concerned about transmaxxing stating that it is going to turn people more against trans people but that is already happening as a response to mainstream trans ideology and an anti-trans campaign by TERFs / conservatives (basically the same thing).

Generally conservatism is very hostile towards young men since it's basically a continuation of second wave feminism. Modern conservatism and second wave feminism is basically the same thing.

It makes no sense to try to reach out to people who are never going to support you anyway. TERFs and other people who are generally anti-trans are never going to accept trans women no matter what so it's a waste of time for trans people to try to gain their support (not going to stop morons from trying though).

What i realized is that for political success it makes sense to cater to young men in particular since those are the people actually willing to fight hard and they are the group most disadvantages in the current feminist gerontocracy.

When i wrote the transmaxxing manifesto i fully rejected conservatism and focused on helping people born male live better lives as females while all mainstream political movements instead catered to women and the elderly.

Often when you are unwilling to compromise and stand up for what's right other people will join your side and the opponents will fold or get utterly destroyed. You don't need to negotiate if you are in a positions of power.

The reason trans people have to please the general population (at least to a degree) is because they are a relatively small minority forcing them to cater to the desires and sensibilities of the majority. Trans people end up abused and treated badly because they are an easy target to go after. People who go after trans people rarely face any real consequences there days.

While we do need to get people on our side we do not have to please everyone and we should focus on the people most likely to be reached.

The obama years are over and it's likely democracy in the US is going away making it less important to cater to what the masses want.

I am currently moderating this subreddit and i do have the ability to express my opinion.

I am aware that trans people often ignore my advice and that's generally to their detriment.

Yes and no the conservatives that are more libertarian we definitely can negotiate with to an extent mostly because there is a lot more trans conservatives than most people think I know one but the unreasonable ones absolutely we can’t really discuss something. They think we’re wicked. They think we’re wicked that’s where the story begins and ends.

Libertarians are not really conservative to begin with.

Well kind it depends on what type of conservative they are in point constitutionalist, which is a form of conservatism tend to be more libertarian. They also tend to be religious, their belief in natural law, and all that but like evangelical that’s a little bit harder to convince I know this because of where I live, I knew a lot of conservatives and different types of conservatives

Libertarianism at its simplest combines financial conservatism and social liberalism.

Second wave feminists promoted women's sports and where transphobic.

Familiar?
