    I’m opposed to the Biden administration’s restrictions on trans healthcare.

    What’s your position on the CCP’s genocide of Uyghurs?

        When you’re forcibly disappeared to a “reeducation camp,” I know you’ll be as open-minded as you are now and assert to all the other trans people packed into your boxcar that there’s not really enough evidence to classify it as genocide.

            I know your looooove to be a victim but it’s not my fantasy. It’s just where the US could easily be headed.

            And I’m definitely not a liberal.

            And do you really need me to pop “Uyghur genocide” into a search engine for you? sigh

            Ok, he’s a fun starting point: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China&diffonly=true

            It’s the Wikipedia entry for it, and it has 577 sources.

                So your going to laugh off that place where accumulated knowledge ends up, specifically for an article with 577 sources? You don’t want to read it first? Dispute the claims it makes one at a time? Check out just a couple of the 577 sources? That’s 577 more than you’ve provided, btw.

                And if I’d linked directly to the sources, what would you have said? “That’s just propaganda!” That’s the one I hear the most from tankies. If an article fits your narrative, even if/especially if it’s from State-run news in China, it’s gospel. Anything else, even if it’s corroborated by different journalists and agencies around the world? Western propoganda!

                I wonder if you’d give a shit about trans genocide if you weren’t trans.

                    Jesus Christ, the fucking dissonance. 1 day ago you repeated the the DS9 “nothing justifies genocide” meme. And here you are, simping for fascists because… well why? It’s trendy? It makes you feel important? To differentiate yourself from the status quo? Whatever little shot of superiority dopamine you get from toeing a line that you don’t understand can’t be worth the denial of human rights for an entire people.

                    I know nothing I say makes a difference to you. You’ve dug in. It’s part of your identify and you’re scared to lose or evolve it. Maybe you wouldn’t feel special anymore, I dunno, who cares.

                    For anyone else reading this, don’t be them. Don’t get brainwashed to the point where genocide isn’t genocide and the only issues that matter are the ones that affect you personally. Look at their comment history. Look at this conversation. This is not a happy or confident person.

                    Be better.
