I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, raped, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.
i find it oddly strange people from instances like .zip downvote this post @Sami@lemmy.zip , generally i think the zip stance is acceptable of people of all minorities (AFAIK? but Sami is an admin from .zip so… weird stance to take) which dbzer0 instance would be too then theres some oddities users one downvoted too @anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com some people here really in disguise “secretly” downvoting posts a fascist/bigot bootlicker would
Idk where you’re getting this but my client has no up or down vote on this and I don’t recall reading this post. I normally ignore flame war rage bait horseshit unless some turd ats me on some purity test witch hunt so congrats I’ve down voted it now.
You’re engaging in bad faith just like the post itself is doing.
im open to your critic but just calling it bad faith and not elaborating more on why you think so is also bad faith
Sure, framing it as mandatory wholesale support for x,y,z is disengenuous the same way it would be to call someone who is not vehemently against the United States as a concept in its entirety a bigot due to their current persecution of racial and LGBT minorities. Multiple things can be true at once but when you zero in on specific injustices that nearly the entire world exhibited just 2 decades ago and apply the same standard to people experiencing very different conditions (for example, people who have only known conflict for their entire lives and have not had the same opportunities that rich, safe countries have had) then it comes off as dishonest or at the very least just very myopic and ill informed. Should those injustices be criticized: yes. Are the people pointing out the perceived hypocracy doing it because they genuinely care about LGBT people impacted in those countries: no. I don’t agree with all perspectives expressed in the other direction but I understand why they exist when we exist in a space where certain people are painted with broad strokes while others are afforded infinite nuance in their positions.
fair points i may have misjudged you, my apologies
