    Aww you flatter me. I’m just a trans person that refuses to throw them under the bus and understands that we need troops anyway really. Everything I say is built on that foundation so my thought process leans in on personal experiences and really “getting” the hopeless lack of choice situation, I was homeless once and am lucky to be alive now.

    I might have upset our GS friend in our interactions but I don’t think it turns them away from continued struggle. I do think throwing trans people under the bus for doing this will make more trans people into contrapoints liberals and I do think failure to be strategic in our messaging with troops will result in never making inroads with them though.

    There’s probably no perfect solution here and we have to make a calculation we don’t want to make that is based on what we hope has the best material outcomes towards the goal.

      Hopefully not. The western left does not have a good track record in staying united.
