    “transgender ideology” is not a thing. That’s the type of shit transphobes pull out of their ass when they’re trying to attack trans folks

      I think transgender ideology is “we’re human”.

      It’s fucking wild that the Right can be opposed to human rights and anti-fascism and millions of people are somehow still gaslit in believing they’re the good guys.

        It’s this exact point for me. “Antifascist” is being taken at face value and simultaneously being tarred as antisocial rhetoric. What the actual fuck has gone on? If the belief that “antifascist” is a cover or a dogwhistle, then shouldn’t you attempt to separate their political orientation away from those words? “They aren’t antifascist. They are political dissidents claiming all of their political enemies are ‘fascists’.”

        Instead, we have: “No, they ARE antifascists and they are our enemies!” Why did we let them stigmatize the word “antifascist”?
