@DeathAndTaxesAbolitionist "Who is pushing for discrimination on the basis of race, gender and sexual orientation [...]": You are describing the right wing, not "our side".

@DeathAndTaxesAbolitionist "That was Democrats that were all of those things.": We are (not all) democrats. Democrats are corporatist centrist. Many people in this comment section are neither corporate Democrats nor MAGA Republicans.

"i think it's a bit ironic that you're asking us to appeal to the humanity of right wingers": I think "ironic" is the wrong word, because as a woman Leeja is in no way on top of the human hierarchy. The question is: What else could we do other than ease / pave the way towards science and truth for right wingers? Leaving them alone doesn't help us, either, because they are in charge of politics and policy-making.

@MagicBus-ct7fe "just leave Texas": So instead of being given basic human rights, we should all just leave?

"a right through viability": What do you mean by that?

@MsPoliteRants "ignoring them" won't stop them from making policies based on their cherry-picked believes and imaginary friends.

@Jeebus-un6zz "Being moderate means being an adult- hearing out both sides completely and being able to argue both sides effectively before coming to your own conclusions.": That's not at all what moderates are like irl and arguing that everyone who disagrees with you or doesn't want to compromise their right to exist and have access to heathcare and privacy in a both-sides-fallacy way isn't an adult is a huge tell on yourself. The truth is: There are some kind of policies and rights where a middle ground just isn't possible and to force us to bow to our oppressors is ultimately lethal for us.

"I'm not legitimizing people who have lied for 500 years about their identity.": What? That's not even humanly possible, because no human has lived for that long? What are you talking about? Who is lying about what?

@feddyvonwigglestein3481 "I'm not legitimizing people who have lied for 500 years about their identity.": Have you not been paying attention to the latest h@te mürders of trans people all oer the west, let alone the entire world? This is trans people's reality.

@Софија-крафт "lmfao that didn't happen nice fanfic tho": Ironic, comming from you, an anonymous troll who doesn't even know what the word "fanfic" means. Sorry, but I trust the statistics on h@te crimes more than a priviledged keyboard warrior, who has obviously never experienced anything remotely comparable.

The question is: What is the alternative to talking to them?

It sucks, but it is our reality atm...

@jeffersonclippership2588 "Democrats after elections: [...] sorry" : Exactly. Democrats couldn't even be bothered to codify Roe v. Wade even when Obama had a supermajority. Probably because they wanted to continue to force women to vote for them in all future elections.

@johnirvine9942 "the reality is we’re not": That's not good enough. A lot of right wingers (including conservatives) also deny trans people their medical right to (fully reversible) puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy. Forcing trans people to go through the puberty that misaligns with their true gender identity harms people.
