Bigger repo of theory / resources:
Books to check out:
“listen to x people” is always a stupid as fuck non-argument because there’s a wide diversity of opinions in any fucking group you can come up with
It is absolutely not a stupid as fuck opinion when it comes to theory and politics directly related to x people.
“Listen to trans people about trans liberation” is an obvious take. “Listen to women about women’s liberation” is an obvious take. “Listen to the workers of a union about what the those workers need” is an obvious take. “Listen to sex workers about sex work” is an obvious take.
This video is a response from a woman who has been talked down to and ignored when she tried to “be polite”.
you just take the one you agree with and tokenize them so that their mere existence is your argument
I am not tokenizing a woman for posting her own video articulating a very real problem in leftist circles, based on her lived experiences. This is sexist and demeaning.
It’s interesting that instead of actually discussing the concept, you are resorting to attacking how the idea is presented and that it doesn’t cater enough to SWERFs.
