What’s with the title? Is there something wrong with fully transitioning?
Edit: I made this comment unsure about something, and i have been corrected about it. I’m leaving this up because I made a mistake and said something that was wrong, and I will not cover it up. My apologies go to Kristina and any trans women that may have been made uncomfortable by my comments.
more like: vast majority of trans people dont get to get it for a long time which pushes them into a constant state of suffering for years or decades. she then makes apologia for the people that caused this because she’s rich and is incapable of understanding what other people went through
something like 70-80% of trans people want surgeries but only around 10-20% currently have them, based on medical surveys
Out of curiosity, how rich is she? Is it like chapo where they have a somewhat high income in NYC? Or is she really rolling in it?
Based on https://graphtreon.com, she seems to be in the 40-70k per month range.
I know most trans people can’t afford them. You decided to through around stuff about her gender identity when it’s irrelevant to her being a shitlib. Her getting surgeries has less to do with this take than it has to do with white privilege.
im gonna explain this briefly for the cisfolks in the audience. every socialist trans person who frequents irl trans communities will eventually encounter this phenomena. trans people who get surgeries quickly do not have the same material conditions as those without. this has less to do with white privilege (though there is an intersectional component) and more to do with material wealth. trans people without surgeries have many legal and social barriers to employment, legal gender change, and so on. this leads to discrimination. since contra has been rich for some time, she was able to avoid almost all in-person discrimination. she works via video chat, which means she is self employed and has never properly had to deal with anything truly terrible happening, such as long bouts of unemployment which drain surgery funds. this means she has avoided radicalization and instead wants to protect her income stream.
roughly 90% of the trans people I have talked to in person are hardcore socialists, and i talked to them in non-socialist spaces. the socdem backsliding contra exhibits is based on her material conditions of not dealing with discrimination in person regularly. as an aside: the 10% of trans people that i talked to that weren’t socialists were evenly divided between liberals, libertarians, and fascists. they all got their surgeries very quickly.
