Over the past several months Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur have taken increasingly transphobic stances, especially regarding trans women in sports but also more generally when it comes to trans youth getting access to gender affirming care.
They have begun to lash out at anyone that calls them out on where they are wrong and basically refused to learn. Recently Ana went so far as to defend Jesse Singal, who is very well known as a transphobe.
At this point I feel like we should have a bot that posts the “Social Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism” quote every time Cenk, Ana, or TYT gets mentioned
i would say calling them social democrats is generous. and that’s not a compliment to social democrats.
Anna and Chunk are proglibs, not leftists or even demsuccs anyway. And clearly, they’re too fucking self centered to actually listen to trans people.
Honestly they’re getting to the point where I’d say they aren’t even proglibs, just good ol’ regular libs.
Cenk has always been a reactionary this shouldn’t surprise anyone
How did any of these people hang on that long, TYT went downhill really fast after that Clinton staffer gave them a few million bucks.
Ana had a creaking Twitter submersible implosion after being called out on some utterly dog-brained statement about civil rights.
Wow, a non-ironic “people like you are hurting the trans movement” from an ally.
God how I hate allies, they come in and act as if their opinions are the only ones that matter, that to win our rights we need to appeal to the worst of them otherwise “nobody will like us.” If we call them out on their shit then they’ll act as if we’re hurting the cause because we need them so much more than they need us.
The oppressor doesn’t get to dictate the demands of the oppressed.
