(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

Jesus Christ.
Trans are less than 1% of the population, and as a brown person, we can't hide what we are, even for a second.
But yeah, please tell me how trans is literally worse than the holocaust and slavery.
Btw, do you think civil rights would have gone better or worse if someone more closely aligned with Hitler gained power before WW2?
And that makes protecting their rights unimportant?
Did I say that, or did you imagine that I did?
I assume you're saying this because you believe that Democrats advocating for trans rights cost them the election, giving it to Trump. The only way you could have come to this conclusion is if you heard it from some talking head and believed it without critical thought because it feels right to you. The thing is, it's just completely false. The Democrats' advocacy for trans rights has been lukewarm at best and overtly hostile at worst. Most of them have the same mindset as you, where they prefer to retreat from difficult topics like trans rights, ceding the narrative to conservatives while failing to create any consistent narrative of their own. That's what cost them the election.
