I agree with you, actually. I totally see where she's coming from. But the line of thinking is bad not just from a moral standpoint but also a practical one. This wouldn't work. It would literally just make the people involved priority targets for bigots while being completely ineffective in anything more than the extremely short term, if even that.
Yeah, these are really hard questions. I don't really have any easy answers, I wish I did. But I do think that the ideas in this post are not an answer at all, especially from a practical standpoint.
I agree with you. One of the things about socialist systems is that they offer non-discriminatory assistance and job positions. If such a system would be implemented transgender people would gain more power, they would be able to battle the cultural hegemony better, which is what the real cause of transphobia is imo.
Even Parenti had not the best views on the queer community, but what changes his mind was the Stonewall riots, at least I remember him talking about it on stage.
But we need socialism. We just don't have the material resources needed to produce a counter-cultural movement and it certainly won't happen all on our own.
