This chat started with her sending me a bbc article claiming Labour wasnt anti trans like i was saying btw
Avatar
She so literally said she has a trans sister in law as some defense for being an asshole and explaining my oppression back to me and how its not that bad

"it's not that bad" they say, because from their perspective their thinly veiled platitudes are equal to actually doing something to help

She so badly wanted to believe just that cause thats probably the extent of her allyship

Do they not even listen to Starmer's words? Like, do they... think he's lying, but only about the things they want him to by lying about? Fucking bullshit

And not even his vibes, just... imagined vibes. Wishful vibes. Bizarre fandom behaviour. (Thanks @docphoenix.bsky.social for that framing!)

like, there's no point picking apart everything - but it's clear this person doesn't engage with things beyond just a headline?

Yes, literally yes. The centre left position is that he's only saying these things to get into power and then once he is ;) he'll go left. They don't really like it when I point out that means we both think he's a massive liar.

"people on boats dying" - christ that's low. How about the fucking trans teens (& not only teens) who are dying because they're denied adequate care - either I guess they don't count, or they're not as important as those poor bastards drowning in the channel. Fuck me

Tone policing AND whataboutism? That’s nearly the whole “ally” bingo card right there.

legitimately reform party behavior but they drink prosecco and have EU flag PFPs
