  • this series of video essays (“the state is counter revolutionary”) makes a lot of good arguments against authoritarian leftism and states, towards why they are not a path to communism but a hurdle. i doubt someone who has already fallen into the trap of authoritarianism will watch these videos with an open mind but maybe you could watch them urself and integrate some of the arguments into your intervention.

    tankies think that whatever states they simp for are better than the US, because they wont admit any of the flaws of these states in the first place. their entire narrative is that the flaws of these states are made up as anti-communist red scare propaganda. so they are very good at rationalising any arguments against them.

    i do not know how to convince tankies, but its great that you are trying :)

    i’d aregue the larger part is the system that alienates people from nature, society and the production of goods.

    i do see the historic need for it though, in a patriarchal society, where non cis men are disempowered and objectified.

    i hope with feminism de we will more and more move away from gender being socially relevant

    yeah, straight and gay are such restrictive concepts, i have trouble imagining that anyone actually fits them for any other reason than social pressure.

    especially with gender liberation and people looking however they want, gender based atraction is such a weird concept…

    biology is full of social constructs. reality is complex and messy, but to wrap their heads around it, humans put it into simple categories.

    the destinction into male and female (and sometimes intersex) was creared backwards. first came the social destinctions and social importans on sex, then people searched for the reasons, to explain the destinctions.

    through this they currently arrived at the definition of sex as biological organisms producing smaller or larger gametes. as if this were actually a super sensual to classify all organisms that produce larger gametes and all organisms that produce smaller gametes in the same categories respecrively. but fair enough.

    but then anything that causes an organism to produce smaller or larger gamets is considered sex determening. and all caused or just correlated to this is also considered part of the sex, including social factors. so production of larger gametes in humans is cause by xx chromosomes, so all humans with those chromosomes are female, even if they dont produce gametes, and everything caused by the xx chromosomes like homrones and phenotypes produced by those is considered female and even certain attributes pushed majority on people categorized as such are considered part of it. but none of that is a must. people with xx chromosomes dont necessairily produce larger gametes, they dont necessairily have the hormones, they dont necessairily develop the phenotypes, they arent necessairily shaped by the same way by the same social system. and yet we categorise them as the same sex and categorize their attributes as wrong. this shit is social

  • i think the post wasnt about people claiming that trans people need to take hrt or they will die, but that supressing both estrogen and testosterone has dangerous health effects. that is not trans medicalism but at worst an exaggeration of the importance of e/t on the human body.

    i know that average humans make it a while without much of either, during prepuberty and post menopause, so ig its probably not deadly(?) but i know that there are negative health effects like osteoporosis, low energy, meno pausal symptoms when comming off e…
