  • Agreed on the connection thing, just to go back to my schooling my teacher had a great uncle or some such whos parents apparently lived at the Wounded Knee reservation though were lucky enough to have been away. That’s only a couple degrees of separation and I could still witness the pain via my teacher since her uncle apparently talked about what he came back to quite a bit. That’s just using a teacher as well, I have at least one ancestoral branch who were on the East Coast before even James Town so as you can imagine I can dig up quite a few stories that end with “and then our native allies were butchered”.





  • Also from a purely propaganda point it’s a great wedge issue, mostly because it’s what I like to call a grey water issue wherein theres a lot of nuance involved so it makes people stupid. Ideally people would stop being stupid and handle this based on an instance by instance basis especially since there are so few trans folks to begin with.

    Mind you I know enough about biology to know that it’s a rainbow of fucken grey, because biology abhors easy answers. There’s no such thing as a perfect specimen only a type specimen and even that’s ignoring a lot of variation.



  • If it makes it any better that same teacher put a crack in my conservative upbringing by bringing to my attention the party swap. Good guy and frankly speaking it probably would’ve taken me till post 2020 to really shake it off instead of 2019, which may not seem like a lot but I should note that I am infact fueled by hatred as a baseline and that reactionary slop was cheap fuel for my fire. But thankfully I am now largely fueled by my own self supplied righteous furry, though that does make me some absolutely heinous and unhinged shit. But hey could be worse.
