  • First off, amazing title. Tagline pls.

    That argument about trans people sucks ass, and not in a sexual way.
    “Genocide only matters when it happens to meeeeee”
    It’s also stupid because we didn’t used to have genocide as something that was just given (we did, but not something libs acknowledged) now we do. Do they think it just stops here? If you accept genocide there’s not going to be less of it. Next election it’ll be “well sure trans people are being killed, but our candidate doesn’t want to murder homosexuals! If you vote for their guy you’ll get killed. It’s about stopping the genocide that’s yet to happen!”

    Also Biden is enabling persecution if trans people, so it doesn’t even make sense. “Well he’s just allowing you to be gathered into camps, he’s not ordering it himself and youre not getting murdered by the state, yet. If you dont vote for us, you will be. Also we’re not going to do anything to change conditions.” Its just a straight up threat to keep trans people in line.

    Point out that you do not support genocide, so therefore you won’t vote for Biden. You don’t support trans genocide either, which is why you won’t vote for Trump.
    Reassure them by saying that you’ll be not voting for Trump more than you’ll be not voting for Biden. Since not voting for Biden is a vote Trump and vice versa, then you have functionally voted for Biden, so there’s nothing to be mad about.
    Call them spineless for accepting genocide, and make some suggestion of direct action they can do. If they’re truly supportive of Palestine, then they’ll want to help, right? So they’ll donate to help some people out over there, right?
