"you can support the trans community without [referring to people as birthing people or people with uteruses]"
No actually, you cannot. Inclusive language is not an optional part of trans liberation. It not only demonstrates a very basic respect, but is necessary in preventing the needless suffering and deaths of trans people at the hands of the medical system. You can't have it both ways.
So excited to see a liberal, female political commentator speak out about women’s erasure! Ana Kasparian is one of the co-hosts of The Young Turks along with Cenk Uygur.
Makes me wonder, how many women are hiding in left-wing spaces terrified to speak the most basic feminist views for fears of being labeled a TERF or a biggot?
These ana-only segments are growing increasingly difficult to watch. To be clear, they've been miserable to watch for a while now as her interests are getting narrowed and calcified and her takes are getting dumber because of it.
"New York City and Chicago/etc. is having an immigration issue" Yes, because Republican governors, who are the main and major recipients of the funding and infrastructure are actively subverting that investment to send them elsewhere, have been doing so for months, and people gave up on stopping them from doing that.
"I overall agree with AOC, but we need to control immigration" AOC was discussing calls from Republicans to shut down the border entirely and Biden's executive action to cease asylum and refugee requests entirely.
I would timestamp the exact time in that interview where that context is made, but TYT doesn't post links to the sources they're using, and acknowledging that perspective would put a significant hurdle on Anna's recent "DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG OF A PROBLEM THIS IS!?" track on immigration.
AOC is in the South Bronx. She's here consistently, talking to people. Maybe she's not stupid and you're clipping shit from her to make her look out of touch. With shit like this flying everywhere, I wonder why "illegal immigration" is jumping in the polls. Do you think she could point out how this is the singular and only issue being pressed by the Republican Party as their campaign strategy for 2024 might be why Immigration being the "Most important issue" for 28% of people?
Coincidentally, that's the exact percentage of Americans who are registered Republicans in the US as of 2023.
"Trans people and trans rights are not liabilities to any left-wing movement in any sense of the term, and anybody who has ever spoken of them as such is either a disingenuous transphobe or too stupid and lazy to ever be taken seriously."
It’s been a few days and I haven’t seen anything about how the Ana Kasparian drama is just proof no matter how obedient a woman is to the trans cult TERF will be thrown at her the second she says anything that stands up for women.
Every few months a popular leftist media idiot will stand up on a table and be like “I think trans people should try being more normal” and they’ll genuinely believe they’re being original
The Young Turks can get fucked, tbh. My life is on the line, you dirty dishrag of a "news" organization. Fuck you, Chunk Yogurt, and fuck you, Ana Kasparian. I hope the Prager U money is worth it, you dumb cunts
