btw...if you can't convince ME of this "take no prisoners" approach, wtf makes you think you can convince the very people who are ignorant of what Trans is, and want you all dead?! Huh? How does that work? Fight fight fight? We who stood at Compton and Stonewall DO NOT agree w/you.

What I abhor about your "movement," isn't Trans rights. It's your inflexibility, your anger, your self-righteous bullshit, your ignorance, and your outward hatred towards anyone who doesn't agree with your cult's activism. It's toxic and it's harming your cause and all of us!

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Those rights were fought by generations of people you've never heard of, nor give credit to. You really have NO CLUE. Just a generation ago, Trans was a "dirty word" in our society. Just..wow. Go ahead...burn down the house because you don't like the wall color. Doesn't matter if we all die, right?

If you want to alienate left-wing people, you're only harming yourself and your group. You don't "like" the lack of progress, well...welcome to the world of humans. ALL marginalized people experience this. You're SO laser-focused on hatred, that you can't see the damage it does to your movement.

You don’t know what it was like decades ago for Trans people. You don’t know how outcaste people were! You don’t see the progress. You’re blind with rage and “unfairness.” I get it.. but I’m not shitting on the very people who made it possible for you to speak openly on these things!

You’re talking about prioritizing social issue over murder. I want Trans people accepted as normal in society. But first, we should prioritize stopping the attacks, the physical harm, and the deaths. No?! Pete isn’t your problem. You are playing right into the fascists’ hands.

I want to stop the deaths, the violence, and the hatred FIRST. Pete's BS and "safe" politics aside, the most important issues are safety - life, and liberty. THEY, the fascists in power, are baiting you, and it's working. Don't let them win. I don't "support" mainstream anti-Trans ANYTHING, period!

You haven't proved or promoted anything. This is why I despise extremist activists. They have an agenda, and don't care whom they harm to get their points across, or agenda pushed. It ruins the whole movement for everyone. Good luck pushing away ALL your allies.

Just because someone doesn't believe what YOU believe, doesn't make them childish. Mistreating them makes YOU a bully. If you want people to understand and empathize with your position, you need to explain it, EVEN if you think they're stupid. That's too much for you to handle, apparently.

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
and btw...I know exactly what's happening to Trans people in this country. I have close friends who have been harmed. I fight whenever I can... I push for rights whenever I can. I stand up for people EVERY TIME. But bullies... I do NOT support them, regardless of their identity.

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
There are no stupid questions. There are incredibly stupid answers. Bullying me doesn't provide enlightenment, information, or progress. But... I guess you'd rather be angry, blame ME for your problems, and do NOTHING to teach, educate, or even SELL me on... anything.

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Since when did I say I want liberal Democrats to harm trans people? Again, you have not answered even ONE question I've posed. Explain how I am harming trans people, and I'll listen to you. Otherwise, there's no discussion, no understanding, no moving forward here.

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
No, I don't understand what YOU understand about FDR, because instead of explaining things, you just throw out "examples" like any bully would, and claim I'm an idiot because I "don't get it." Very nice... treating me like I'm stupid because I don't see your viewpoint. How does this help?

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I DO NOT FOLLOW, nor have I said I support ANYTHING about Pete Buttigieg. Again, STOP IT. One such liberal. Explain what, exactly, about MY political leanings, damages Trans people? Please... I'm listening. Let's see if you understand even one tiny piece of who I am. You don't listen at all.

I'm not mad... I said I'm confused. YOU all are pissed as HELL at a target you have decided is an "enemy" of your "cause." Like I said... you can all have solidarity with yourselves, but you're alienating THE PUBLIC. It's not good if you want MORE support.

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
yes.. I'm the "bad guy" for not jumping onto the "Trans anger bandwagon." I STILL DO NOT understand. It sounds like you think ALL DEMOCRATS hate and/or are preventing Trans people from getting rights and being accepted. Is that it? And you cite Pete as a primary example, yes?

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I replied to this. You are trying to make me out to be some kind of a monster. It's pretty stupid. If you want to air things publicly, expect people chiming in not to know about a sub-thread I couldn't possibly have access to. What poem? Never saw it. This is what I saw. This is what I said.

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
so which is it? Trans rights, or politics, or what? Pick your topic and stick to it. You don't like Pete Buttigieg. SO? I didn't say a WORD about Pete. STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH.

For you, it started there. I did NOT respond to the murder of trans people. That was their reply. Ok.. I'll go find it and post it, since you clearly don't believe me. ffs.

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
and that was the FIRST time the word TRANS came into the conversation. I replied I was confused. Your response is to assume I want harm to come to Trans people? HOW THE F do you come up with that?
100
Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
right. That wasn't the first reply. How do you draw such extreme conclusions from that? You expected me to "get it" and be on board with telling you Republicans who hate Trans people suck, and murder is beyond reprehensible? OF COURSE IT IS! But that wasn't the subject. You are part of a cult.

Disturbed By Our Government @bassicseltzer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I didn't assume this was about Trans rights. But it absolutely WAS a left-wing extremist admitting to helping bring fascism to America, to purposefully HARM people. Real progress comes from normalizing marginalized groups. Takes a LONG TIME. It's worth it.

This is what I replied to: "i don't think letting republicans win is going to accomplish any progressive goals. you misunderstand my intent. i want republicans to harm you in the same way democrats want to harm me. im weaponising them." Now do you understand?

Ok... sounds interesting. Not sure what it has to do with Trans rights - since that's what you say this is all about - but if he is reasonable, it could be a useful source. This reminds me of all the people angry at women for marching because they didn't march for BLM specifically. smh.

the post I replied to - lost track of it - had NO reference to Trans anything. It was a pure political post, with odd references to socialism, but it was unclear. You're all fighting each other, everyone around you...anyone you can get a hold of, and blaming Democrats for all your problems.

I fight for everyone. You fight for yourself. I support our democracy. You seem to support destroying it, replacing it with "something else." And the chaos and carnage along the way seems irrelevant. You NEED me to hate everyone you hate. Hate doesn't motivate me.

I'm sorry you hate Democrats and since you hate them, you likely hate ANYONE right of them, which is about 90-95% of the U.S. population. What is it you really want from all of us? You're propping up FDR out of context, btw. And he wasn't as extreme as you appear to believe. Socialized democracy.

Is this discussion about Trans rights and policy? The note I replied to didn't mention anything about Trans people. I didn't mention Trans rights, for or against - I'm for, btw - and I have NO clue why you're defending yourself against me. What is it you think I want? Now Pete? ?

So... anyone who disagrees with ANYTHING you say, for ANY reason, is automatically transphobic, ultra-right-wing, a NAZI, or a supporter of all the above? Interesting standards you have there. Pretty twisted logic, though.

Democracy is better than war. If you think that means we have to give up everything, then you shouldn't be in politics. All you'd be good at, is killing people in the "name of something." Whether or not that certifies you... is up to you. My family fought the Nazis. I know the difference. Do you?

Uh huh. It's time for violence, eh? The reasonable, rational people think it's time for UNITY. You think it's time to kick ass and take names. Democracy exists as an alternative to violence and death. If we ALL rose and told Trump to leave, he'd be gone already. You brought him. own it.

no clue what you're talking about. Transphobic people cross political lines. They aren't part of an ideological thing. They're just sourced from bigots, racists, and phobes. Calling Democrats evil... that's a whole other level. Calling them right-wing is handing the country to fascists.
