ABC (Anything But Class) leftists and ABI (Anything But Imperialism) leftists be like.

Trans people are statistically strongly affected by homelessness, poverty, unemployment due to discrimination, lack of access to healthcare etc. and most trans people live in the global south. So to ignore class and imperialism in your advocacy for trans rights means to effectively throw the majority of trans people under the bus.

Anyone claiming that they will do anything for you based on you being in a specific identity group is using you to enrich and empower themselves. This is ALWAYS true, from Hillary Clinton to Nick Fuentes to Netanyahu to Al Sharpton to Trump. Non-class identity is a scam the rainbow coalition of pedophiles who rule us use to divide us while they ALWAYS have class (and pedophilia) solidarity.
