Leftism isn't purity politics but by god there are some people doing their best
Would you respond the same to a post saying "leftism leaving people's bodies the moment someone mentions trans people"?
How would you try to convince someone that their circle of caring is too small? That they don't need to be perfect in how they handle that group as long as they acknowledge their shortcomings and work on getting better? That solidarity with victims is more important than solidarity with perpetrators that are more like you?
That's quite an horrific parallel to attempt to draw there. I'm actually shocked that you'd attempt to equate these two.
Being a vegan or vegetarian does not automatically mean you are a good person, or hold a particular political affiliation. Stop trying to pretend it does.
Okay, so answer the questions.
You posed a loaded question. You presume your own position as the only valid one
I'm not playing bad faith games
If you weren't playing, you wouldn't be responding. So apparently you think this is a bad faith interaction that you are choosing to engage in. Thanks for clarifying your position, I'll be blocking you now.
Are you comparing trans people to farm animals?
Incredible.
Classic thought-terminating cliche
posting a random Wikipedia link as an 'argument' is a classic thought-terminating cliche
pithy! zounds, you have bested me in sport. but any rhetorical victories don't make rape and murder okay. consider not being needlessly cruel and violent. the experiences of animals are real and matter. their suffering is identical in nature to your own. the animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are entitled to the exact same unconditional love and protection.
Ok jerkface
