Often it's fear. They think if they're a perfect, respectable minority, they can appeal to the kindness of queerphobes and win rights through sympathy. Sometimes it's even trauma. Gay guy is used to being called a girl for his gayness, and is triggered to see a trans woman willingly taking that on. Or trans person is used to hearing helicopter copypastas and thinks otherkin are conservative trolls. In both cases, they're used to being attacked with the idea of more marginalised queers, and think they can switch sides to the oppressor's corner if they disavow the smaller minority

That’s incredibly enlightening. You’re very insightful. Thank you.

Thank you. If you really want to do a lot for minorities, become a soulist. http://soulism.net

We’re not free until we’re all free. People won’t have any rights if they only fight for their own.

Soulism is for the liberation of gay, bisexual, asexual, trans, nonbinary, intersex, and every other queer identity. Soulism is for justice, sovereignty, and flourishing of black, indigenous, multiracial, immigrant, and global-south communities. Soulism is for additional options for divergent, disabled, disordered, and ill persons in either a recovery of their own will, or a life of their own choosing. Soulism is for the recognition and acceptance of otherkin, plural systems, and members of new religious movements and cults. Implementation of soulist ideas, including the ideas shared by the broader spectrum of anarchist thinking, will help everyone by giving everyone freedom of life and reality, but those most disadvantaged will most benefit.

Thanks for this!
