    in other words, it’s true that it’s a distraction, but it’s a distraction in the opposite direction from what tankies like nutomic say. it being a distraction is not a reason to abandon your trans allies, it’s a reason to protect them from the hoardes of haters who don’t readize they act as class traitors when they attack our trans brothers and sisters

      You’re 100% right. It’s ts a distraction insofar as it serves to quell the movement. The bourgeois elite gave these protections to queer people out of a singular desire to protect their capital interests. If they can mandate gay marriage is legal and suddenly capital is sharing pride month celebrations and the revolutionary intent behind the push for trans rights and queer liberation is stifled.

      We got gay marriage, what’s there to be militant about?

      It’s a distraction from the inherent oppressive system that has the ability to marginalize people in the first place.
