I’m disappointed that people still need evidence to see that it is more important to the neoliberal, imperialist party to maintain cisheteropatriarchy and white supremacy than it is to promote genuinely challenging politics. They only ever talked about vulnerable groups to capitalize on them and hold their issues hostage with the confidence that you have no other option.

Anti-transness is fundamental to this system, because heteronormativity is required for it to function; they’d rather lose an election than adopt politics that genuinely challenges their position.
