Have you seen progressive people be discriminatory either intentionally or unintentionally and if so in what way?

Have you seen progressive people be discriminatory either intentionally or unintentionally and if so in what way? - Lemmy.World

Edit: I didn’t actually think I’d need to put this here but unfortunately I think those kinds of people are here Bigots are not welcome on my post and they are certainly not welcome on my post to co-opt it to spread bigotry I am progressive myself and support human rights and LGBTQ+ people

Constantly. Usually it takes the form of purity tests.

  • “You’re either with me or against me / You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem”
  • “If you don’t satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you’re as bad as a nazi”
  • "We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you’re not to be trusted"
  • etc

i really have never encountered someone like this.

unless the ‘purity test’ is being anti genocide or pro trans rights. you know, basic fundamental shit.

I need the right to take hormones, but I dont need the right to take my dick to the ladiesz bathroom. Does this make me a Nazi?

This logic implies that you would be comfortable with a fully-transitioned trans male using the female toilets. They are 6’1", well built, bearded and indistinguishable from a cis male, but they still have a vagina and therefore since we are allocating toilets on genitalia, they must use the female toilets.

No it doesn’t make you a Nazi to say what you just said, but I do think you are worrying about things that really are not an issue.

Stopping trans females from using female toilets does not prevent straight cis men from sneaking inside to do something nefarious – you know, the demographic that is by far the most likely to sexaully assault someone?
