In his first 150 days, Mayor Mamdani has:
- closed a $12B deficit
- collected $9M in unpaid fines from Bezos
- recovered $5M in stolen wages for gig workers
- raised minimum wage to $30/hr
- drove violent crime to record lows
- marched for trans rights

I don't ever want to hear an excuse from a single Democrat ever again. Turns out the "radical leftist agenda" is just competent representation.

@Lana
That's what “radical leftist agenda” always has been.
@dzwiedziu
I mean, it has also been antifa (NOT "anti-fascist") violence and tyranny. But if OP is right then I celebrate him too, depending on what "trans rights" exactly mean.
@Lana

@light
Bruh, “antifa” is short for “antifascism”, and it's much more akin to anarchism (as in political ideology, not “chaos”) than tyranny.

And if you're not sure what “trans rights” are then ask a trans organisation what it means.

@Lana

@dzwiedziu @Lana
And "DPRK" is short for "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". Your point?
>ask a trans organisation what [“trans rights”] means.
How am I supposed to do that?
None of the sources online, which are usually from various activist orgs, have told me anything meaningful so far.
Why don't you tell me what it means?
I have tried and failed to think of any rights that people are actually entitled to that trans people are unfairly lacking. Now it's your (trans activists) turn.

@light
> And "DPRK" is short for "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". Your point?

Nominal determinism is fake.
DPRK is not doing democracy.
Antifa is doing antifascism.

Which orgs and what did you read? Because if you think that trans people don't lack any rights, then you've read TERF propaganda.

One example that you can easier get T for male gender affirmation therapies than HRT.

So if you're not willing to listen to trans activists, then just leave trans people alone.

@Lana

@dzwiedziu Are we having a debate here or are we having a performative shit-flinging contest? Because if it's the latter then I'd rather not.

@dzwiedziu
>One example that you can easier get T for male gender affirmation therapies than HRT.
How and source?

>leave trans people alone
Already do. But they don't leave me alone.

@light
Search “HRT ban”.

Let me guess, they won't leave you alone, because they exist?

That's why I'm not willing to engage in a debate. I've already noted you as a transphobe a few months ago, and now you're just slowly going there.

Bugger off

@dzwiedziu
>Let me guess, they won't leave you alone, because they exist?
Nope. Because they demand I agree with them that they are literally the opposite gender/sex, not just that I accept their right to modify their body or behaviour (which I am completely willing to do btw).
But of course you don't care about that. You just want to join a movement, feel like you and your gang are right about everything, and attack everyone else.
FUCK. YOU.

@light
So you're okay with body modification, but only to the point that *you* accept.

Okay, transphobe.

@dzwiedziu I said "completely", you dunce. That means "completely".

@dzwiedziu It's debatable whether modifying your body into the form of a man or woman actually makes you that sex. I would argue that with the tech we have (which IIRC is basically just cosmetic surgery) it does not.
But that opinion doesn't mean that I don't think they should be allowed to undergo that surgery, you nuance-free fool.

Their body, their choice.
My mind, my choice.

Freedom to express yourself, whether it's your gender-stereotyped style or your philosophical beliefs.

Deal?

@light
I'm sorry, you're calling me a “dunce” and a “nuance-free fool” and expect me to make a “deal” with you?

You're breaking Popper's Paradox (as a social contract) and expect me to meet you half way?

Gender expression includes social gender, so no deals with transphobes.

@dzwiedziu
>I'm sorry, you're calling me a “dunce” and a “nuance-free fool” and expect me to make a “deal” with you?
You called me a "transphobe" first. So fine, don't then. But I'm telling you, people are getting sick of your idpol shit. ~~There will be~~ There is already a reckoning underway. I don't like it; you don't like. But this is what happens when you antagonise people with your identarian tyranny.
@dzwiedziu
>You're breaking Popper's Paradox (as a social contract)
How am I doing that? Wasn't Popper's Paradox about violence? How is anything I'm doing violent?
And it's not intolerant either: I tolerate trans people perfectly well; it's you who don't tolerate my philosophical opinions.
