    not doing anything and just looking like man, doing hormones and boymoding which makes ppl think they’re a trans woman, or dressing not like a woman in fem clothes so they just look really out of place.

    Lemme get this straight, to be a good transgender to this person you must:

    1. not dress masc

    2. not dress femme

    3. not dress in a way that doesn’t easily read as femme

    What’s left? Nudism? Mascot outfits? A barrel?

    Someone smarter than me insert that parenti quote about how every action of the USSR was transmuted into a failure via shifting rhetoric.

      As a trans woman you’re only allowed to wear graphic t-shirts

      Which is weird, because they’re probably around as common/uncommon as skirts where I live and I see guys wearing them way more often

      If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard.

      By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative.

      If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology.

      If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom.

      A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.

      If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained.

      What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.
