    Yeah I don’t get that? Why are they constantly complaining about transphobia all the time? Yet I never see any.

      Because it’s simply a cudgel to use against other sections of the left "Oh you haven’t completely purged any and all bigotry from your movement? Guess we’re gonna have to act smug and call you a piece of shit. "

      And then “No no no, please don’t look at Marxist Leninists track record on LGBT rights” or “No way, there’s no genocide in Xinjiang”

      They’re basically using Fox new republican logic of screaming about how everyone who doesn’t agree with them is persecuting them and is a bigot about spins wheel of things they like to call people.

      It’s like labeling CCP critics “racist”

      Oh well I guess I’m being racist to myself for criticizing a regime that tried to kill me.

      Just tankie logic

      tbf I do definitely see transphobia pop up around the Fediverse, it’s just generally downvoted.
