I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, raped, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.

      You can’t just reply that to dismiss value criticism.

        The criticism is that the instance isn’t consistent in it’s beliefs. My point is that no one is.

          Sure, but “no one’s perfect” in the way you use it just ends up dismissing and sidelining valid criticism.

            I mean… yeah. You guys are pointing at fucking tankies and expecting them to have a logically consistent framework for their beliefs. Lmao.

              This should have been your first reply. The blanket statements were a bridge too far. This criticizes the actual instance and describes the problem.

      Consistency is so easy: “I’m right, everyone else is wrong, in all questions, for all eterntiy.” Done.

        If anything my point would be closer to “I’m wrong, everyone else is wrong, in all questions, for all eternity.”
