"cis people need to uplift trans people". The gall. These people need to start contributing to the community they're parasites of. It's just hyper aggressive colonization.

When i was younger, i never really understand what the big deal of "playing around with history" was and i always roll my eyes at 1984 quotes. "he who controls the past controls the future" just seemed like incredibly annoying conservative hyperbole.

But in the link, this gay idiot was sat down by these people and had his own history explained to him. Apparently, trans people did everything and he should be ashamed of himself and "his people" because he benefitted from their work (you know, the great homeless crackhead marsha p johnson contributed the billions of dollars required for the gay civil rights movement). Also, harvey milk, who gave his life for the movement and was assassinated, doesnt count.

And this genuinely works. Now he's brainwashed. And he's here to shame all of us for benefitting from their imaginary activist efforts. I guess history is about debt, who owes who what, who's guilty and who's not. It's not just about events and actions but collective pride, collective guilt and collective debt.

Interesting point. Harvey Milk used to be synonymous with the gay rights movement. I can't remember the last time I heard anyone mention him. Guess as a "cis white gay," he's not useful to the woke/LGBTQ narrative anymore. Question for Gen Z: do you know who he is?
