In other words, they were making really good arguments that had no answers. And using the trans' own language to do it.

I'm trans and I don't talk like that; SJWs make me sick.

Then you're a traitor to your own side and an ally to transphobes.

    This is why I don't like the use of 'community' to describe such groups. It'd be more accurate to say LGBT activists or trans activists rather then describe them as communities, thus lumping everybody in as if they have a common goal.

    Agreed - I think part of the problem is the default of making groups responsible for a small subgroups' actions.

    This is evident in many arenas - for example, some Trump supporters storm the capital - everyone then acts as if ALL Trump supporters did the same (I'm not one, not even American, but you get the idea).

    Have a look at /r/AHS and their triumphing over getting the sub banned - ALL of their examples are posts by individuals which they then attribute to EVERYONE that visited to the sub (who are, of course, 'all Nazis'). I think this is partly why they got so upset - the sub went out of its' way to remove bad posts, trolls etc were downvoted and so on....you really wouldn't think looking at their summaries that they were talking about the same people.

    What's really annoying is that their members posted CP etc. in the sub, but we're somehow not supposed to hold them all responsible for it - so they're not even consistent.

    That's prejudice, and both sides subscribe to it. The left claims to be against it, but they're the ones who literally call Trump supports Nazis and tell everyone to "be less white".

    Yet you don't hear Conservatives saying all Biden supporters are BLM terrorists, and neither do we use it as justification to advocate for elected officials to be removed from office.

    It's obvious the Democrats are trying to exploit it for political gain, even though they pushed to defund the capitol police and refused until they already broke in.

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if many of the "bad" posts where made by them so they could get it banned.

    What's really annoying is that their members posted CP etc. in the sub, but we're somehow not supposed to hold them all responsible for it - so they're not even consistent.

    Yet they'll never get banned for literally breaking the law, even though they should be behind bars for the rest of their lives.

    As Bob Chipman, noted eugenicist and man least likely see his own penis without the aid of mirrors said, no bad tactics, only bad targets. All is acceptable to these extremists so long as it’s directed at enemies of the party.

    I agree; I generally use the word "Community" to refer to the cult, rather than LGBT collectively.

    They like having the social status of being oppressed, it's a power trip. You get to call everyone who disagrees with you awful things, you have the media and fortune 500 companies taking your side at every turn, you get to bully publicly other people and feel righteous about it and so on.

    Yep, as long as you stick to the Democratic Party platform — the moment you question abortion or illegal immigration: you might as well be Hitler!
