What is the connection between communism and the transgender movement? Is it as simple as there being significant overlap as marginalized groups fighting against the status quo? The interviews for the Marxist instances pointedly asked how I felt about LGBTQ, and now you're intimating that discussing Trans athletes is indicative of someone being a liberal as opposed to a leftist. I don't see how someone's opinion about Trans athletes has anything to do with their opinion about the optimal socioeconomic structure of society.
Ok. I'm very sympathetic to trans people and it's good to hear that you've found allies in socialist groups. It doesn't always show because I tend to rant about big concepts and skip right past the simple things. But I don't hate you and I appreciate your answer to my question.
