I didn’t mean to say that having more knowledge on gender identity was a bad thing.
Politics is about getting enough voters to vote for you with a limited amount of words. Politicians do not have the power to educate, but they do make choices on what policies to focus on.
If those choices focus on dividing the working class we all lose, because some haven’t read Gender Queer that doesn’t mean policy can’t support LGBT+ it just isn’t the main focus to news.
To quote Mao:
Communists should be the most farsighted, the most self-sacrificing, the most resolute, and the least prejudiced in sizing up situations, and should rely on the majority of the masses and win their support.












No, I said focus on trans rights is dividing the working class. Solidarity can only happen after workers realise that the far-right talking about immigrants/trans/disabilities is a method to divide them and evade their anti worker policies.
Treating trans/immigrant/disabled rights as a matter of fact based on professional scientific evidence rather than the major talking point, otherwise yes you are falling into the far-right’s trap line and sinker.
And yet center left parties continue to do so, it’s not about how to talk with workers or unions at factories/construction/harbor/shops/distribution and when they do the talking head is a rich suit earning 4x and living in an 18th century house.
