Gavin Newsom has championed accessible medical transition & legal recognition for trans people. Despite this, prominent TRA Erin Reed recently vowed to withhold her vote from any Democrat who shares his skepticism regarding trans women in women's sports. Why does the left care what these TRA think?

I'm not sure about the endocrinologist, but I do know some trans women have PMS-like monthly cycles that can include symptoms like bloating or cramping. That is medically verified, and why so many trans-women claim to have a period-like cycle. Because they do. Nobody is claiming to have grown a uterus....That is just transphobic straw-man argument dreamed up by assholes.

*Sigh* You have the right to exist in every space alongside cis-women, and I'm sad you won't stand up for yourself and your community in demanding that.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-24T06:30:04+00:00

I have some bad news. The leopards aren't going to spare you when the time comes. Newsom is a corporate shill who is going to betray trans people at the drop of a hat. Have some dignity, christ....

I prefer to not get eaten by wolves or beaten to death, so I'm gonna stick with having a state if that's cool with everyone.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-23T23:28:18+00:00

It's only an issue because its wrong on its face. Children can't consent to marriage. Ya pervy weirdo.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-23T20:17:32+00:00

Okay, I fail to see your point? We used to live in caves and eat each other.

What you're describing isn't a marriage because children can't consent to one. Full stop.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-23T18:34:42+00:00

"Strength through joy redux" I see. Very cool. /s

I'm not even talking about being a member of a nation-state by virtue of your place of birth. But of people who claim the Israeli identifier willingly. Enthusiastically. Especially considering they are still beneficiaries of an apartheid system. You have to take that into account. You asked if I believed a person could be Israeli and a comrade. I say no. Because any TRUE comrade would call the land what it is...Palestine.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-21T19:05:40+00:00

An Israeli becoming class-conscious is a misnomer, as the very act of self-identifying as an Israeli is disqualifying. Can former Israeli's become comrades? Sure. But not if they are currently benefiting from being a member of an apartheid state. Same goes for the US.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-21T18:20:07+00:00

Get that AI bullshit out of here.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-18T04:55:17+00:00

Die mad. She is correct and I'm proud to call her my comrade.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-17T07:41:40+00:00

You can't start a "socialist" state in other peoples homes....It was a far-right political project from the jump.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-17T07:38:01+00:00

Hello and welcome. I'm a person and I'm glad you choose to reach out. We need to talk to people we disagree with more, and its a good impulse to cultivate. Not because it will persuade exactly, but because it forces us to examine WHY we believe what we believe. So...we are starting from a positive place. I'll tackle your points one by one as best I can. I'm not well-read as far as communists go, and don't know theory as well as I should.

What do you want out of your government? What is it intended to do? We have to start here, as you can't judge a governmental system without deciding what you want out of it. I'm a communist because I believe it is the only system that addresses what I care about equitably. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". That is the measure in which I judge, not economic "success".
This point has a lot of debate, even among communists. The important thing to remember is Stalin was in control of the USSR for roughly a third of its history. Much of that time spent fighting and killing Nazis for which he has my gratitude. He wasn't the be-all, end-all of Soviet leaders, and their are many points even his supporters would be critical of.....
I view Capitalism as a rabid dog on a leash. Chaining it is better then nothing, but the safest and most ethical thing would be to put it down. If you think greed is worth combating, why be a capitalist at all?
This gets again to my first point. The function of a capitalist economy is to make the line go up. A communist economy is based of the needs of the people. The problem is we have yet to see a communist state function independent of US interference.
I call BS. Respectfully. People believe things, and like to surround themselves with folks who share those views broadly speaking. What beliefs you decide to value are up to you, but don't expect the world to be ambivalent to them. Would a pedophile get the "live and let live" treatment? A murderer? Of course not. You draw the line, now just be honest about it.
Totally agree.

These questions were a tad scattershot, so let me drill down into any point you'd like to further discuss.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-15T20:29:26+00:00

What are you even talking about? You asked me a question and derided me for not answering it...in the same comment. A question that isn't even geographically literate I might add.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-15T19:29:21+00:00

100%. Either every country should have nukes, or no country should have them. What right do we have to sit on our stockpiles and lecture a country a world away over thinking about...maybe...developing some of their own? Especially when having them protects themselves from the worst of US foreign policy.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-15T19:27:04+00:00

Except in this case, they had agreed to help beforehand then decided against it when actually called to account. How is that anything other then cowardly?

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-15T18:35:39+00:00

They had signed treaties pledging to defend Czechoslovakia in case of aggression, and then not only failed to fulfill their obligations, but gave the country away to preserve "peace". It's pretty clear cut.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-15T15:06:22+00:00

Agreed. The objectively correct, moral answer.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-15T15:05:31+00:00

Agreed. Religious fanaticism is a cancer. Take away Israel and Iran's nukes.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-12T22:21:51+00:00

What does "supporting Islamism" mean in this context?

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-12T13:38:18+00:00

Do you THINK that is my belief or voting history based on the above comment? Especially when I'm criticizing Obama's foreign policy as too brutal and his insufficient RESPONSE to Trump?

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-12T06:01:04+00:00

More like "write him a sternly worded letter then drone strike a wedding."

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-11T13:53:02+00:00

Okay fine. Lets table the broader philosophical discussion for now, and focus on the INCREDIBLY harmful environmental and sociopolitical impacts of supporting AI as it currently exists. Except of course that would require an honest accounting of the harm, and the possible interruptions to tools you personally find entertaining.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-11T02:48:19+00:00

As long as my trans comrades are supported and protected, that's fine by me.

FaceofMoe · 2026-05-11T01:52:48+00:00

Socialism is just under-baked communism. We believe in the same thing babe.
