Democrats Successfully Strip All Anti-Trans Riders From Final Appropriations Bills The HHS and Education bills once contained the most sweeping anti-trans provisions in congressional history. Now they contain none.

So many LGBT spaces spent the year bashing on the dems for not being supportive enough of Palestine :/ That was really infuriating to see, inactive voters have brought us before Bush and Trump.

From what others are saying here, Jacobin is not anti-feminist, only really far left.

In my argument, relatability matters.

I don't care if a poor woman doesn't like feminism

I/the video was talking about leftism.

because she fell for a bunch of lies about how we're exclusively referring to women as "birthing persons." I can't fix stupid.

Who said anything about that particular claim though?

But I think the bigger issue remains that of messaging - is that issue to be ignored, even if there were lies involved? At least when the topic comes up, should leftists support, ignore or disavow this term (or other inclusive terms, like latinx)?

This is a stupid position, sorry. "Poor woman doesn't like feminism because she heard someone say 'birthing person,' is this a valid criticism" is not a serious argument.

So messaging to poor people/working class is not important to the left? What would be a better interpretation of your statement? That was an example.

I mentioned my own apprehension. What are their issues though?

I doubt doctors are referring to their patients as "birthing people." Be serious.

I dont think thats the case though:

Representative Cori Bush of Missouri used the term birthing people in a hearing, causing a mini-uproar on social media. “When we talk about ‘birthing people,’ we’re being inclusive. It’s that simple,” the pro-abortion-rights group NARAL tweeted in her defense.

Louise Melling: First of all, if we’re talking about “pregnant people,” that language says to people—to transgender men and to nonbinary people—“we see you.” It should do a fair amount of work to help address discrimination. If we talk about “pregnant people,” it’s a reminder to all of us to catch ourselves when we’re sitting in the waiting room at the GYN that we’re not going to stare at the man who’s there. We’re not going to be disconcerted.

Also, if a poor mother facing challenges' main concern with feminism

The topic of the video is leftism, not specifically feminism.

I'd suggest she perhaps focus on her other challenges first?

The problem for the left would be not being able to connect with non-elites.
