The other day, I was reading that same discussion again.
“I can’t wait till the tide finally turns and all these loudmouths on the Trans Train will get their just desserts!”
“Yeah, I think about that, too. But I’m afraid the world will just pretend it never happened.”
What 19th century Worker’s Movement?
This goes against the gut feeling of Justice, but the pessimists have a point. How many times have we had something completely off-the-charts insane splashed across our screens, only to have the News Cycle churn onward and nothing really happen?
Off the top of my head, the Panama Papers come to mind. Wealthy and powerful people all over the world exposed as nothing more than elaborate hoarders. Hoarders of the wealth generated by the resources of a world we all share.
Really, the fact that Wikileaks hasn’t drastically changed our Standard Operating Procedure speaks volumes.
There’s the Trump administration bungling the pandemic response because he wanted to ignore it. He really seemed to think that if he downplayed it hard enough, long enough, we’d all just forget and he could get back to winning. Considering how often shit like this happens, can we even blame him?
After a hellish year, the bleakest light is finally breaking through the clouds, and general chatter does seem to have moved on. I’m as sick of talking about Trump as anyone is, but I’m not a Judge! Someone ought to be following up on that.
I could write a neverending series on this topic. The media may try to forget, but I find that people remember. We’re just convinced no one else does.
But speaking of following up, Trans Rights cannot be added to this list.
The Truth will set us free, but first it will piss off the world.
When that wave crests and breaks and falls away, plenty of those left high and dry will try to pretend they just like heights. We can’t let them get away with it this time.
The RadFem community needs to take this new fire stoked in the struggle and spread flames of truth everywhere. I know we’re tired. It’s been a long slog so far and no one can say how long this spell will last. Or how far its tendrils will reach.
But we have to hold tight. Reality is a TERF. Fight the Good Fight and, when it’s over, be ready to be front lines for cleanup. It might even be refreshing after years of being relegated to the margins for ‘transphobia.’
Take good notes now, we have to remember and provide receipts when the time comes. You wanna talk about Cancel Culture? Hypocrites, begone!
Integrity is our strongest weapon against those who have none. If we come prepared, the moment for flexing will be epic.
