I think I'm reverting a bit into some misanthropic and nihilistic tendencies, but at this point I feel like I don't even care about bad things happening to cis people. Everything feels worse for trans people, and I spend a lot of time helping other trans people with problems caused by shitty cis people. I genuinely think 90% of cis breeders hate their trans kids in some way and actively make their lives harder, even the lib 'accepting' ones. I'm like 60% of the way to thinking 'yeah I'm gonna be a terrible slumlord for cis people so I can make trans people live better lives, I'll house them for free by taking money from the cis by being an exploitative landlord'. I have the possibility of actually doing this. I doubt we're having a revolution, so like... isn't this an equalizer? There's also the fact that trans people basically have no familial support, being a landlord exploiting cis people would mean we are forcing society to actually support those without it. I could see alternative arguments, like maybe if you have access to a lot of housing you could just make cheap housing for trans people and that would foster a whole community rather than having a lot of depressed cis people slaving away for a handful of homeless trans people, idk. You'd probably have to deal with anti-discrimination laws with that scheme, whereas giving housing away for free to trans people can be contractless.

Obviously I'm a communist through and through, but why should I care about others outside the community when many cis people clearly aren't in the position materially to even begin to think about communism, let alone trans inclusive communism? Talking to them won't work either when they see you as a freak from the start.

Build the commune. Just go straight for it. If it’s private property then you can decide who can be there. If you have a trust that holds the property, it’s still private property.

Already did but the reality is we're very alone and the number of homeless people in our area is building up. We need more space but have zero avenues to expand without exploitation (either stocks, commercial rentals, or housing which would be by far the easiest to expand on because once it's paid off we can put trans people in it). Like it's borderline impossible to even get trans people we know hired and making enough to support themselves. They basically survive on internet begging because of the dearth of funds, like we can't pay for everyone's healthcare because we have to be strategic so we can help where it counts (like bulk food). Trans people are also not an attractive donation target, we're not puppies, kids, or some minor celebrity that needs to pay for cancer.

I basically see this as hiding Jews (or trans people ,or queers) during the Holocaust by any means necessary. No one seems to comprehend the level of catastrophe anyone working in this space is seeing right now. Maybe it's not reasonable for me to try to expand beyond what we can directly inhabit but it breaks my heart every day to see everyone dying and society to keep on chugging like it's normal. And yeah, society should suffer for that. And if I could target shithead cishet people with a laser sight I absolutely would, but I'm generally ok with shafting people that aren't actively working to help homeless people.

Yes, that's what it is. They went after the gender research first last time, and they'll do it this time too, only even more prominently and coherently, because that's what the scapegoating propaganda has been built up around.
