Leslie time, y'all. Surprisingly, this is my first Leslie post of the week. Consider yourselves lucky.

Up for discussion this week is anything from chapters 7 through 8. These discussion points kinda majorly fucking suck still.

  • What are your feelings about the book overall?
  • How did you react to Leslie spitting mad anti-capitalist facts in chapter 8? :CommiePOGGERS:
  • Are you still on your "lesser-of-two-evils" bullshit? 👀
  • What did you learn?
  • Was anything eye opening to you?
  • Are there any misconceptions about particular aspects of the trans community that have maybe been torn down?
  • Did anything make you reflect on how you view your own gender identity or expression?
  • Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  • Are there things that brought out intense emotion?
  • Was there anything that really reaffirmed your beliefs as a leftist or motivated you to be more based like Leslie? - Please, God. Remove me from this nightmare.

This thread will be featured for 24 hours then will remain pinned in !transenby_liberation for the remainder of the week. I'm thinking about keeping a general discussion thread pinned in the comm for anyone listening to the audio books to chime in and drop comments.

On not being a doomer, having solidarity, working together and motivating me out of the slump I've been in lately:
pg. 143

The people who make a difference in history are those who fight for freedom – not because they’re guaranteed to succeed – but because it’s the right thing to do.

pg. 141

The truth is, you and I are the stuff that great leaders are made of. We don’t have to wait for a distinguished white man on a horse or a politician wealthy enough to win office in a multimillion dollar campaign to usher in justice and equality. The ranks of rebellions and revolutions that have shaped human history have been made up of people like you and me. That history lesson has been purposefully kept from us.

pg. 136

To safeguard what we’ve won and to move forward requires securing, solidifying, and making more permanent alliances with other who are hurt by the same system. Consciousness plays an important role in cementing this coalition. Shared consciousness becomes a material force because what you’re fighting for and what you are determined to win together has a big impact on how your foes react to you.

pg. 121

The essential glue of teamwork is recognition of the value each individual brings to the group.

Hey, is there a good resource for an explain-it-like-i-grew-up-in-texas for gendered pronouns? The chart I keep seeing confuses me even more and I generally just stick to my generic and woke "y'all" until I can figure out a better ally-strat
