Interesting read it seems trans and other marginalized folk based on identity have their struggles really developped in terms of theory and complexity in the english speaking world. But I'm aware that the opression is still there and the rights are either tokenized by liberals as ammunition for elections or threatened by the conservative and reactionary wing of capitalist parties of the west.

Sadly it’s not the case in the arab speaking world so a lot of them are either hiding or if lucky leave on a work visa or stydy visa to some other contry for asylum they usualy assume you are lying ( from political repression to indentity based oprrssion clan violence and sectarian and gang violence etc etc its also almost impossible to ask for asylum if you are from a western backed dictatorship they prefer people whom stories they can use and tokenize).

Though it’s interesting to learn and grow and loose aspects of my reactionary upbringing for what isnt Marxism-Leninism but a continuous learning and a science of progress.

Personaly i think the shark is cute and if it makes the trans person comfy, happy and smile then they should have their comfort plushy friend. One day aftrr the revolution we would have worker state owned on demand plushy factories for the comrades!!!!!

Identifying with consumer brands is silly no matter what reason or what brand. I see this happen with other communities as well (cough cough monster energy).
