    No I called it pinkwashing because that's what the meme is highlighting. I've seen this kind of stuff in various spaces too

    but this feels off,

    the text in the second panel isn't the original text, notice how one is crusty and the other isn't

    This was altered for sure but this is also the only version I could find with a signature so it might still be from Lilith.

    The earliest version I could find is this

    CIA agents in 1964: Castro's in for the surprise of his life when he tries to sign something with my POISON PEN! CIA agents in 2024: "@libcrusher The phrase 'working class' is ableist and promotes eugenics because it positions disabled people and workers as enemies."

    Had the same feeling. It doesn't even make sense, because cis people never listen to us anyway, unless we pander to their transphobic biases

    It's not about what cis people think, it's about what's convenient for them.

    "Normal" trans person getting even just slightly upset by the shit they said to them? Inconvenient and uncomfortable for them. You'd have to rethink your transphobic biases and overcome the "icky" feeling, or, goddess behold, apologize to them.

    Buck Angel type that fully agrees with all the dumb shit you say about them? Convenient and relatable. Just keep dishing out your hot takes and have fun feeling superior while the inferior life form pats you on the back, without having to fear any awkwardness whatsoever.

    This is also the reason why cis people constantly complain about having to walk on eggshells around us and why they lash out so aggressively whenever we even just slightly criticise them: They only care about their comfort. Their comfort trumps all, especially our well-being. Doesn't matter if the things we say are true, because admitting that they were wrong about us leads to them feeling awkward, and we can't have that, right?
