i'm not trans and i hate people too.. pretty much everybody actually.

If you have the means to buy property then you can create a community space for your neighbourhood where you can host events or community kitchen on donation basis, you can rent out or where you can sell stuff. That’s basically what all similar initiatives in my area do to sustain themselves. Leftist organizing means organizing over all axes except class, because we do need that solidarity between all working class people in order to win.

The formula of making a protective space for a victimised group that then works on bettering the whole community where they’re located has been successful in many places so it might work in yours as well. Aside from the money you gain, the connection with the neighbourhood functions as a security layer. It also creates a breeding pot for more political organizing.

I try to see ethics in terms of what real-world harm or good comes from an action, so I definitely get where you're coming from with this. Would the outcome of this be to cause people more harm than otherwise, or would the overall all outcome improve things for at least some people? And on that note, one thing to be careful about is if this idea would actually work. If it doesn't work out for whatever reason, would the fallout cause people more harm than if you never went through with it in the first place? What's the risk of something like that happening?

Sounds like if this saves at least some trans people without making anyone else worse off, it could a positive thing overall, but figuring out how to make it work as intended would be the hard part. Also, I'm sorry the world we live in is so depressing and I hope you're doing ok.

One more thing, if we're talking about participating in capitalism to help comrades out, I have a few unhinged chud-targeted "business ideas" I'd love to share with the world.

I don't blame you. Idk the logistics, and I hate the idea of being a slumlord even assuming you don't mean it in the negligent/absentee landlord sense. But you're already doing more than I'm capable of right now, and it's getting so bad out there. If you have a good chance to make it work, to make anything work that will help stem the tide of trans people ending up on the street or in restrictive/unwelcoming shelters, go for it. And honestly, reading this is making me reconsider some things about what I need/want to be doing.

I have the possibility of actually doing this.

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.

In my locality that is what we're doing, and there is a strong emphasis on queer + trans people. Unless you're in a HCOL area without a high-paying job, it is possible to do it reasonably close by.

We might not get an accepting society but we can certainly play our cards wisely so as to end up with refuges where misfits to mainstream society can experience communal luxury.

Often during meetings a new comrade will bring up why we run services to help people if we could be helping people who are racist/homophobic, etc. One of my comrades in my group wanted to discuss something just between us so I set time aside for it.

This discussion was essentially; "Why don't we create a apartheid like state where queers receive decent human rights and straights and cis people aren't allowed."(not a quote) Likening it to a commune. There are so many issues with this I could write a book about it. The land that would need to be taken, the heavy surveillance people would have to face to confirm queer status, the argument of who qualifies as queer, is being therian enough, is transitioning mandated, the oppression of an entire demographic of people, most of whom never got the opportunity to be educated within America's oppressively poor education system, ETC.

But one thing that reflects yours, the previous point, and theirs is that there are people who do need help that will fall out of your arbitrary lines. There are bourgeoisie trans people, and gays and lesbians that exploit others to the same degree. Being part of a minority often gives you a chance to better understand these issues and educate yourself but its not guaranteed. There's a well known (in revolution groups) transwomen in my area who hates leftists and volunteers to infiltrate and spy on leftist groups for state security.

The sentiment here is falling back into chauvinism and I understand the sentiment (I'm a transwomen), but you will not find an effective solidarity among any particular group but the working class. Oppressing one group does not make things "equal". You're coming into power and instead of using that power to deconstruct contradictions of capitalism and fight against it you're appropriating it for your own use.

That being said, I'm all for just trying to house trans people with your available assets. I am currently living in a situation where i often house trans people who's leases were up or homeless in my area to help them get on their feet. I do this for free because I can. It doesn't mean you have to do the same thing, circumstances are different.
