don’t even compare trans rights to abortion rights. You’re disgusting
Answer:
1) all marginalised peoples fight for liberation is interconnected
2) esp on abortion and trans rights, where the issue is body autonomy vs. the christian patriarchal state
3) everyone should be able to get an abortion and a sex change without the state’s permission / criminalisation
4) a separation of womens rights and trans rights represents a fundamental misunderstanding in how the patriarchy as it exists punishes both cis women and people who deviate from mandated sex, sexuality and gender norms in similar and interconnected ways. and how our liberation is ultimately (joyfully and powerfully) connected to each other
Liberation won’t come from distancing yourself from or villainising other marginalised people
This search for niche groups led Subaru to the 3rd rail of marketing: They discovered that lesbians loved their cars. Lesbians liked their dependability and size, and even the name “Subaru.” They were four times more likely than the average consumer to buy a Subaru. […] Subaru decided to launch an ad campaign focused on lesbian customers. It was such an unusual decision—and such a success—that it pushed gay and lesbian advertising from the fringes to the mainstream.
If you’ve ever wondered why people joke about lesbians driving Subarus, the reason is not just that lesbians like Subarus. It’s that Subaru cultivated its image as a car for lesbians—and did so at a time when few companies would embrace or even acknowledge their gay customers.
