my opinion of mls when i was younger was very much influenced by knowing ones irl who were on the more misogynist/transphobic side, unfortunately common in eastern europe. it’s a large part of why i gravitated to anarchist organizing.
since then i’ve run into mls through organizing who ended up being great comrades (many of whom were trans) and it really made the ones who are sexist seem like the anomaly.
i don’t like seeing the infighting from either direction at this point. it just feels monumentally counter-productive when there’s actual fash running around making lists of us. they certainly don’t care about the distinction between tendencies, anything other than solidarity is kinda doing their work for them.
I definitely agree with that
