In this context it's definitely a hot take considering the prudish neighbor was able to make freaky shit "illegal" anyway, and in far greater capacity than any single government could. Rape and incest ain't for me but I take serious offense when they get banned because a handful of people decide for the rest of us how the world is supposed to look like without anyone else getting a say in the matter. At least if they went the legal route the process would've a) been transparent and given an opportunity for others to make a case and b) not instantly affect the entire world.

This "scary government is going to take away your rights" just leads to private enterprises taking away your rights without any oversight. This entire thing is a case in point. The government can take away your rights but at least you have a way to fight for your rights, what are you going to do against oligopolistic payment processors taking away your rights?

  You do realize that was not the end of the sentence?
  
  But just for you I added the word games and then moved the structure around.

i hate to inform you that these lobbying groups are acting exactly like a state would, actually. maybe don’t lecture to trans people and tell us how the state works, we interact with the state way more than you ever will have to 💋

  Okay, the smug "you're not one of us so don't speak" argument... Alright, then we're just not going to have a discussion. Just don't forget that if one of these groups ever use payment providers to suppress trans rights you supported this.

    not surprising at all that you chose to go the blue MAGA “enjoy your camps, then” instead of taking a step back. the only smug person here was you not realizing you’re way out of your depth

    Sorry, excuse me for making this comment, but I kinda think that the user Goodeye8 was agreeing with you since the start.
    
    Anyways I wish you well.

    Do you know that you can edit your comment before you post? Because if you post and then edit the rest of comment in later others might miss that when replying? Anyway, not that you've actually addressed something in your previous comment I'm going to respond to that. I'm going to ignore what you've said right now because that shit is just too dumb to respond to.
    
    idk, what are YOU gonna do?
    
    I already complained to my government.
    
    are cis people gonna finally fight for trans autonomy or are they gonna act like us having autonomy is too insane?
    
    The fuck are you on about? I'm not against trans people. We should all have humane levels of rights.
    
    are you gonna finally listen to us like when trans sex workers told you a decade ago that banks, the police and payment processors are policing our money or are you gonna let the issue fester because you don't want your family to know you stand with trannies and whores?
    
    Again, the fuck? I'm also pro sex work because sex workers regularly get exploited and I think legalizing and regulation sex work would make their lives safer. Also do you see how insane you act? I disagree with you on one thing and then you automatically assume I also disagree with you on (probably) all the other things. You're turning me into a villain in your own mind, and for what purpose? So you could dehumanize me? You're acting exactly like the conservatives who hate your guts.

  Berating people online who already agree with you is not how you get allies, dumbass.

  What is it about trans people that has them standing up for capital all the time?

    what is it with tankies that has them always forming red-brown alliances instead of supporting trans leftists?

    Afraid I can’t say, I don’t believe China can do no wrong, or that Russia/North Korea are actually socialist, or other similar tankie nonsense.
    
    What I can say is I’ve seen a shockingly large number of trans people standing up for the Visa/Mastercard oligopoly, Israel’s genocidal “military action”, private healthcare over single-payer / public options, etc… This is becoming difficult to ignore.
