So support to diversity of transgenderism and sexual orientation is ‘leftist’ to socially conservative European diaspora who only want transgender and homosexual people to exist solely as fanservice to heterosexual men?
From bourgeois perspective, LGBTQIA people are specialty menu items for consumption. Keeping the majority of them oppressed, isolated, and precarious keeps them in accessible supply for exploitation and then disposal, leaving the satisfied consumer free to return to their respectable family life. The neoliberal turn has come with the innovation of allowing LGBTQIA assimilationist tokens to gain high profile, to pacify and demobilize queer liberation, while the exploitative dynamic remains intact overall.
This, 100000%… and this is as a trans POC who has been exactly that, even did a small talking bit once for (insert certain corpo here)…
Even if some, or many people might have sympathies with all the minorities (LGBT minorities, religious and ethnic and racial minorities, etc) or for the developing world, womens’ rights, or the working classes, etc. they ultimately are part of the system that’s the problem, that churns up our lives (and particularly and with discriminatory preference, our lives) for profit. We’re menu items, and nowadays we’re also items which they use to absolve themselves of guilt and convince themselves they’re not monsters, though they won’t end the broader system of exploitation (they’ll just create plausible deniability/distance to the direct exploitation at best, and when pushed they’ll mostly go fascist as they always do).
Capitalism has always commodified those it oppresses, but now it also sells indulgences, just like the Catholic church of old.
