    Default I Am Cait

    Pisses me the fuck off. So, I'm chilling in muh lair and I see this I Am Cait marathon, and I'm like oh awesome. I'm like 47 minutes in. The campy use of Trans community terms is appalling. She treats her assistant like shit, really. The whole premise is basically like, "no one gave a shit before Cait cuz she's a huge celebrity, therefore fuck all other existing Trans advocates she's the figurehead so hooray." Then when it comes to houseless transgender and gender non-conforming youth she was like totally conservative and was more or less snubbing her nose as people receiving aid; she thought that a job was enough. The usual "but if you give people aid they'll be lazy an parasitical." All of this pissing off the other women in the show. That's pretty much the whole tenor of the show is some bourgy broad absorbing everything from activists. Idk, it's awesome a show like this is out there but Jesus Christ dude

    Anyone else we it?

    "The mere fact that most states are obliged today to spend from fifty to seventy percent of their annual income for so-called national defence and the liquidation of old war debts is proof of the untenability of the present status, and should make clear to everybody that the alleged protection which the state affords the individual is certainly purchased too dearly."

    Haven't watched it so I can't make an honest judgement, but based on some reviews I know it's basically The Kardashians with some semblance of relevancy to current events. Either way, it's reflective of the innate frictions within the LGBT movement and inter-class movements in general. After the main goal (same-sex marriage, official acceptance, end to public discrimination, etc.) is achieved, the movement splinters to reflect the intersectionality of multiple identity dimensions: white feminists vs minority feminists, rich POC over poor POC, the list goes on and on. The consequences of "respectable" politics are shown again and again, only to be forgotten as advocates for oppressed groups try to shmooze their way to acceptance instead of cooperating with one another to promote a radical and universal (or near-universal) programme.

    She's a conservative white woman with a penchant for attention seeking. The show is about what I expected from her.

    It's a lot easier if you're a rich fuck to be trans. Maybe you'll get to share on television the story of painful five hour surgeries which no one else of us could ever hope to afford.
    The revolutionary despises public opinion. He despises and hates the existing social morality in all its manifestations. For him, morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. Immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way.
