I partook in the general shitting up of the Cockshott thread (sorry about that). Let's discuss it here instead. Who is most materialist, the gender crits or the genderists? Is Cockshott right? What about the CPGB-ML?
Lets keep that shit contained, and try to be nice to eachother. A trans comrade is a comrade even if there is disagreement.

Why does everyone, even marxist-leninist, care so much about fucking trans people? If they wanna have a surgery or just be called different then what their sex is, why does it matter to anyone? I really don't get this obsession. It a non issue.
The official Zig Forums take tbh
Considering it's 99% of the time about mtf getting their dicks cut off, I think there a lot of dudes who have some freudian complex about castration.
Yes, so what. Even with their cut off dicks they are important to help with the communist revolution.
I think there are some legitimate concerns, though. The medicalization of people who maybe just don't want to fulfill the normal gender roles assigned to them via sex for one, the concern some women have for having female only spaces for the other.
It is normalizing mental illness and even putting it shoulder to shoulder next to homosexuality which isn't a mental illness, it is a decimal number of the population, some 0.03% of it which is presented as some issue on equal grounds with every social issue when it is not. They are such an irrelevant minority but almost all of the western socialist organizations have been subverted by this shit and placed it as a foremost issue, to the point where they would alienate regular people by supporting mental illness and promoting it. I am glad I am an eastern european and that these degenerate western leftists literally don't exist outside of two colleges in the very center of the city, the richest part of the city. Really makes you think when that is the case huh?
Everyone except them is focused on class issues and the only thing they have on their lips is gays, trans and pronouns. Get the fuck out of here, working women work for months without pay then get fired instead of getting it payed off and here you are mouthing off about some assfuckers as if anyone bothers them from doing that shit in their house.
tbh there isn't enough research about transgenderism that dismisses political correctness and looks physiological, psychological and neurological factors so we are only left with history and theories to get a more clear image.
male individuals that acted in a feminine way have existed through out recorded history but were a lot smaller minority than now (inb4 greek; for each 1 homosexual vase there is 1000 that aren't), those individuals had relations with only a certain category of males who enjoyed them or even preferred them to females. those individuals were submissive, had feminine or neutral secondary sexual characteristics, were typically of a young age meaning those individuals had low testosterone levels which could be a possible cause for it. it is also possible that those individuals cope with their incompetitiveness in society by seeking the subservient position
anyways today there are highly masculine transgenders but also today the majority of people cope with their alienation, hopelessness and misery in the most weird ways possible (if you look at them from the perspective of a pre-1900 man). today shock media gets paid and there is a lot of media focus on showing non gender people as mega progressive and futuristic which attracts a lot of people toward it.
some people theorize that hormonal injection of animals causes hormonal imbalances in humans and there are a lot of studies showing that plastic (mostly water bottles) contain xenostrogens.
again a shocker to no one capitalism and consumerism are destroying society.
also insignificant minorities like lgbt don't matter in marxist theory because they have 0 context in politics
Politics of distraction, with corporate feminism to the rescue. I really don't think the current obsession with trans politics arose organically. Also the media can dangle specific politics the way they want in front of an audience like a key chain in front of a child and everyone will start talking about it and not think twice or question it. I don't think its a coincidence it got saturated everywhere after occupy.
I agree with the points you made. I was very bemused when Transexual activist accosted Paul Cockshott not to mention the current Transexual led jihad against the Communist Party of Great Britain (ML).
