My bad, thought this was a good faith callout.
I still apologize to my trans comrades for the thread in question. It inadvertently reinforced TERF discourse, & I've deleted it at the request of trans folks.
I'm never going to apologize for calling out fash enablers, though.

It's absolutely fair to call out shit that reinforces hateful narratives.
Impact > intent.
The impact there was that I hurt my trans comrades by unintentionally saying shit that made it seem like I agreed with TERFs.
I didn't then, I don't now, but that doesn't make it okay.

Intersectionality isn't a barter system.
"stop calling out antisemitism or I won't forgive you for fucking up on trans issues" isn't how liberation works.

You don't have to accept my apology, but you also don't get to demand that I stop being an ally to Jewish people because I fucked up on trans issues.
that's blatantly manipulative bullshit.
Nice try.
