I wish ppl were more aware of this, but yeah this is easily the most common form of transphobia on the left. all trans ppl (esp women) are considered ontologically white and middle class+ and transition is cast as a western luxury. This is genuinely going to get us all killed.
notice how USian trans women all become rich and white when it suits your argument that they are fickle, silly, selfish, privileged, that their fears are baseless and their status somehow necessarily opposed to the status of colonized people . i know what u are

GRRM not giving us TWOW when promised is something he did to (speaking rhetorically) "Me," it affects "Me," however slightly. Gaiman hurt "Other Ppl" (women, furthermore) while consistently providing Product to "Me," and since "I" do not empathize with these "Other Ppl," it's nbd
The way people treat GRRM continues to be so fucking bizarre. The general SFF community has regarded his existence with more vitriol for purely fandom related reasons than they have Neil Gaiman, who seems to have been the Harvey Weinstein of literature.

So thing to keep in mind: if this is now the centrist position on the border (and Biden IS a centrist, IS a liberal) then the far-right position must move further to the right. There's no scenario where the right swings left on this. This is going to get worse as the climate does
It's really cool that all over the world the center-left has just adopted far right positions on immigration
