I don’t appreciate the genocide of me and my communities being denied

I don't appreciate the struggle of me and my communities (trans and disabled, just like you claim to be!) being used as a wedge in a despicable attempt to steer the conversation away from Wynn's genocide denial. It's hilarious that you're accusing us of genocide denial because we're telling you... not to defend genocide denial. That's some sick and twisted logic.
Then why are you trying to deny or trivialize the genocide of Palestinians? A genocide that itself includes the slaughter of trans people and disabled people? I notice you didn't respond to what @[email protected] said because it completely undermined your attempt to use trans and disabled people to deflect and defend a genocide denier.

because it’s not the same as the graphic vids you watch

I don't watch "graphic vids" but I do inform myself of what's actually happening in the world rather than deny the reality or pretend my own plight is the only one that should matter, like you are doing. Also shame on you for your transparent attempt to make it sound like having knowledge of the brutal carnage that Palestinians are subjected to is just a lurid desire for shock value.

Do better and read about genocide if that’s something you’re genuinely interested in.

Do better and read more about western chauvinism, intersectionality, and even trans liberation outside the imperial core and your highly privileged position there. Relieve yourself of your petty chauvinist ignorance. I can already tell I've read more about genocide than the sum of your entire reading of leftist theory. My god, talk about larpers.

The genocide we face is silent,

Oh fuck OFF. You are talking to largely trans and majority queer people here and telling them to stop talking about the genocide of Palestinians, to stop criticizing a fascist-flirting liberal who is saying the genocide is really nbd guys! You're telling a trans community they're "scapegoating" someone who is using her platform to push fascist, Zionist talking points. Grotesque hypocrite. You: "The genocide we face is silent, so stop talking about genocide denial and stay silent."

I’m not comparing it to kids being physically maimed by bombs and saying “but we have it bad too”,

That's exactly what you did and are doing. In fact you did worse, you tried to tell us we shouldn't even be talking about Wynn's hand-waving away of children murdered by the tens of thousands because "I have it bad too!"

I’m saying that it literally meets the criteria in many similar ways.

What you and I both experience as trans and disabled people in the west is not anywhere near the magnitude of what the people of Gaza are experiencing, including the trans and disabled people being murdered there as a part of that genocide, which Wynn, and now you, are trivializing and trying to shift the conversation away from.

I’ve watched the far left neglect caring for their own communities while LARPING at protests for almost two decades now.

What does that have to do with criticizing a genocide denier? The fact that there hasn't been a far left movement in the west for decades has nothing to do with the fact that we need to call out genocide denial and ridicule the people who use their platform to do it. Oh, I see... you're trying to say that people who protest US imperialism and the mass murder it commits all over the world are just larpers who are "neglecting their own communities." Bull fucking shit. The people most active in opposing imperialism are invariably also the ones most likely to be there doing the real work to help the oppressed and marginalized around them. Once again, you're trying to weasel in this idea that it's not possible to do both, that they are even in conflict, when the truth is the exact fucking opposite: these two things, opposition to genocide abroad and resistance to oppression at home, can't be separated and working towards one will always be a benefit to other as well. If one is a principled leftist (which you very clearly are not) they oppose oppression in all forms, and they certainly don't do what you're doing by trying to separate and silence. This tactic of trying to divide intersectional issues, exactly what you're trying and failing to do here, is a well known tactic the rightwing deliberately uses to undermine the left. And I have a strong suspicion that is what is actually happening here as well.

It’s death by a thousand cuts and the worst are from people who are performative radicals.

Yes. And anyone with eyes can see that the performative radical here is you.

Your comment is pretty shitty tbh, you remind me of myself when I existed in a bubble of radical leftism online around 2010.

I've been an activist since the 90s. And everything you've said is very revealing that you don't know shit about what you're talking about, kid. As for how "shitty" my comment was, I'll let the upvote ratio speak for itself here, lol. I'm glad to see that your bullshit is apparent to everyone reading.
