In this thread people have insinuated that you are an abuser if you criticise IP.
Cooked, I'm truly sorry if you or anyone else thinks this is what I was insinuating. I tried to be clear that I wasn't saying this, and I hope you will reread my post http://libcom.org/forums/theory/poverty-identity-politics-21052018?page=...
I will just quote the bit where I tried to make this explicitly clear
I almost don't want to make this post because I don't want to make Noa or anyone else think I'm blaming them for abuse that other people commit. That's not my intention. I also assume you're as disgusted and upset by abusive behavior as me or anyone else here.But still, the point must be made that there are harmful repercussions of blanket dismissal of identity politics, feminism, etc.
Honestly, I don't want to accuse anyone of having blood on their hands for abuse, other than the abusers.
I'm also not saying we shouldn't criticize various theories or practices that occur in identity politics. I believe this critique is important, but that we need to be careful to do so in a way that makes it clear that we support oppressed people combating oppression.
Honestly I am sick to death of defending my existence.
This is not something that any person should ever have to go through.
And the worst part is, that finding so much sympathy for transphobia in the left means that we never know if we are safe. It's exhausting. Don't be surprised when we're spiky.
