Jumping off of not being able to produce everything in your community; iirc I've seen it said that decentralized production (a la the kind anarchists advocate for) is transphobic due to inevitable difficulties in getting access to hormones in particular.

I don't have anything to add beyond that; just felt that it needed to be said.

Not transphobic. Jst making it difficult to BE a trans person, who also transitions.

Honestly, without a central government, how will large scale projects that benefit the nation/country/whatever, that do NOT benefit the smaller community, get done?

For example, insulin needs to be made for the good of the larger community, but there is no need for it in your town, as no one is diabetic.

Or hormones and trans people. Or fucking electricity. or whatever.

The "making it difficult to be a trans person" is why I think it was seen as inherently transphobic.

I mean, isn't what you just said one of the many reasons we find anarchists to be so fucking frustrating?

Eh, not wanting to start a fight, but i gotta disagree.

That's like describing a communist revolution as inherently transphobic, as the disruption of a successful revolution would make hormone production difficult.

Gotta look at the context. The intent.

That's just it though; for a marxist revolution, it's a transitory thing, in the aftermath things should get better for trans people. The people that want decentralized production want it to stay that way. One is a temporary sacrifice, the other is a change to society that would permanently make it harder to be trans as an inherent aspect to how production is done.

Sure, but they will just hand wave that away.

Because there is no plan for anarchism.
