In the United States, for over a hundred years, the ruling interests tirelessly propagated anticommunism among the populace, until it became more like a religious orthodoxy than a political analysis. During the Cold War, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

At various points on her interaction with humanity she used to be considered a man, a friend of the sun. Now she is understood to be a woman at least in western cultures. In that manner she is trans. However, she is not assigned any gender at birth because when she was born no humans could gender her. Some cultures still see her as a man, so perhaps she is in fact gender fluid, which is trans.
Surprised the libs haven’t started spreading lies about throwing trans people into conversion camps yet.
Hell, there are trans celebrities such as 金星 or popular uploaders on sites like Bilibili.
Libs: ebil commies are forcibly converting trans people in camps
Chuds: ebil commies are forcibly converting people to trans in camps
Yet again, schrodinger commies and Parenti quote
We’re gonna trans all the cis and cis all the trans people!
And when they get used to that, we’re gonna do it again!![](https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=lemmygrad.ml%2fpictrs/image/c65a3940-1a4c-49ae-afc8-5af4f88103e5.png)
And we’re gonna sneak into people’s houses at night, and wreck up the place!
Stalin personally will break into your house and clean it. Also will confiscate any questionable materials.

I see, thanks for the explanation
Already have. There was a trans Chinese dissident who claimed bad policies led to the s^icide of 40 of her friends… Which is laughable.
