Lived Experience and experts
- Transgender inner experiences deserve their own autonomous existence regardless of whether cis people understand ...
- I wish people would trust experts on gender identity rather than their own toxic biases [2] -> these two statements are contradictory with each other. the statement that Lived Experiences validate things implies that reactionary Lived Experiences are more valid than what experts or large groups of people believing other things say. the statement that people should "trust experts" appeals to objectivity and against some Lived Experiences.
one of the only arguments that these statements do inherently go together is arguing that representative democracy is the final arbiter of truth — that because the central government (supposedly) operates under a strict imperative to be an anarchy and for all representatives that go there to respect and tolerate each other, if a swath of LGBT+ people all produce experts that make it to Congress and have gotten their papers or themselves into the government that that inherently makes whatever they say true. but even that doesn't really work because it means that if a bunch of people believe in QAnon and they all get their conspiracy theories or themselves into the government then QAnon is true and has to be respected and tolerated just because it's there; if you think that's silly, your heart will sink when you realize that the United States government requires all representatives to respect and tolerate each other's religion and culture for their own sake and for many people QAnon was part of religion, not to mention countable culture (with every implied White-supremacist undertone).
and then there's the fact that practically nobody says both "I'm an anarchist" and "I recognize the Communist Party of China as an anarchy because the CPC congress requires all the regions of China to Rhizome together to agree on policies without competition". especially not charcoal anarchists, but not even blue ones, pretty much only Deng Xiaoping followers themselves actually go around saying anything like that.
blue anarchism is a farce. nothing can make the United States Congress operate like an anarchy on the basis of anarchists' Idealist theories of clouds of ideas Rhizoming together. although, there's just a little hope for saving the concept of anarchies if you strictly define one as a stationary combination of heterogeneous elements that can occur inside many non-anarchist forms of structure, and understand the factors that keep an anarchy stable in a strictly Materialist way. anarchists, ironically, are just about the worst at studying and preserving anarchies.
