I mean her example’s dumb but like the general idea that some ML movements have had reactionary tendencies is true. Like ML thinkers and movements have been notably queerphobic and especially transphobic. Like both of the notable ML parties in my own country are notorious for their transphobia, to the degree that despite being a massive liberal JK Rowling frequently speaks well of them and even quoted On Authority in support of CPGB-ML once - for all their flaws, the Trotskyite and anarchist orgs in the UK don’t have anywhere near the same level of transphobia within them.
As far as I’m aware the trots don’t have this problem though (and if they do they’re not on the level of publicly putting out things cheering on Rishi Sunak squashing scottish pro trans laws and claiming he’s defending women from male cross dressers entering female only spaces), and some of the anarchists actually helped me get HRT.
To claim it’s just a Britain thing completely ignores all the British far leftist orgs that aren’t transphobic. The only notable ML org to clearly not be transphobic was RFB, which collapsed years ago.
