Those two aren't mutually exclusive.
I haven't met many (any?) Antifa members and wouldn't begin to categorize them, but a person can both want non-binary genders and throw bricks.
- ben_w 2y agoI belive the claim is that *saying* "only weak people need extra genders" is incompatible with also *saying* "they are physically dangerous due to capacity for violence". The comment does not itself appear to be making the claim "wanting extra genders is weak", but rather is criticising those who do say that.
- _heimdall 2y ago> It's not saying "wanting extra genders is weak", it's criticising those who do say that. Sure, I get that. I wasn't trying to make that point. I take issue with the idea that weak people can't be violent or physically dangerous. It depends a bit on what kind of weakness they mean, but physically weak people can still throw bricks or pull triggers and emotionally weak people can still lash out when they feel they have no other choice. I'd actually argue that weak people are more likely to be more violent if/when they do lash out because it may be a last resort for them. Bottle things up for too long and they tend to blow up.
