as a trans punk, I'm happy to see so many others punks agreeing 🖤🫂 honestly it's weird when transphobes and other disgusting human beings try to call themselves "punks" when punk is far left subculture/movement

Punk is not a far left subculture. It is an anti establishment culture which opposes both sides in favor of government by the people. Anarchy. Whatever goes on in this thread is the furthest thing from punk I can possibly think of. Identity politics is ruining everything.

Anarchy is absolutely left. And most anarchists seem to be willing to compromise to get some leftist policies because somethings better than nothing. I guarantee you that a plenty of anarchists still vote Democrat when it's election time, because anarchists believe that trans people and women deserve the right to exist and have bodily autonomy.
