America is the least patriotic country I can fricking imagine. People living in slums in actual 4th world shitholes have more national pride than we do. Redditors need to go outside.

Hating your country is a bit of a weird thing for most of the world and seems to mostly be an anglo thing

In the UK we have reasons for it; our kings and nobles are foreign invaders that have driven us like cattle to foreign wars for things we don't care about or conscripting us to conquer third world shit holes so they can brag about it to their foreigner mates since time began. The relationship between rulers and serfs has always been of antagonism, no amount of jingoistic propaganda is going to convince anyone but the most r-slurred that the empire is something to be proud of or that we fought the second world war out of some high minded nobility.
We were forced into those conflicts at the end of barrel pointed into our backs by our own leaders, we died and endured horrendous poverty to build this great British edifice and at the end we were worse off than we started. Frick the commonwealth, frick England, frick the monarchy and frick parliament. Their all ladygardens and you'd have to be terminally thick to believe a word out of their crooked mouths.

Let us count the ways...
overpriced bullet trains
floor-to-ceiling stalls around every potty and urinal (wat)
more bike lanes and more buses that people won't use
someone to count for me (cannot compute tax
)
shemales
stuff that costs <$5 that I'm too lazy to do myself or even pay for.

This book is absolutely indistinguishable from racist eugenics. It proves the point that transphobia and racism are intertwined. Trans men are men, and not erasing women in any way. Go read Stone Butch Blues, its free and way better.
Aside from the literal cover of the book being an homage to racist anti-black propaganda, trans people exist in all indigenous cultures, including Judaism.
Imposing the WASPy British imperialist values of gender as if they are the only correct way is indeed racist.
