actually, in my experience, i agree with him.

indigenous sovereignty has been a theme on the left for a while. but, few people seem to realize just how conservative traditional indigenous culture really is in regards to things like gender roles. see, they might have a few extra roles, but erecting this "trans" role and then enforcing it on people isn't really a lot better than erasing it. i'm more into how the greeks did this (with caveats).

i'm consequently led to believe that if we ever had an actualization of indigenous sovereignty, the people i would really have solidarity with would be the people transcending the norms that keep it in place, and trying to overturn it.

i grasp that there are groups that want more control over their lives. and, i don't want to take away their agency. but, i think we're all better off looking past this.
