On another thread Gracethedisgrace said that in Greece, the only party who argued against self id, were the communists (I'm guessing they are a more serious party there than here). She posted what they said in parliament. The thinking behind political transactivism sits so uncomfortably with any politics which is collectivist, materialist, and class struggle based. Here are a few extracts (translated by Gracethedisgrace I think - I hope its ok to repost them here), but the whole post is worth looking at on the other thread.
"Individual, subjective experience is made absolute to the detriment of collective experience, in the rejection of objective reality itself, given that the sole criterion is simply, the experience of each individual. Such an obscene distortion of objectivity opens the way for the disfigurement of even the very meaning of 'rights' at all.
"We seek to defend, for example, the need for protective measures for women in the workplace. Hard-won rights such as these have, today, been cancelled. With the rejection of sex as an objective fact and the consideration of it as something that relies entirely on the desire and self-determination of each individual, we are moving even further away from that need to produce, to recognize, and to protect rights on the basis of sex.
"The government with this piece of legislation has as its goal to unhook individual rights from collective social rights, from financial, social, and political conditions. No individual right is guaranteed outside of collective rights; the development of one's self does not happen outside of society; nor can it be left to parental choice.
"The government and the other parties prioritize the same old bourgeois view that proclaims individual responsibility, individual competence, and choice as the greatest human right, with an aim to dissolve and do away with the non-negotiable, ecumenical character of the societal right, on the altar of Individualism.
