the problem with anarchists is that they're rich kids playing at revolution, eventually they become 'radical centrists' or neoconservatives

I worry that this will never happen and after trans are accepted we will see the rise of a new social rights movement for some other fridge sexuality or identity.

It won't happen if things continue as they are indefinitely, but I don't think that's the case. In a sense that margins always exist, a particular demarginalization doesn't change the status of The Margin proper. But the marginalizations today are not rational, even if they are often rationalized, they have nothing going for them but historical inertia. Moreover, they're not aware of themselves as both self perpetuating and symptomatic I.e. - Those People Are Just Like That, it's not a result of environmental influence, what we do doesn't matter.

But I think eventually, with advances in psychology and technology, a total normalization is possible, even if The Margin still exists - the abnormal are recognized as just acting normally, even if something you may not like is not simply not a matter of choice, them acting that way is normal given their historical context.

As with all people, sometimes that's acting selfish, sometimes that's acting from a pure expression of positive humanity.

So you think being transgendered is a choice huh? Otherwise it seems to me that an equal number of those workers would also benefit from the acceptance of queer identities in employment practices

Yeah the exact same amount of proles will be benefited as the rest of the population: about .03 percent, yaaawwn.

I'm sure G$ and Co. will find another, equally emancipatory cause to champion when LGBT get to the promised land.

I think you should be wary of propaganda. But judging evil people for doing good things is in itself evil. You are turning your cause into a means of moral superiority, prejudice and hate. That's what's eating the left.

You saying Goldman Sachs supporting trans rights won't help poor people is the exact same kind of childish deflection as Hillary clinton saying fixing Wall Street won't solve racism and sexism.

Agreed. But context needs to be examined.

For example, Goldman Sachs paid for employee transitions back in 2008, and probably earlier.

So what's significant about flying a flag now? Why didn't they fly a flag in 2008?

The reason is politics, and if a company wants to "play politics" you have to evaluate their actions politically.

And my evaluation is that like all large companies, they give zero poo poo about anything but making money, and flying a flag in 2016 is a net positive on the balance sheet. They should not be lauded for that, at all.

If anything they should be dissolved even quicker, since they, like Hillary Clinton, are using others persecution for political means, with no other concern.
