Y’all discarded them for something I don’t remember, but anyway, good for them!
lee carter has gone through a cool arc. from demsoc to communist. from cis to not.
Life comes at you fast
I actually got into an argument with them(? Can’t see if they’ve settled on pronouns) a while back on Twitter and they said they’re a construction worker now. Their main problem is that they are way too much of a poster to be in politics
I enjoy being a man
As someone who made a choice to be cis, it’s hard to describe how much I feel this and how I get what he’s saying.
As someone who made a choice to be cis
I would love to hear more about that
Just my drunken two cents, not op, etc:
Idk if it was a choice for me (just who I am?) but this is my position personally after thinking about my gender. I’m amab but have always been vaguely femme(ish) especially my voice. Was constantly misgendered as a kid and even into adult life, especially on the phone. Never enjoyed “masculine” things growing up, hated sports etc, was always at odds with traditional gender expectations. Was constantly told that the things I enjoyed were “not manly”, and that I should be more like the other boys etc. Never once questioned that I was a man, just figured that whatever “being a man” was was absolute BS and didn’t apply to me.
Met my SO in college, and then a few years later when they were going through their gender struggles to realize they were NB, interrogated my own gender and realized that we had a lot of similar experiences. But I sort of landed on that I identified as a man still, just that the overwhelming majority of things that “made someone a man” were absolute horse shit made up by and foisted on me by society etc.
So I guess long story short I identify as a cis man but reject whatever bullshit society wants to put on me as “masculine” or whatever. Idk what anyone wants to label that as, but I’m a man and I’ll do what I want, and whatever that is I consider manly, because I’m a man and I do it so there.
this will be the thing that finally gets me to separate Joshua4Congress and Lee Carter in my brain but also lol I tried to view the tweet and have discovered I have been blocked by Lee…I don’t even tweet at people I just retweet shit so I wonder what pissed them off or specific Chapo-adjacent retweet got me caught in a blocklist
I think they picked a fight with someone from the chapo podcast and people got pissed? Memory is hazy.
HOLY shit that’s what it was hahaha I completely forgot about this, Lee’s girlfriend (at the time) was working for the Joshua4Congress campaign and Felix joked that Joshua was buying gaming keyboards for people because the campaign reimbursed someone like $500 for a surface laptop keyboard. This subsequently set Lee off even though the joke wasn’t even directed at them or their GF LOL.

I’m like 99% sure Lee blocked anyone who interacted with Felix’s tweets about it because I am blocked by them. Thanks for prompting my memory cause I was hella confused initially LOL
Good for them! They were always a good egg
