fuck every democrat who says the issue of trans rights is a “distraction.” fuck every single liberal who say that the threat of stripping every trans person of legal recognition is a red herring or a losing issue and if we focus on it too long we’ll throw the election. we’re talking about human rights, access to medical care, sex education, discrimination, citizenship, and a whole lot else, for millions of people.
trans people aren’t a “distraction.” we’re human beings. the fact that so many liberals turn their backs on trans people is fucking despicable.
“In a television ad released May 9, Brian Kemp—who serves as Georgia’s secretary of state and was formerly a state legislator—suggests he intends to personally detain and remove immigrants from the country. “I got a big truck,” he says, climbing into a pick-up truck, “just in case I need to round up criminal illegals and take ’em home myself.” He then adds with a smirk: “Yep, I just said that.””
i’d love to be able to say, “oh, they’re just kids, they don’t need to be 100% radical whatever all the time.” except that a) they’ve built a mass movement and b) made specific policy demands.
these demands are resoundingly backwards – expanding police presence on campus, opening up police access to medical records and criminalizing disabled bodies, asserting the need for militarized police forces – and now have mass support from an uncritical base that’s backing them on the grounds that they’re being made by students. the amount of facebook posts i’ve had to crawl between praising their ability to ‘speak truth to power’ is astonishing; sure, they’ve stood up to the (also reactionary) NRA and rightist senators, but that alone does not a platform make.
I will update this post with a link explaining each bill – which has far-reaching and devastating consequences for Americans, especially low-income Americans – in a very short bit.
No Federal civil rights law shall be interpreted to treat gender identity or transgender status as a protected class, unless such law expressly designates “gender identity” or “transgender status” as a protected class.
tr*mp just called trans people a burden on twitter……… like it was nothing……….. like it was just a normal thing to say in front of millions of people…… …. ……,, don’t tell me again he doesn’t use every opportunity to strip away rights from those who need it the most
and to my trans followers, you are not a burden. don’t let this rotten carrot get in the way of letting you shine, fuck 45 and fuck all of his supporters. they ain’t nothing compared to how ethereal and beautiful y’all are 💕💕💕💕
I feel the mountains burn inside
