Transphobia is intrinsically linked to racism, especially anti-black racism; the way white people masculinize black women is disgusting, always coming down to jokes or even serious insistence black women are actually men. You can see it implemented in the Olympic policy on testosterone and the way TERF ideology insists that gender conforms to the white definition of femininity.

In fact, it’s possible the current wave of transphobia is only getting noticed because it’s affecting white gender non-conforming women enough to make the news. This shit has been happening to cis black women the entire time.

How creepy is it that Republicans want genital inspections to enforce cis gender identity. Fascist fucking party needs to go away

It’s “14 words” shit, a “new” way to expand blood and soil racism. (Like I said above, homophobia and transphobia are very much linked to old fashioned klan-style racism)
 
The drummer (? I think) for Phish also wears a dress during their concert, and isn't going to stop iirc.

I expect the law will be selectively applied in ways to make it most politically convenient to the people in power, which is to say nobody's going to arrest Phish, because it'll make for bad press. But they'll crack down on trans people and queer people who don't have the resources to defend themselves. That "in group who is protected but not bound" versus "out group who is bound but not protected" thing.

Dodgers rescinded their invitation to Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to participate in Pride Night after Marco Rubio complained. A senator from Florida.

Dodgers said it was due to the strong feelings of bigots. It has been pointed out that many had strong feelings that Jackie Robinson should not be allowed to play Major League baseball.

The Sisters raise thousands of dollars for charities annually. They have personally cared for people with AIDS whose Christian families threw them out.

Unlike the church, no Sisters have molested children.

I kinda wonder what it must feel like to be a useful idiot for grifters.

Gosh, I wish I could ask someone what it feels like. It would be so interesting to see if they can recognize they've been duped.

I worked at Target after high school around the holidays. If some bigot would have hassled me about some mesh on swimsuits or rainbows on tshirts I would have told them to fuck right off. Go ahead and fire me. I feel for their staff, they obviously don't deserve this bullshit, but Target should have done something else. What a bunch of cowards.

In so called blue states, where LGBTQ rights are codified, there has still been a huge increase in harassment and violence especially against trans people. The results of haters don't stop at state borders.

See the cancellation of pride day at a SE Portland school because of called in threats by right wing terrorists in Portland, fomented by Lars Larson.
