Politics The NEW Transgender thread

[riverman]

I have two kids here and while their mom and my family (mom, sister) have given me permission to flee, I’m living paycheck to paycheck so saving up enough will be rough. My 401(k) is already earmarked for my kids’ college so it’s a last resort to spend that.

To your point though, I have thought about it, but I don’t know if it’s realistic at this point without being so selfish I ruin my kids’ lives to do it.

completely understandable...I didn't know you had kids

I bet your kids would rather have you be alive than have college paid for.

Keep your head down, find your allies, and hope this is a storm we can ride out together. If you need a basement to hide out in, let me know.

Thanks, that's a good perspective. If it comes to that, I'll let you know.

Trans people are the Jews of Trump America.

I think my only path forward, pragmatically, is to reverse my legal/paperwork transition (which was only partially finished), get my deadname's passport renewed, and maintain as much flexibility as I can in where I end up, just in case. I want to live.

I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. This isn't right.

They are trying to play divide and conquer in our community. Tell gays and lesbians if we separate ourselves from trans people we can keep some civil rights and won't be hurt ... too much.
They are lying. It's all in Project 2025 including ending marriage equality.

No, it's damned well not.

Still waiting for them to put up the new constitution.

Don't tempt them lol

Or the Palestinians, if our reference point is Israel

My reference point is Germany 1932.

Hey, I see no reason why this tactic should fail now. Witness all the non-whites who went for Trump because they liked his tough talk on immigration.

Never put your faith in people, is the lesson.

I got bad news, America has been DIY’ing Hitler Reinstatement Therapy on the down low since 1945.

I am fairly principled but if you handed me ten million dollars to shut up and go away, I would do both happily.

All of this, and I mean ALL OF THIS horseshit: the fear, the hate, the laws, the tantrums, ALL OF IT, comes from people who think the worst man is superior to the best woman. Period.

Yes. And most unqualified stupid shit but superior to any person of color.

Fucking shit headed bigot. Destroying women's rights? Not overturning legal abortion. Not declaring any woman hired is automatically unqualified. Not making it harder to report rape. Not a rapist president filling his cabinet with rapists. Not gap between black and white women's maternal mortality increasing. Not still being paid less. Not Americans preferring to vote for an unqualified senile bloviater simply because he is white and male.

No, it's the grand total of ten trans women in women's college sports.

Go fuck yourself and I am not reading your stupid books.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Reading projection from accusations, the lesson I’m taking from all this is that, if women athletes got paid as much as the men, mediocre cis men would 100% pretend to be trans to grift that money.

which sounds like a problem with cis men

 

[Everything Beagle]

The system just can’t conceive that someone would actually just want to be a woman. They’ve invested so much effort into making womanhood miserable that anyone wanting that must be hiding something. But no, it’s just that we want to be women despite all of the misery put upon women by the system.

Barely even nees anymore. Antigay writer who accused us of grooming children arrested for rape of child under the age of 12.

We needed a study for this?!?

Studies show that Homopobic/Transphobic people have lower intelligence

Protests outside Stonewall national monument after web site deleted all references to trans and queer people.

Rachel Maddow likened it to forbidding Cooperstown from talking about baseball.
