Yeah, those posts were in response to people being completely shitty about it.

Do you need me to link to some previous discussions where there are accusations of someone being an accelerationist who prefers Trump because they criticized Newsom? Because that was just yesterday. That’s not even touching the people who flat out say ‘I am absolutely willing to sacrifice trans rights because everyone else is more important’.

    Don't trans people already have the same rights as other people? The things happening to them are prejudice.

    No.

    It is illegal for trans people to use the bathroom corresponding with their gender in 13 states. (Drop down menu to change maps)

    It’s illegal to update your gender markers on ID in 3 states.

    Over half of states prevent trans youth from even playing in school sports.

    In 10 states it’s not considered a hate crime to attack a trans person for being trans.

    Conversion “therapy,” proven to be psychologically damaging, is legal in almost half of states, including against youth who can’t say no to it.

    It’s legal to discriminate against trans people in housing in almost half of states.

    18 states allow employers to fire someone for being transgender.

    The funny thing about trans people is that they also care about having an administration full of insane clowns enabling climate catastrophe, the next pandemic, and the Gaza genocide.

    You would think this incredibly basic understanding of the political leanings of the average trans person would get us a little solidarity from Democratic leadership, but we can all go fuck ourselves the second a blue dog dem starts crying about being scared of pronouns apparently.

    You don’t have to fuck yourself. But you might be asked to hold your nose and vote even if you can’t compete on the sports team you want. I’m actually unclear when that became a human right. I am far more concerned for your physical safety under another Trump administration.

    even if you can’t compete on the sports team you want

    It never, ever stops there. And if you view the participation of trans people in public life as a nice thing that we get as a treat when times are good, then yeah, you are kind of telling us to go fuck ourselves.

    It should make you stop and think when LGBT leaders and organizations within California are condemning his statements.

    I am far more concerned for your physical safety under another Trump administration.

    The fact you don’t connect pushing trans people out of public life with the exact transphobia that endangers us is why you need to listen to us instead of deciding you know best and lecturing us about it.
