We're not allowed to point out that the liberal justices on the Supreme Court helped pave the way for this when they voted unanimously that trans women are not women under Title IX

this is the rape culture btw. the one women have been warning you about, and were told we were hysterical and over-sensitive and couldn't take a joke, and that rape allegations ruin men's lives, and now we live in a meritocracy where the only "merit" is who has hurt the most women

When Elton wrote the statement quoted below, Japanese, European and American eels were extraordinarily abundant species When Elton died (1991) all three had collapsed Everything has gone nothing but worse since then, and other eel species are now following that same extinction path (see post below)

trans people are also just flatly correct to rage at Dems for wavering on trans rights because immigration advocates did not do so when Dems started wavering on immigration under Obama and that led us to Biden adopting Trump I immigration policy almost wholesale

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

The last 5 years have seen the largest rollback of civil rights of a minority group in modern US history. It's caused a mass internal displacement and refugee crisis that per capita is worse than the great migration in both scope and timescale. It's unprecedented.

Cis folks really don't understand what it's like to have who you are made into a political scape goat for 5 years straight with legislation targeting every aspect of your life. And then, the only political party that pretends to care is slowly being pushed to abandon you as a political albatross.

The case stems from a violent anti-ICE protest, but critics say the government's prosecution threatens First Amendment rights.

Every time I see an American claim that trans people kill their own support, I think about how in the UK, self ID polled majority support until the media attacked it. When Labour accepted self ID should die, we were told to let them win, it would get better. Now we have a bathroom ban. Fuck you.
