This is the direct result of years of right-wing fear mongering and propaganda and the Trump DOJ’s—once nonpartisan prosecutors—refusal to enforce federal civil rights protections and hate crime laws.

For a brief moment, there was Congressional and governmental support to ensure that children didn't face deportation alone. Then the Trump administration moved to gut the programs, and tens of thousands of kids who have lawyers now may lose them, while hundreds of thousands more go without counsel.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

One important note is enforcement: How does one enforce these anti-trans bills? Genital inspections? Mass chromosome testing? I'll note they tried the later in 1996 in the Olympics, and several cisgender women discovered they have Y chromosomes. Intersex traits are more common than one thinks.

You just voted two weeks ago to ban any mention of LGBTQ people from federally funded schools and to forcibly out trans kids. Don't you dare come here and say happy pride.

In addition to the transphobic rhetoric from the BBC, the ruling in Linehan’s criminal harassment case exemplifies how the justice system deems men of power credible—despite their providing false testimony—while trans women are treated as presumptively untrustworthy.
