Fuck trump. Fuck musk. Fuck this administration. Fuck Republicans. Fuck conservatives. Fuck anyone who voted for a single republican. And fuck most democrats who haven't done shit for us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 minutes ago

Ok, so fuck the system. Just a question though? Is it fucking in a sensual way?

(just want to head off some awkward scenarios)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 minutes ago

That's just a typo. The L, G, and B shouldn't be there either.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 hour ago

First they came for the T...

Then the LGB...

Then the T again...

...then the rest of the ATCG

I fucking warned people that there was going to be a kind of trans genocide. I got told to shut up because "Gaza is a real genocide happening right now"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 minutes ago

Dont blame gaza, blame democrats

Next thing on the list should be locking people in to whatever religion they were born under. /S

Edit: Actually, they'll probably add a P to the end so their leadership will stop getting in trouble.

T stands for “travelers,” right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

donno, i mean it could mean transformers, i've seen the movies, the trilogy, they are great and have big guns.

Remember article 5 of NATO, an attack on a member is an attack on all members! We must show support for the trans and gender nonbinary communities while we organize with the hope of flipping the legislature in the midterms two years from now.

Yes!

Jfc, no..

What the fuck more will it take for people to understand that you can't vote fascism away???!!!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Surely if we ask politely they'll go away right? I mean, happened with hitler, mussolini, and also with franco! Specially with him!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

This is a divide and conquer tactic, trying to turn lesbians into TERFs and gays into whatever the gay man equivalent of that is (TERG?). Don't let it work.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

Speaking of NATO, when do they, I dunno, wanna get involved in removing an obvious bad actor? Actors? I don’t see anyone else bothering, or even coming close to being able to.

[–] [email protected] 131 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

First they came for the Trans people, but I didn't speak up, because I wasn't Trans.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

You know I had a crazy thought yesterday.... I've gone in the bathroom a bunch of times and never once have I tried looking at anybody else's genitalia... Why the hell does anybody care about this?

Edit: I mean not accepting people for being people everybody should just be cool with each other.... What the government is doing is beyond evil and we need to do everything in our power to stop it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You probably also don't watch far right media all day. Fox News and it's spawn have been fear mongering trans people almost non-stop for years now. That's the entire disconnect from the right and normal people

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

I had the unfortunate experience of working with newsmax doing Spicer and Co... I'm well aware of the paradigm of hate these groups propagate needlessly....

[–] [email protected] 61 points 10 hours ago

Reminder that the "LGB Alliance" in the UK literally worked with the Heritage Foundation and described it as "the only possible course of action." It was an op with most of the supporters being straight transphobes trying to sow division. This move has the Heritage Foundation written all over it, they love that tactic, divide and conquer.

Next up, they're going to erase the remaining letters

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

I'm surprised they haven't.

It's a weird one, probably this is because I always try to see the bright side but I have mixed feelings. On one hand writing off just trans and queer people feels even more targeted and evil than deleting all letters.

But on the plus side, the fact that LGB haven't been removed makes me feel slightly hopeful? This is a clear step back obviously. But it makes me feel that finally the idea that gay, lesbian, bisexual people exist and don't need conversion therapy has actually sunk in and we can't be erased so easily.

Now we have to keep pushing to get "TQ" similarly unerasable. 💪

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 hours ago

How does that old saying go?

"First they came for the transgender people, and then they stopped there."

No, that's completely wrong. They're coming after trans people because trans people are the easiest target right now. They also intend to get rid of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, but it's easier to focus on one group at a time and attempt to split people apart.

They did the same shit in the UK with the "LGB Alliance," mostly straight TERFs collaborating with the Heritage Foundation and doing absolutely nothing to advance the rights of the people they claimed to be supporting, focusing entirely on attacking trans people to the point of making alliances with extreme reactionaries and anti-feminists.

Anyone using the "LGB" acronym is either a reactionary using divide and conquer tactics aiming at attacking all LGBT rights, or a useful idiot to said reactionaries. There is no plus side here.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 hours ago

slightly hopeful

He's pulled the gun, but only shot one of us so far. That's good, right? . Right??

Because the Nazis stopped at just Jews, right? Surely they never expanded upon that to encompass all "undesirables", right?

Oh, wait.

Doubt it. The LGB part of the equation aren’t hard for the average Joe to empathize with, they honestly would have skyrocketed in terms of acceptance years ago without the T group. The first 3 letters are just who you’re attracted to, the last letter is who you are and that’s a much bigger deal to a lot of people.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Except, at least to my knowledge, there's nowhere in the Bible that says mentions gender, but a couple of parts where it's pretty explicit about acceptable sexuality.

Doesn't really matter though as these people can't read to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

They're going to ban the Bible too. This isn't about religion, at least not to those in power.

  1. Human Sexuality: We affirm God’s biblical design for marriage and family between one biological man and one biological woman, which has proven to be the foundation for all great nations in Western Civilization. We oppose homosexual marriage, regardless of state of origin. We urge the Texas Legislature to pass religious liberty protections for individuals, businesses, and government officials who believe marriage is between one man and one woman. We oppose the granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for sexual behavior or identity, regardless of state of origin. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose non-traditional sexual behavior out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.
  1. Definition of Marriage and Family: We support the definition of marriage as a God-ordained, legal, and moral covenant only between one biological man and one biological woman. Further, we support a traditional definition of family with only one biological man in the role of father and one biological woman in the role of mother. We are opposed to same-sex parenting, intentionally subjecting a child to the loss of their biological father or mother, and other non-traditional definitions of family
  1. Homosexuality: Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice. We believe there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin, and we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values. No one should be granted special legal status based on their LGBTQ+ identification.

"Many countries do not recognise the X gender marker"

Yeah, guess which country also doesn't do that?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 hours ago

Many of those countries are also considered shitholes.

Looks like I'm waiting 4 years to come out

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 hours ago

I made the unfortunate "choice" (ie suffering from a mental breakdown from repressing it) to come out the week before the election. It was less than ideal. But also, fuck these people, I'm not going back to fucking hiding so some rich shitstain can pretend he cares about anything other than greed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

And officials just go along with it, no pushback at all

"About 70 countries still consider consensual same-sex relations a crime. That list is growing by one more country, hopefully in the next months. Please stay tuned to our new and exciting developments regarding your collective and the hate we profess to it!!"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Every step they take to erase us, I come this much closer to cutting out the people in my life that support him, regardless of his hateful policy. It tears me up inside, because I love them dearly. But eventually something will give, and I won’t hold my tongue any longer.

That’s enough internet for me for today. But who am I kidding? I’ll be back to doom-scroll further. They are winning. They’ve been winning ever since that fuck ran for office.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It wouldn't be productive, but I've been thinking of texting some things at my mom. She hasn't been hostler to me since I came out, but also not accepting with misgendering and dead naming.

I know she voted for him before, and I'm pretty sure she did this time. With the way things are going I will probably never see her again. I want her to know why.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

I know you didn't ask for feedback but if you want another person's perspective, I've cut them all out (trump supporters and bigots), and the people who remain that I feel are still worth trying to maintain or improve the relationship I have been doing what I can to show them the reality of the situation and expose them to the suffering of others that they are shielded from by privilege.

If it were me being misgendered and dead named and otherwise being treated with disrespect by a parent who voted for my erasure, I would also be thinking about cutting them off and telling them how harmful they have been through their behavior and asking how they live with themselves when they're enabling and even cheering on the violation of human rights of so many people in their own country. I would explain how they have hurt me and the problems they have caused or enabled or failed to protect me from. And if I had the energy/capacity for it I would maybe send some links showing the damage 45 has been doing in such a short period of time if I thought it was worth the time, in particular ways he is hurting people that look like that parent or have similar life circumstances, since they don't seem to care about people who don't.

Whatever you end up doing I wish you luck and good outcomes, and safety and peace at home and otherwise. I'm sorry you have such a shitty parent and I can relate in some ways and definitely feel you. You're not alone 💚

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I honestly cannot believe they left the B. Not because bisexuality isnt valid. Just because it seems like exactly the kind of thing Trump's team would say is fake news.

He probably doesnt know what it stands for.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta be patient. As soon as the T's are gone, then they'll start using LG.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

L's are next after B. In their minds women are baby factories, not people with their own sexual orientations!

I’m sure they initially just did a ctrl+f for “lgbt” then someone on truth social who’s totally not obsessed with checking on gay and trans stuff all the time boosted a post about how it still had a reference to ‼️‼️🚨🚨gay shit🚨🚨‼️‼️
