Not defending the most vulnerable groups makes everyone else *more* vulnerable, not less.
And just to drive a point home for the #GavinNewsom of this world:
You think that #fascists give a single fuck about #women's #sports? You're finding common cause with people who are unconvinced #women should be allowed to vote, & you're taking them at their word?
@Faithslayer202 Sad but true.
@Faithslayer202 Every word of this thread.
@Faithslayer202 jokes on them because I’m ready to go to war for my trans fam!
@Faithslayer202 It's the thin edge of the wedge - first they came for the trade unionists....
@Faithslayer202
And they’re starting with one of the smallest groups of special populations. It will grow from there. The hatred, the “otherism” and the abuse will snowball.
They're the sociopolitical low-hanging fruit.
@Faithslayer202 Sometimes I wish I had the means to plaster signs with the abridged text of "first they came for" all across the entire nation.
@Faithslayer202 interesting point, so finding common cause is not just to unite forces schoolyard bully style (how is uniting forces even needed when it comes to such a small and vulnerable group) but a form of validation, making the evil equal the good. Yes? So what's their end game then, that these gender tactics are supposed to help accomplish? Throughout the last election cycle I thought it was just populism to garner votes.
@Faithslayer202
Musk feels that one of his sons is dead, because she is fully transitioned, and I can't help thinking that he is targeting them, as a group, because of this.
So, his parental 'love' only lasts as long as a child is what he thinks they should be.
@Faithslayer202 Unfortunately you're probably right. None the less-fascists Need someone to hate. Still Trans people are as human as they or I. Ignorant Prejudice serves no perfect society.
@Faithslayer202 And I'm here to tell you that in my case, that's wrong. I'm a cis white guy, and I will defend with my life any trans person whose life is threatened, and put myself in between them and anyone who threatens their safety or dignity.
@Faithslayer202 very true, and also because the existence of trans people defies rigid sex and gender roles that make it easier to control the populace. That freedom to live as you are is super dangerous to authoritarians.
@Faithslayer202 I don't know trans history, but at least I know that there are trans people in Finland who have lived as themseves for over 30 years. At least. And Finland is probably lagging behind the rest of the world in this matter. I wish I could somehow fight American stupidity, but it feels like a hopeless swamp.
(Without offending the boys of the backwoods, I want to say that the American national anthem can be played on banjos in the future.)
