First they came for the Trans people, but I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t Trans.
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.
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
And don’t forget conflating trans people and drag queens.
Ever do a drag show? Even if you’re cishet?
Sorry, you’re trans now.
Because they think nothing through. It doesn’t occur to them when they say trans women will rape girls in bathrooms that cis women can rape girls too. It also doesn’t occur to them that forcing everyone to use the changing rooms of their biological sex because “women are uncomfortable with a man changing next to them” means that they will be changing next to people who sure as hell look like men what with the no breasts and the beard. I’m guessing that will make them a hell of a lot more uncomfortable.
“Many countries do not recognise the X gender marker”
Yeah, guess which country also doesn’t do that?

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🚨🚨‼️‼️
Here’s the Internet archive capture of the page originally.
It’s almost like the “You’re just panicking, Transpeople aren’t really being erased.” crowd were full of fucking shit.
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.
Gender is now an anti-social construct
My only question starting today is " when are we going to do a massive protest? "
I’m not saying 3 fat people walking around with copier paper sized art work. I’m talking, millions and millions of people Carrying helicopter readable banners and crates of water bottles to every single downtown.
When is this fuckening? I want to be there. I want it to be a general strike where everything stops. No planes, no cars, no trains. We walk (after a normal commute maybe) and we stay until orange fuck boy gets the boot so hard that he goes flying past the helicopter and into the sunset with pretty boy Vance in his mouth and Elno in his ass.
When???
Random people online call for general strikes all the time but there’s no coordination or planning so nothing comes from them. However, there is one with real potential in the works being coordinated by an established union, United Auto Workers, with support from unions in several other industries. The date will be May 1, 2028, when many unions contracts with no-strike clauses have been coordinated to expire at once, and they are taking time to prepare, organize, and spread the word.
Google 50501
50 states, 50 protests, 1 day.
Feb 5th at your state capitol.
I searched “50501 protest” and got a lot of facebbok, instagram, and forum links. I can’t really find a single site listing all official information.
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.
an attack on a member is an attack on all members!
Yes!
organize with the hope of flipping the legislature in the midterms two years from now.
Jfc, no…
What the fuck more will it take for people to understand that you can’t vote fascism away???!!!
LGB is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen.
I’m not THAT young (born in the 90s) and even I’ve never ever seen LGB as an initialism without the T.
Born in the 70s here. I do remember LGB without the T in the 1990s and early 2000s, you probably were too young to pick up on the term. In any case, trans rights came into the spotlight much later than LGB rights.
A great leap backwards :(
UK here, we have the LGB alliance, no surprises that it’s a bunch of bigots. Transphobia is our chief export after all.
that’s terf island, no surprises there. the US is now trying to beat you at it though. it’s almost guaranteed the laws will be worse and it’s going to be more misogynistic general as well. transphobia is an extension of misogyny.
Next up, they’re going to erase the remaining letters
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. 💪

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.
For people who are so against transgender folk they sure do like to take advantage of gender affirming care.
Elon’s hair plugs and plastic surgery on his face
Fuck anything less than LGBTQIA+. Throw those nazis under some cybertruck abomination.
I’m sorry… this just reeks of “weird, salty old person” to me, like a great grandpa on an incoherent rant from some other time.
I was born in the 90s, just learned that “LGB” used to be a thing, and now can only picture some really racist, old relative of mine using it. Like, can we please not go back to the 1950s, when Trump was raised?
Please keep telling me there’s no genocide of queer people in America. I hear that on Lemmy regularly these days.
Any gender-affirming care for teenagers have been canceled, so the (non-tracked) suicide rate will already skyrocket. However right now the camps are only for “immigrants” and those who get caught by ICE as collateral damage of their hunt; trans people are in second place though. I assume first they’ll come for teenagers as well, ripping them out of their families who’ll get accused of child abuse (for trying to protect their trans kids), then the camps for everyone else will be build.
Any gender-affirming care for teenagers have been canceled
Yeah, I doubt this… cis-boys getting their man-boobs removed, and cis-girls getting breast augmentations aren’t going to have any trouble.
You know gender affirming care isn’t just surgery, right?
I know. I think you missed the point of my comment.
My point is that it’s still going to happen, it’s just being cancelled for trans people.
