Southern States Pushing Forward With Bills Ending Legal Recognition For Trans People
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama all are advancing bills that "define sex" to exclude transgender people from any legal recognition of their gender.
You're viewing part of a thread.
it's just a niche issue that frankly turns some people away. it has nothing to do with republicans, but rather getting centrists and undecided voters into our camp.
It has everything to do with republicans as they are the only ones that are making it an issue.
there are plenty of people on the left that are sick of trans people making everything about them. get out of your bubble.
Trans people making everything about themselves? What the fuck are you talking about? I only ever hear about "trans issues" because of the right. Trans people just want the right to exist.
If you think the trans community trying to defend ourselves from constant attacks equates to "making everything about them", you lack so much empathy that I honestly don't even know where to start.
If your idea of leftism includes disregarding the ongoing genocide of oppressed minorities, I have to question what the hell do you think is "leftism"?
at this point, i'm not even that attached to the 'left'. the two sides have descended into so much tribalism, i forgot what the point was.
once upon a time, i had a naive notion that i might see some kind of new golden age of mankind emerge in my lifetime - an age of reason and humanity, where we used science to reduce suffering globally for all creatures. i believed the left was far more capable of achieving that than a bunch of backwards, christofascist conservatives, but i don't even know if the left is reaching for those goals any more.
all i see now is a bunch of children that are completely obsessed with protecting a tiny fraction of the population at all costs, even if it means alienating anyone not in the lgbt camp. no one cares about the environment anymore. everyone talks about income equality and an end to police brutality but i don't see anyone actually standing up to the fascists. every time the proud boys show up in portland, they just beat the shit out of the locals, who stand helplessly by with their phones out.
the far left used to be willing to blow up banks, train for guerilla warfare, and generally get shit done, but now it's just a bunch of weenies crying about their fee fees. at this rate you'll all be whipped into submission in the next 10 years.
and meanwhile, i'm just sitting here trying to accept that nothing i hoped to see will ever happen, and that i'll go to the grave with no assurance of a better world for the people that come after me.
but hey, at least i won't have to fight in the water wars 30 years from now. i'm just so done with all this shit.
That all the Republicans fault for dragging us back to the stone age.
something you have a say in is never somebody else's fault when it goes wrong. we have known that they were a bunch of knuckle dragging morons, so why did we ever let them have any agency AT ALL? those people should have been put in reeducation camps a long time ago, but instead we let them overturn Roe vs Wade WITH ZERO REPERCUSSIONS. the left has gone soft.
THE ENTIRETY OF ALL THESE SUBS IS SHIT POSTING MEMES. you're all a bunch of do-nothings and i'm sick of it.
So you want to become a Nazis to prevent the neo-nazis from doing more harm? I'm all for armed defense but reeducation camps lead to throwing more and more "bad" people away. Alongside your disregard for LGBT people, you are already willing to throw them to the wolves so you can get your scraps.
