It’s almost like the “You’re just panicking, Transpeople aren’t really being erased.” crowd were full of fucking shit.
Fuck anything less than LGBTQIA+. Throw those nazis under some cybertruck abomination.
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.
When people remember that Transpeople are neither their enemies nor where this ends.
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.
Now we’re talking!
I don’t know, what about next sunday ?
Fine. I’m Here near Seattle on the north side. Its bitter cold and dry. It’s supposed to snow. But if I hear even 3 fat people going downtown, I’m joining! I’m fucking fat too.
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?
Any trans people reading this comment, who are around 18- 25 years old. Germany and some other countries offer a social year, where you work over here for a year. You get to live here, have healthcare etc. Only cache is that you gotta work in a social sector job. Sometimes people can manage to make it two years. So if you are looking for a temporary way out, check it out. There is nothing you can lose by trying to do that year.
Edit: For anyone checking this out, it’s called FSJ, or Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr. Some info here: https://bak-fsj.de/ (German) https://en.life-in-germany.de/voluntary-year-in-germany/ (some general information)
Sincerely, correct me if I’m wrong, but reading through info on this it looks like you’re not cleared to do paid employment on the necessary visa for this. If someone opts for this (it does look like a cool program, and I have some people in mind where it’d be an excellent fit if they can swing it), you’re going to need funds for self-support in advance (similar to other programs like this - WOOFing etc.)
If you have the means to do this, definitely looks worth exploring though. Obviously gonna have to learn German (what I’m seeing suggests at a B1 level, though noting some roles may accept a lower level of fluency).
I think this was done by elon as reveange from the woke brain virus for killing his son
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 :(
This sort of thing is exactly why I say “queer” instead of using initials. Because you can keep adding more initials all day and you’re still going to be leaving people out that should be counted and you can take initials away like those people never counted to begin with. And it’s very easy for cishet people to ignore any of those letters individually and still act like they’re an ally.
“Queer” may have negative roots, but it seems to be generally accepted as an inoffensive term today and, I think, more reflective of sexuality as a spectrum. I wouldn’t mind a better word to use without those negative roots, but I just can’t think of one.
This does seem rather practical as a catch-all term. LGBTQ+ is much too cumbersome
I’ve already heard a bunch of queer people around the internet use “queer”, so I guess it just needs more adoption
Queer is so much easier to say and is becoming safer to use without someone assuming you’re using it negatively.
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.
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
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?

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.
Ok, so fuck the system. Just a question though? Is it fucking in a sensual way?
(just want to head off some awkward scenarios)
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”

Its not the dems. Its that broken two party shithole of a system. Its designed to pin partys against each other and make a show of it.
Neither party has any interest in the people, a third option has never been viable afaik and everyone and their mom was manipulating the shit out of everyone.
The spread of disinformation was so bad I had to ban everything that was related to the elections.
People need to organize, get orange man out and take out that whole election system in one fell swoop. Direct vote counts, multiparty system, then take out the ability to donate more than 1000$ to a party, then take out the billionaires who own the media and the huge conglomerates.
The whole situation is directly explainable through absence of any actual left wing politics. No social net, no housing, no healthcare, nothing.
The US is a perfect example of 30 years of toxic positivity and ignorance of spreading problems.
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.
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.
They think nothing through, then get angry when anyone has the gall to point obvious shit out to them.
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.
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…
Yeah I mean to say it’s not your sole source of information. I’m sorry you had to go through that
That’s just a typo. The L, G, and B shouldn’t be there either.
