You need to realize the privilege you have to say this. There is a mass erasure of people going on.

Acknowledging the world has issues, and active removal of that acknowledgement is not just fucking "politics." It's about humanity. It's about respecting people. It's about progress.

This is being done to appease the same fat shithead nazi who is scrubbing Trans from the government. Who is stoking fear into the lives of millions because of the ACTIVE effort to suppress them and their concerns.

And this isn't only a US issue. There's been a clear push towards fascism worldwide for a while.

You don't see that because you have some kind of privilege, or you just idiotically have your head in the sand.
