I don't care about their safety anymore. They don't care about mine. What's that phrase they like to regurgitate? FAFO?
Hope you're fucking happy.
I'm not gonna contest that there's an unfortunate number of countries where it's illegal to be LGBTQ+. However it's not "just a handful" where it's legal, stop talking out of your ass.
Go look for yourself if you want to see where it's actually illegal. Not on my short list of vacation spots. https://www.humandignitytrust.org/lgbt-the-law/map-of-criminalisation/
"Hey everyone, I'm a trans gamer wh-"
:gets flagged, demonitzed, and mass reported:
Yes, some people are that sensitive. No, I did not just exaggerate. I would never wish for your identity to be boiled down to a "sensitive societal issue". It should be a non-issue. They are wrong for doing this.
No, I'm not gonna give you mine
He's hanging out in the passenger side of his best friend's ride, trying to holler at me?
No. Clearly the solution is to continue to abandon anyone outside the US because they don’t matter. /s
Good to know our American citizens mean fuck-all to you then.
But more directly: HOW are you going to work on it? Who is gonna do that? The capitalist/imperialist who you’ve pledged your vote to unconditionally?
It's not unconditional. If you root yourself in reality for a few minutes, you'll see we have three choices:
- Mask-off Fascism
- Imperialism/Neoliberalism that appears to at least kinda court progressives.
- Burn it all down, fucking the most amount of people in the process.
Which are you picking? I don't see any actionable grand solutions or saints coming from you and your ilk. I do not have answers on how to fix it, and I doubt :checks watch: 6 days before the election is enough time to figure it out.
To be abundantly clear, I do not like these choices. None of them. The only one I can stomach is the second one, and there does not appear to be any viable alternatives right now.
But trans rights weren't a big focus for Dems. In fact we were routinely dismissed or outright thrown under the bus. The article talks about that, the GOP completely outspent on trans rights by 9x. At best, Dems promised to simply keep our existing rights. We showed up despite that, so they managed to reach us and our loved ones by virtue of promising not to try to kill us.
Your suggestion that Dems should focus on jobs and stuff is valid. How does supporting trans folk have anything to do with that? And, considering how rock-bottom the response was against these anti-trans ads, why is this even being discussed as part the problem?
