It's worth mentioning, I think, that the only reason we have to go through this constant exhausting effort to prove our worth to live in the world is because a small group of billionaires have ginned up a public hate campaign against us, as the spearhead of a movement to roll back social progress.
Is not only that but also lots of allies whose support was only base on out existence being quiet and non disturbing to them. They quickly sold out any camaraderie the moment it proved to hard to make the minimal effort required, just see the clusterfuck of last year, specially around certain game.
I’ve been listening to this podcast called through line lately and it has some cringe but it’s revealing how much social progress we lost or missed simply because we let a billionaires obvious smear campaign go unchecked. We should be smart enough today to be able to point that out and then win.
Every day more reason we should rebuild the guillotines...
The richest people on earth believe they can create so much hatred and disgust for trans folks that it can be used to roll back women's rights, queer rights, privacy rights, rights to public education, rights to free assembly. It's all the same fight. I wish more of y'all saw that.
I doubt most people even realize they know a trans person. Alabama made laws about trans people in school, though there has never been a relevant incident -- no trans in bathrooms and no trans applying for sports team. The laws made were just politics.
