We Have To Fight Against Them Together Or Die There's No Choice At This Point.

we have to fight against them together or die there's no choice at this point.

if you're a cis lgb and think you're safe you're not. they're coming for all of us.

Today has been extra rough. My best friend is M2F. She called in tears earlier. The conversation we had several weeks ago took hold. She’s terrified people will start “hunting trans people” if what the police are saying is true.

I had paltry words today. I couldn’t do much more than listen. I couldn’t tell her it won’t happen. That, alone, is terrifying.

The narrative is being pushed so hard and there’s little counter-messaging.

I don’t understand why we aren’t in the streets. Kids all over Florida are staging a mass walkout this week in support of trans rights.

Why aren’t we in the streets demanding change? One coordinated strike, across the country, all at once. Millions of people are angry about today. Yet we sit idle.

Aw geez: Indiana likely to enact anti-trans laws on the one hand, but throwing stars will be legal, at least in some places.  Whut?  From Indiana Public Broadcasting, IPB News:

On the anti-trans bill, Lauren Chapman reports:

“Gov. Eric Holcomb has until Wednesday, April 5 to sign, veto or let a gender-affirming care ban for transgender youth become law without his signature. The governor says the issue is ‘clear as mud’ but he would take action by deadline.

Senate Bill 480 bans medicinal or surgical gender-affirming care for transgender youth. Surgical gender-affirming care isn’t provided to minors in Indiana. But medicinal care is more common — prescribing puberty blockers or hormone therapies to help treat gender dysphoria.  The bill would forcibly de-transition transgender youth already receiving therapies by the end of the year.

Holcomb said he’s spoken with providers and others to get a grasp on the issue and he’s talked to the lawmakers behind the measure.  ‘I think their intent is to address the care for the child,’ Holcomb said.”

Saying that an issue is “clear as mud” to me sounds like the man from Utah who said he wished women could just make decisions for themselves instead of male legislators.

Brandon Smith reports on throwing stars:

“Throwing stars are set to become legal this summer after lawmakers sent legislation to the governor eliminating their prohibition.

The weapons have been illegal in Indiana since the mid-1980s. And a bill this session, SB 77, was originally aimed at legalizing them only in certain entertainment venues – the ax-throwing businesses that have become popular wanted to offer throwing stars.  The measure was expanded to fully legalize throwing stars after, Rep. Dale DeVon (R-Granger) said, Indiana prosecutors and public defenders both got on board with the idea.

‘And put them in the same category as a pocketknife,’ DeVon said. ‘So, they will not be allowed in schools or anything like that.’”

I – got nothin’

look at me. listen to me. bigots and queerphobes don’t know the distinction between a trans person, a gnc cis gay person, and a cisgender heterosexual crossdresser. all of these people are just queer degenerates to them. that is why their anti-drag bills are written so vaguely as to encompass any possible mundane gender nonconformity - so they can target as many of us as possible in one ruling. and that’s why you need to stop trying to put lines between these groups in regards to ‘who’s more oppressed’ and ‘who has the right to talk about gender’ - gender nonconformity and transgenderism are punished in exactly the same way. cut one of us and the other bleeds. our fight is the same.
