Pls reblog for reach!

I really need help explaining to someone why using they/them deliberately for binary trans people isn't okay. I.e calling a trans girl they/them after she has told you she uses she/her.

I can't get the words together right and it's just making me angry so if someone has a good explanation of this PLS comment or reblog with it.

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.

fucking hate the "well it's not technically marriage inequality that disabled people can't get married without losing their benefits because no one's stopping you from getting married" yeah something is stopping us from getting married. Loss of medical care. Homelessness. Hunger. Death. I don't know how to tell you this but SSI is not a thing that you get because you could technically get a job but you don't feel like it. The process is awful, it's dehumanizing and it can take years even if you're clearly disabled. If you can work you do work, and if you can't work you can't afford to lose your "benefits". It's eugenics plain and simple, it came from a time where you could only fuck if you were married and they wanted to de-incentivize disabled people from fucking so we would stop existing.

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.’”
