one of the more alienating gaps between trans women & our most progressive cis allies is how much of a fear this is for us vs how little of a concern it is for them.

A statement on the White House counterterrorism strategy threat to “neutralize” “pro-transgender political groups”, the passing of legislation in Tennessee to create a statewide registry of trans individuals, and the fatal stabbing of a trans woman at the University of Washington
really cool to read about how the government thinks i need to be neutralized for the crime of thinking being trans is fine while i’m on my lunch break and then have to go back to work so i can afford my overpriced groceries in the country that hates me. i feel awesome about this.

I WONDER WHY. I WONDER WHY THE CHILD RAPIST ELIMINATED A PROGRAM THAT AIDS PREGNANT TEENAGERS. I WONDER WHY RED STATES ROLLED BACK ABORTION RIGHTS. THE MODERN "REPUBLICAN" PARTY IS NOTHING BUT A CABAL OF PEDOPHILES. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR FREEDOM TO IMPREGNATE CHILDREN.
everyone in the conversion therapy business knows it doesn't actually work and is a scam but nobody cares. the parents know their "fruity freak" kids won't ever actually be "normal" either, this is just a ritualized torture as a form of punishment
Call me a radical communist but I‘d rather everyone be housed in a gray apartment block with units like this than a single person having to be homeless.
