    Love how they can’t mind their own business. Even if you think something is weird as long as it doesn’t harm you leave them alone.

    Texas has already been making lists of trans people.

    Fun fact - “detransition activist” Chloe Cole (a seriously mentally ill woman who detransitioned after several bad LSD trips as a teenager, who’s mostly being puppeted around by Do No Harm, an extremely shady anti trans organization) - well, her lawyers want data on all trans people and their care covered by Kaiser.

    I think Vanderbilt also outed a bunch of its trans patients to several state’s attorney generals.

    HIPPA is toothless right now.

      nope, a mostly straight jail. they won’t put us together. specifically, trans women like me are sent to men’s prison and assigned to be the prison wives of violent inmates to pacify them and as a “reward” for good behavior. it’s called v-coding.

        That sounds worse than jail. That sounds like torture. And now a punishment for a crimeless crime…

      The slow removal of my basic human rights and criminalization of my very existence feels like a little more than just a distraction. I’m not upset at you I just really hate these things that in fact are greatly affecting my mental health and overall well-being. I’m afraid to even leave my house presenting as my true self.

        I don’t know how helpful this is, but we’d welcome you with open arms in most of europe on a social level, especially west and northern europe. On a institutional level there are requirements that vary from country to country about work and skills etc.

        Since things are getting really bad over there, it might be worth properly researching.

    Easy loophole: Just identify as your gender. Trans women are just women now. Trans men are just men now.

        I’m sorry, but when you actively support bullshit laws like this that dehumanize people, you don’t get to call yourself an American. Simple as that

          To be clear, I am not defending them. I am just pointing out bad logic because it leads to bad beliefs and opinions.

          Unfortunately, these people are Americans, and there’s a whole bunch of them. There is no value whatsoever in trying to argue otherwise.

            All I’m trying to say is that fascism is decidedly un-American

            Unfortunately that seems to be changing. It’s almost as if this country learned nothing 80 years ago

              i know you’ve probably been always taught differently, but this is objectively untrue. this country was literally built on genocide and slavery, it was steeped in misogyny and racism.

              America has always been this.

                Not to mention the US also always had a nazi problem. There was enough before we joined ww2 to fill up Madison square garden in protest. They just went quiet when we joined the war and it Became unamerican to be a nazi. And that’s not even counting the nazi scientists that moved here after the war.

                They’ve just been around waiting for people to forget and become more radical to make their moves

              Yeah I dunno about all that… Hitler famously got most of his ideas from America. He modeled a lot of Nazi Germany after Jim Crow, and all the eugenics stuff originated in the US and was big in the academic community prior to WW2.

              We even had a massive conspiracy by corporations to take down FDR and install a fascist dictator. George W. Bush’s grandfather was literally involved.

                I suppose you’re right that bringing nationality into it probably wasn’t the best idea.

                This is still unacceptable though

          You have barely worked forward, since the US have been sabotaging the global South’s political self-determination and pillaged its resources.
