It’s almost like the “You’re just panicking, Transpeople aren’t really being erased.” crowd were full of fucking shit.
Reminder that the “LGB Alliance” in the UK literally worked with the Heritage Foundation and described it as “the only possible course of action.” It was an op with most of the supporters being straight transphobes trying to sow division. This move has the Heritage Foundation written all over it, they love that tactic, divide and conquer.
Fuck trump. Fuck musk. Fuck this administration. Fuck Republicans. Fuck conservatives. Fuck anyone who voted for a single republican. And fuck most democrats who haven’t done shit for us.
Ok, so fuck the system. Just a question though? Is it fucking in a sensual way?
(just want to head off some awkward scenarios)
Remember article 5 of NATO, an attack on a member is an attack on all members! We must show support for the trans and gender nonbinary communities while we organize with the hope of flipping the legislature in the midterms two years from now.
an attack on a member is an attack on all members!
Yes!
organize with the hope of flipping the legislature in the midterms two years from now.
Jfc, no…
What the fuck more will it take for people to understand that you can’t vote fascism away???!!!
Surely if we ask politely they’ll go away right? I mean, happened with hitler, mussolini, and also with franco! Specially with him!
Lemmy is for some reason overcome with peak electoralism brainrot and thinks that instead of being the barest fucking minimum of effort, voting is actually the peak of political praxis. Frankly, it’s bizarre.
Since you can’t say guillotines, or the law would persecute Lemmy itself. If it happens, it won’t be televised, that’s for sure.
There will be no more fair voting in the US with Elon controlling the US IT infrastructure
Yes. Please don’t vote. Send the dems a message! It’ll surely make everything better
Trump vote with a MAJORITY of votes this time.
This is a divide and conquer tactic, trying to turn lesbians into TERFs and gays into whatever the gay man equivalent of that is (TERG?). Don’t let it work.
Speaking of NATO, when do they, I dunno, wanna get involved in removing an obvious bad actor? Actors? I don’t see anyone else bothering, or even coming close to being able to.
My only question starting today is " when are we going to do a massive protest? "
I’m not saying 3 fat people walking around with copier paper sized art work. I’m talking, millions and millions of people Carrying helicopter readable banners and crates of water bottles to every single downtown.
When is this fuckening? I want to be there. I want it to be a general strike where everything stops. No planes, no cars, no trains. We walk (after a normal commute maybe) and we stay until orange fuck boy gets the boot so hard that he goes flying past the helicopter and into the sunset with pretty boy Vance in his mouth and Elno in his ass.
When???
When people remember that Transpeople are neither their enemies nor where this ends.
Google 50501
50 states, 50 protests, 1 day.
Feb 5th at your state capitol.
I searched “50501 protest” and got a lot of facebbok, instagram, and forum links. I can’t really find a single site listing all official information.
Now we’re talking!
Random people online call for general strikes all the time but there’s no coordination or planning so nothing comes from them. However, there is one with real potential in the works being coordinated by an established union, United Auto Workers, with support from unions in several other industries. The date will be May 1, 2028, when many unions contracts with no-strike clauses have been coordinated to expire at once, and they are taking time to prepare, organize, and spread the word.
I don’t know, what about next sunday ?
Fine. I’m Here near Seattle on the north side. Its bitter cold and dry. It’s supposed to snow. But if I hear even 3 fat people going downtown, I’m joining! I’m fucking fat too.
First they came for the T…
Then the LGB…
Then the T again…
…then the rest of the ATCG
Any trans people reading this comment, who are around 18- 25 years old. Germany and some other countries offer a social year, where you work over here for a year. You get to live here, have healthcare etc. Only cache is that you gotta work in a social sector job. Sometimes people can manage to make it two years. So if you are looking for a temporary way out, check it out. There is nothing you can lose by trying to do that year.
Edit: For anyone checking this out, it’s called FSJ, or Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr. Some info here: https://bak-fsj.de/ (German) https://en.life-in-germany.de/voluntary-year-in-germany/ (some general information)
Sincerely, correct me if I’m wrong, but reading through info on this it looks like you’re not cleared to do paid employment on the necessary visa for this. If someone opts for this (it does look like a cool program, and I have some people in mind where it’d be an excellent fit if they can swing it), you’re going to need funds for self-support in advance (similar to other programs like this - WOOFing etc.)
If you have the means to do this, definitely looks worth exploring though. Obviously gonna have to learn German (what I’m seeing suggests at a B1 level, though noting some roles may accept a lower level of fluency).
LGB is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen.
I’m not THAT young (born in the 90s) and even I’ve never ever seen LGB as an initialism without the T.
Born in the 70s here. I do remember LGB without the T in the 1990s and early 2000s, you probably were too young to pick up on the term. In any case, trans rights came into the spotlight much later than LGB rights.
A great leap backwards :(
T stands for “travelers,” right?
donno, i mean it could mean transformers, i’ve seen the movies, the trilogy, they are great and have big guns.
I fucking warned people that there was going to be a kind of trans genocide. I got told to shut up because “Gaza is a real genocide happening right now”

Its not the dems. Its that broken two party shithole of a system. Its designed to pin partys against each other and make a show of it.
Neither party has any interest in the people, a third option has never been viable afaik and everyone and their mom was manipulating the shit out of everyone.
The spread of disinformation was so bad I had to ban everything that was related to the elections.
People need to organize, get orange man out and take out that whole election system in one fell swoop. Direct vote counts, multiparty system, then take out the ability to donate more than 1000$ to a party, then take out the billionaires who own the media and the huge conglomerates.
The whole situation is directly explainable through absence of any actual left wing politics. No social net, no housing, no healthcare, nothing.
The US is a perfect example of 30 years of toxic positivity and ignorance of spreading problems.
“About 70 countries still consider consensual same-sex relations a crime. That list is growing by one more country, hopefully in the next months. Please stay tuned to our new and exciting developments regarding your collective and the hate we profess to it!!”
Looks like I’m waiting 4 years to come out
I made the unfortunate “choice” (ie suffering from a mental breakdown from repressing it) to come out the week before the election. It was less than ideal. But also, fuck these people, I’m not going back to fucking hiding so some rich shitstain can pretend he cares about anything other than greed.
Fuck anything less than LGBTQIA+. Throw those nazis under some cybertruck abomination.
I’m sorry… this just reeks of “weird, salty old person” to me, like a great grandpa on an incoherent rant from some other time.
I was born in the 90s, just learned that “LGB” used to be a thing, and now can only picture some really racist, old relative of mine using it. Like, can we please not go back to the 1950s, when Trump was raised?
