no need to write an essay or anything

some libs and baby leftists are kinda baffled by the trump banter here and don’t know what’s serious and what’s irony

    My right to exist. I’m a trans woman who is very aware that I may need to flee the country in the next few years depending on where things go. I’m extremely aware of the attacks on my life and my access to the medication I need. This shit is not abstract for me.

    There’s a very big difference between having lipservice support from the federal government while living in a state that’s literally one of the best places on Earth to transition, and hoping said state will protect me from a federal government that’s actively hostile.

    Are federal Democrats actively allies to trans people? Eh.

    Are Massachusetts Democrats? You bet your ass they are. We’ve got more rights than trans people in most of the EU. We have informed consent, mandatory insurance coverage for trans health care, actual legal protection from discrimination.

    You act like there’s no difference, but I’m literally better protected here than I would be anywhere outside of like maybe like the Netherlands.

    I’m not in this to act like a high school child, I’m in it because people want to fucking wipe me and everyone like me out.

      This post is about whether trump is a worse federal executive than any other federal executive in the last ~40 years. Massachusetts Dems being good on trans rights has nothing to do with that.

      If there is some connection then please explain it

    • Hey, I want to apologize. Having read more by you, I can understand your fears more clearly. I sincerely hope you can find a way to leave the US, because the trends for trans people are truly terrifying. I know I probably came across very flippant, and I just want a chance to explain myself a bit.

      The Biden regime is currently in possession of funds that rightfully belong to the people of Afghanistan. By stealing this money, america is dooming hundreds of thousands of children to death by starvation and illness. My heart breaks for you and other people trapped inside the US regime, but you are not fundamentally more worthy of sympathy than the kids in Afghanistan. I desire a world in which both you and those children can live the life you deserve, and the only way I can see that happening is if the American state is destroyed

      • Also, because I don’t want to derail this too much,I am choosing a single topic because it shows the lack of a difference between trump and any given democrat. The people of Afghanistan would face the same cruelty no matter who is in charge. The same point could be made over and over again, whether we are talking people in Yemen, or Palestine, or Cuba. America is evil, and only causes harm in the world
