    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.

    I have trans friends in the US. This bill probably won’t pass, but that doesn’t mean more will come. They’re already putting immigrants in concentration camps. So it looks like the gays and trans people are next. Probably not long before dissidents are after that.

      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.

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

      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.

      My theory is that anyone who’s bothered by gay/trans/etc people is a closeted something and doesn’t want to be reminded of their own insecurities.

          Yeah, I think it’s this. It’s cope to try to make a normal thing be seen as disgusting, so whatever actual disgusting shit they’re doing, which always seems to be pedophelia, doesn’t look so bad in contrast. It’s like a preemptive both sides

          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.

              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.

              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’re not wrong, but I also don’t think the US is unique in that regard. There’s been a lot of bullshit going on, even in countries that you would never imagine things like that happening in.

          You say “decent states” as if you think rural east Oregon is better than Atlanta in that regard, just because Oregon is blue and Georgia is red.
