The Trump administration has said that the U.S. passports of transgender people must now reflect the sex on their original birth certificate, reversing a decades-old policy.
At the same time, the government here in the Netherlands has ruled that being a trans person in the US is not enough persecution to qualify for asylum or refugee status.
Double whammy.
I mean as of right now it isn’t, they are not at risk of lose of life. Could change though.
I mean what’s the point? What problem is this trying to fix???
Oh wait… the cruelty is the point. I keep forgetting.
The right wing is just a bottomless, needy well of grievances.
They have just been soooo very butthurt about losing the gay marriage thing and Obama being black while being President. It drove them crazy, it still drives them crazy.
And so, as revenge, they are going to wreck as much of this country and harm as many people as possible (including their own financial situation) while sky-screaming. How they were harmed by any of the above things, who the fuck knows, but not being considered the center of the universe is clearly enraging them to do very irrational things.
This has the convenient side effect of making international travel infinitely more risky, as many ports of entry will likely question or deny entry to someone who doesn’t visually match the sex marker on their passport.
Like everything the Trump regime does, the cruelty is the point. Because this is of no practical value to anybody.
Fucken fascists. Keep pouting about your “little dark age”. We will destroy your legacy regardless of how much damage you do here.
Good luck this isn’t going to be over when Trump leaves. The world is going right like it always does when things get difficult. People only care about others when they have the luxury to when they are struggling to get by they only care about there problems.
Highly untrue or civilization would not be an emergent property of human beings.
Could you explain what they have said about little dark age?
I imagine it’s the techno feudalism being pushed by Thiel and his acolytes.
