      Let them be alienated. Trans rights are human rights, and they’re non-negotiable. Trans people are such a small minority, our rights depend on cis allies being vocal advocates, even when it isn’t easy. Social progress has never happened by backing away from an issue conservatives are mad about and waiting for them to change their minds and come around.

        The bill will go nowhere, and we all know that, including the sponsors. It’s pointless, just some idpol nonsense.

        It’s a divisive issue that will alienate people from the party at a time when you hope they’re going to run on defunding ICE and prosecutions for Trump officials.

        They aren’t going to do either of those things, so they have to seem like they’re Less Evil™️. This just further dehumanizes turns trans people, turning them into political footballs and you fall for it eagerly

      People who are alienated by me having rights deserve a fucking wall. Doesn’t matter if that’s rights we all have, or rights only some have due to being an oppressed minority.

      I don’t want these nazis being my neighbors after this. I want to fucking hunt them like the collaborators they are. I want them dead like they want me dead.

      These people have crossed the fucking Rubicon as far as I’m concerned.

    • Anyone who is afraid of talking about this issue is gonna do jack-shit about ICE. They’re just gonna keep giving them more and more funding and act surprised when they do they same things they’ve been doing, but now with more agents and more weapons.
