lmao the audacity to say these laws were implemented to target cis ppl, like no, we just sometimes happen to be acceptable casualties of those laws

I think we have to look at intent vs. effect. A law and a system is what it does. More cis women will be targeted by anti trans actions in public spaces because of the population imbalance. I think we have to see that as a feature not a bug for the people who made these laws.

ultimately at the end of it, cis women will end up fine. Trans women will die disproportionately.

Yes, we will be killed and attacked by the state disproportionately. However, I believe the numbers are so imbalanced that at least as many cis women will be killed and attacked by police as we will. Other people will pay disproportionate tolls, like Black women and masc queer women.

yeah, sometimes i worry about being approached because i hate confrontation, but it could only really happen once, possibly twice in my life. i'll live, i'll move on.

me personally tho, i've said it before, i'll say it again: i would die for and with my trans sisters

You're a real one. I think it's important for solidarity to understand that even when we are victims, there is someone who needs our help. We're all in this together.

sorry to get morbid but i feel like it's something i realistically find myself thinking about more and more these days. how far i'm willing to go. it can't just be posting on bluesky.

I think about this with some of the farmer broads out here in rural OK- my 2nd cousin can clock as dude esp in the summer when her hair is short but she is v protective her femininity ie: if she got “sir” she’d stare them in the eye 👁️ “that’s ma’am” 👁️

You have to. I pass for a woman most places, but I have to look at folks like they just shit their pants when they misgender me. It's a real privilege to pass, though. Earlier in my transition I would get cussed out or called slurs if I stood up for myself.

i agree with you completely! i do not think that the architects of these laws care about the fallout, whether it happens to trans ppl or cis ppl. however, initially i was responding to someone who said these laws were always intended to strike cis women who don't fit puritan christian archetypes

winemomculture.bsky.social•19 hours ago

and it's like, no! they were intended to target trans people! anyone else is just a bonus!

The goal is to kill ALL trannies, so yeah they are gonna get a few cis women on accident but they've made it clear they want all of us DEAD explicitly

melimeli.online•19 hours ago

Theyll check you which will be traumatic but you won't be murdered and or turned into a rape doll like the trans women will be.

It's still bad don't get me wrong, but it feels like genocide erasure by focusing on cis women
