Increasingly what I'm seeing in liberal spaces is trans people being told we're an electoral liability.
Increasingly what I'm seeing in progressive and leftist spaces is trans people being told that we're not important enough when compared with "real oppression."
And honestly it's infuriating.

I'm a white straight liberal woman originally from Los Angeles, was rescued by trans women from cis male predators on more than one occasion, and 💯% support the LBGTQ community, who have been among the nicest and kindest people I've met in my 66 years on our planet.

We'll find out Monday if they're listening.
Didn't think we'd have to watch the "first they came for..." poem playing out in real life.
It keeps feeling like we're an afterthought right now, more and more. And that's me being generous.

Like seriously wtf
For them, transphobia is the ‘polite’ bigotry they can espouse at their dinner parties.
If only we could drill down their heads that once they finish coming after us, they'll come after everyone else. And if only folks actually practiced unconditional solidarity /w the oppressed.
Rainbow coalition yall. Let's fight together.
...there shouldn't really be much of a fight that there are disgusting people on our "side."
But yeah, I remember this in the 80s / 90s. Now we get told to wait our turn again.

guaranteeing human rights must be above & beyond politics.
Check out the orders that came down last week to start identifying and discharging trans military members.
