its just a shame to see the dems throw trans people under the bus instead of learning their lesson

We love a little obeying in advance. Never problematic and always leads to good things.

I hear you Jessie. Fuck this timeline forever.

I remember a cis woman I worked with was accused of being in the "wrong bathroom", despite the fact she was a cis woman. This type of discrimination effects all women! As a cis woman I'm sick of the discrimination of trans people, especially from other women. I'm sorry Jessie. 😔

Empathetic? Or emphatic? Cuz I can vibe with either, and I should probably find out what's going on with that story. I've only heard about it in the commentary on it, not what's actually happening, just how folks are reacting.

Disappointed in McBride to say the least. I understand she can’t be in an easy position. But laying down immediately and allowing the GOP to identify her as a man sets a dangerous precedent for the rest of us out her trying to cling to what little rights we have

She is the first. Firsts generally deal with a ton of crap, to put it mildly. I think it must suck to be the first, especially going to a Congress where she’s outnumbered.

timetravelershaven.bsky.social•95 days ago

Where are people reading that Dems will exile her from congress if she were to disagree? Can someone send me where they are finding that?

I hope any trans people on the tour route ignore this rule. Fuck those bigots, they deserve no respect or civility if they give none to others.

They don't stand by Sanders, AOC, Omar, or Tlaib either. I'm not surprised.

Sarah isn’t close to as progressive any of them either

soragirl.bsky.social•95 days ago

She sure isn't. But it is definitely the principle of the matter. The fact that the government is willing to quickly put bans on people is frightening.

She's a strong Zionist, even before October 7th she spouted pro-Israel crap.

She's about as progressive as you would expect from a long time Biden family friend.

Everything is so maddening now. Before the fascists chose a group to scapegoat the worst (your group, sorry), I never spent one second of my life worrying about the person in the next stall's junk. I still don't!

We have lost our freaking minds!

If I was in her shoes, I will not back down. I wouldn’t even write an appeasement letter. I would live my life and not comply. Now she will face the consequences. All the fascist party want is to just get rid of her. We as a community, are better and we will fight back and won’t back down. #Resist

i’m with you. Let people be people and worry about your own fucking decisions and body. ASSHOLES each and every one of them.

Disappointed in McBride, but I can't even begin to imagine the amount of pressure she's under - the majority of her 'colleagues' looking for the vaguest excuse to exile her from congress, the others seeing it as 'identity politics'.

Talk about being in a den of vipers.

I wrote two articles on the subject, because I believe it's not only horrible for us trans folk, but dangerous for society.
