Trans Day of Visibility should be a day of joy, but it feels somber this year. The onslaught of attacks against trans folks seems endless, so I just want to say this: Trans people deserve respect, freedom, and autonomy. They deserve to live their lives as their true selves without fear. - ThreadSky

thank you for still acknowledging us in this horrible, regressive time.

Thank you, Senator. Trans people are the GOP’s latest squeaky toy, used to distract from their many offenses.

Distract?

Yes they do. However the most important thing we can do for the trans community and every other marginalized community is to get power back so they're civil and human rights can be protected.

Thank you so much for recognizing this day and the feeling it invokes, Senator.

Compassionate and sensible people agree. Thank you for speaking out.

Where is our shadow government Rep Nickel from North Carolina proposed back in November?? We need this to respond to the dictator, to communicate weekly on action steps, send to your favorite politician, ask why has this not been done??
The fight is now!

Thank you, Senator. Our community is in the middle of it right now, and we need our elected representatives to stand up for us, not use us as a bargaining chip.

I understand why you are retiring, but I really wish you weren't.

Where's your bill preventing trans people from being sent to death camps? Why did you vote for a sec of state that has destroyed trans people's ability to have accurate documents? Where is your ACTION to defend trans existence? Because without it, this is just another hollow post

breddenbuttah.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hard agree.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
Where is the action?

bubblepipemedia.bsky.social•2 days ago

Have I really gotten to the point where hollow posts make me feel better? Where performative giving a damn is enough?

I’m ashamed a bit to say yes, these days I’ll take what I can get sadly

But yea, it would definitely be better if it were backed up with tangible actual actions

drklght.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's nice to have moments of feeling good in such a hateful world. However when groups are facing genocide, settling for performative isn't enough.

bubblepipemedia.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think it’s that because in a regime this bad, anyone coming out even just verbally is taking a kind of action. But I want specifics. How do you support us? I feel like I’ve got a pretty good idea of what their support probably means: Jack, or worse, not just inaction but also perpetuator of issues

Trans people are people.
