If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

This may cost you some friends, but as a self-correcting system, they should never have been your friends in the first place.
They always bring up Blazing Saddles, missing that all the jokes are directed up at the white power structure.
Hate cannot understand irony. That's why their "jokes" suck.
She asked me "Does everyone watching get that? If not, then what's the difference between satirical mockery and tacit approval for those folks?" Oof
If we want to prevent nearly unimaginable levels of death and destruction, we need everyone to speak up and speak out.

"What's happening to trans people? Oh that sucks...anyway..."
Called my elected representatives and told them the same thing, in somewhat more polite language.
For anyone else who would like to do the same:

While praise should never be the reason to do something, it may help someone keep going.

ARREST THE FRAUDULENT AND DISQUALIFIED PRESIDENT!!
I mean, I get it, it’s a shit blizzard right now, keeping up with it all is impossible.
Learn from history that Trans people tend to be the first target of evil.
it’s confirming the most cynical parts of myself that cis people are just going to be stand by and do nothing, no matter how bad this gets.
The Internet is a lifeline for people as disabled as I am. And I happen to also be trans.
It applies to cishet disabled people as well.
I agree with the guy you're lambasting. Online activism simply doesn't get the goods. If it did, we'd have a brighter world rn.
