No, fuck that.

Now that so many high profile Democrats publicly agree with @sethmoulton.bsky.social about transgender athletes in women’s sports, is he owed an apology?

He ruined his reputation with his constituents with this backstabbing. You should see the crowds protesting outside his office.

He's owed an atomic wedgie and a pink slip, nothing more.

Man, seeing the circling down the fascist drain speed up is entirely predictable, but still shocking and grotesque.

terarist.bsky.social•75 days ago

Hearing all these democrats suggesting that trans people aren't worthy of rights, sure screams progressive principles.
It's not like there are any historical precedents for what happens when centrists cave to fascist calls to dehumanize groups of marginalized people.
No, no, none at all.

Nazis attacked lgbt before they attacked Jews.

terarist.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yup.
We were first on the list, and they destroyed decades of research on LGBT lives in 1933.
1933. Psychological, anthropological, and medical.
Gone.
Gay rights, and research, didn't recover for another 60 years.

I am not LGBTQ and this continues to anger me.

diamandahagan.bsky.social•74 days ago

Not only all that by the poem that everyone cites still doesn't include queer people. And the Allies had already gone for queer people again when it was written. Niemoller never stopped being okay with nazi shit, he just shrank the groups he was okay with it happening to.

terarist.bsky.social•74 days ago

It's disheartening when you hear that when the allies freed the concentration camps, the put the LGBT folks right back into the prison system.

Magats are literally following the exact same playbook.

Mate, the fuck is that bs? Our existance may as well be attacked if people don't like us, right? fuckin' hell.

psychopompgecko.bsky.social•74 days ago

Does he actually name prominent Democrats, or is it just progressives like Fetterman, Sanders, and some random state level Dem no one's ever heard of?

todd-dharken.bsky.social•75 days ago

I don't care who these Democrats are or how many they claim to be. They're a minority opinion, that opinion stinks, and in no way does it validate their feelings or his about trans athletes no matter how much they agree with each other. They're all wrong.

I want to do more to help but if the only thing I had left was to say this and then poof into a cloud of dust I’d be ok with it:

Hear hear

And fuck him, too.

warriorofcosplay.bsky.social•74 days ago

I wouldn't say "so many." It looks like a handful, but he's counting Newsom as 10 dems.

Right now a majority of dems are fighting for lgbt+ people. Especially trans people. Becca Balint, my rep, has been incredibly vocal about protecting trans rights. Bernie and Peter too.
