One of his first orders is to attack 1.1% of the population that just wants to exist without persecution. This will be a lovely 4 years. Actually, we will be lucky if we don’t have to fight for it to only be 4 years.

How is this nonsense enforced???

Do you think these people titter to themselves a little at this talking point, thinking about the women bleeding out in Texas parking lots

Grim chuckle at this. Far from mere symbolism indeed! The symbolic attack is very obviously the point of this aspect, I wonder why deny it.

I submitted my passport renewal today and I will not be able to have the same gender marker on my license and passport now.

calvinallegedly.bsky.social•39 days ago

I could have in theory renewed earlier but also like, have a hobbies (posting) and a job (also posting).

I gather that what she is trying to say by “not mere symbolism” is that it’s not just going to be reflected in internal government processes, but they are actually going to tell specific trans people directly that they are not really trans? That’s not quite what the word means but 🤷‍♀️

“Trump’s campaign released an unexpected ad, and one that was extremely politically effective. The tagline—“Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”—could go down in history as one of the most effective campaign slogans ever devised.”

Says who exactly and by what metric

They never solve real problems, they always make real problems worse, but they sell moral panics around marginalized people

Identity politics is the GOP’s organizing principle.

I am not political except when it comes to human rights abuses. This is a must-read for everyone. A conversation between me and Chatgpt. A MUST READ FOR EVERY AMERICAN.

So many unanswered questions based on the news report, including because it doesn’t say what Alison suggests it does

A recent short commentary I wrote that’s relevant: https://doi.org/10.1080/15265161.2024.2399853

I know it’s a bit basic to say so but I think the orange man is really bad and I think this anti-trans order is an example of that
