Here's a 2017 article about the plan to use feminist and 'left-wing' language to 'split the letters'. I genuinely cannot tell you how enraging it's been to watch it be planned and executed to the letter, out in the open, and still see people falling for it. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha... - ThreadSky

Same fiona, youve seen my fb posts, im so angry and frustrated that it's happened exactly as they said theyd do it and so many 'intelligent' 'progressive' people have fell for it hook line and sinker.

Its maddening, completely maddening.

They already have LGB, let’s go Brandon is so 2021.

Trump’s anti trans orders, you can absolutely see the terf language in it, it isn’t just the typical fundamentalist fare.

As a lifelong feminist trans woman, you can't be a feminist while not supporting all women. Period.

roundmoss.bsky.social•9 days ago

big agree
cis here but not only is supporting trans women simply the right thing to do, but any theory or policy in place to harm trans women turns around and hurts cis women too.

cricketscraft.bsky.social•9 days ago

Exactly. Like AOC said last week... who polices bathrooms? Some old white dude? Kristi Noem? If the people that voted for this think that being white, evangelical and cis will protect them, they've got another thing coming.

Trump and his fake Christians can try all they want to erase trans people. It won’t work. These folks aren’t going anywhere.

Terry Goodkind is rather a can of worms, but his simple "people are stupid" remains a vital rule of life to remember.

Because yeah, people are really stupid enough to fall for the weakest, lowest common denominator, divide and conquer tactics.

I have been tracking attacks on inclusive school policies in progressive districts since 2020. Fairfax was a target, as was SF. Similar strategies were used in SF to drive division between Black and Asian communities.

The conservative bible belt lesbians have been an easy mark to spread trans woman hate. Like handing hate filled Nazis twisted crosses to emblazon their necks.

Expose them indeed

I wrote these two pieces about the use of propaganda in anti-LGBTQ+ campaigns and they're probably worth revisiting:

Speaking of disinformation, this is a disinformed biased journal made at the start of this administration. We need to check sources carefully. https://publichealth.realclearjournals.org/

Yeah. Instant eyebrow raise, that. I do like it when they just can't help themselves and give away who they are even while trying to hide it.

Attacking trans people will hurt all women. Republicans wants to say who is which gender based on their birth certificate. Next step is saying married women who take their husband’s name can’t vote because their name doesn’t match their birth certificate https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2025/02/12/what-is-save-act-safeguard-american-voter-eligibility-citizenship-proof-married-women-voting-rights/78412688007/

The saddest thing about this divide and conquer strategy outlined in this article is that certain factions of the coalition let it succeed. Trans people have absolutely been thrown under the bus for too long.

tkocreations.com•9 days ago

That's arguably one of the the saddest things about it. We, as a people, are constantly tripping over endless conspiracy theories... when the worst, most disgusting, plots are planned and enacted in plain sight for anyone to see.

farasa7.bsky.social•9 days ago

I remember reading that the amped up trans rhetoric was a right wing tactic. This confirms my memory.

pugetopia.bsky.social•9 days ago

We gotta name and shame the "liberals" and "feminists" who did their dirty work.

flusteredbun.bsky.social•9 days ago

So for some reason theyre fine with us being gay as long as we arent trans?
Whats reallt happening is theyre trying to sew more discourse and make us hate each other

thisislisapower.bsky.social•9 days ago

It horrifies and disgusts me to see people who were les/gay activists in the 80s and fought exactly these same lies when they were used about them, now parrot them to persecute people who were their allies then.

RW Christians are a sneaky bunch. Grew up in it and it was always viewed as okay to lie and cheat if that's what it took to win. It wasn't called lying and cheating but even as a kid I knew better. The hypocritical fucks.
