Watching Aime Wichtendahl speak right now on Iowa's removal of transgender people from civil rights law and I am in tears right now.
She's incredible.
I will do anything I can to clip this speech but if anyone else is doing so please send it.

Now to see how much taxpayer money gets wasted trying to defend it when the courts laugh it out of the room for being unconstitutional on its face.
This is no time for civility, the US is way past the point where it's even possible.
I learned it in Ohio last year during the HB2 hearing. The pro-trans arguments were perfect. They didn't care.
They are children with no emotional regulation.
(With apologies to actual children.)
If you don't have OBS Studio set up, you might want to consider it. It's become a lot easier than it used to be.
I didn’t go because i didn’t think i could take it when this moment came. And it did.
They hate us so much. 😭🏳️⚧️
Why would we assume sex pests will transition to be sex pests? It's such a nonsense, cruel, bad faith argument.
Fuck these fascist cowards and their cruelty.

Trans rights are human rights. You are loved, you are valued.
Politicians know, I will not vote for any party that dehumanizes any other group of people.
No, I'm against the bigots in my own country too, funnily enough.

Bless you all!!!
Praying for safety
Praying for change
Holy shit.
Or is it OK just to send the "tr@nnies" to the gas chambers?
Most Iowans are still the epitome of "Iowa nice"- friendly, caring and endlessly generous.
Unfortunately many can also be deeply insular and closed minded. The GOP feeds and profits from that darker side of Midwesterners.
IN AMERICA, we don’t TAKE AWAY RIGHTS from people.*
*except felons (even then, not always)
It's utterly shameful, and this bigoted, hateful bill is just the cherry on top of this pile of crap that identifies as a State.
I guess its time to look for Illinois property.
Can't find her here. Any chance we can convince her to be here on Bluesky?
