🚨 Trump will instruct the federal government tomorrow via an executive order to not recognize that transgender people exist and exclusively recognize people as their sex assigned at birth.

I'm much more concerned about what the regressive majority in congress will do off the back of such an executive order and what the more...vocal and vitriolic right wingers (esp. in local gov't) will feel empowered to do to anyone they feel doesn't perform "cis" well enough...

kikiadine.bsky.social•42 days ago

Please keep informing people
Please let everyone know that this EO alone is enough to strip trans people of all their rights by denying their existence
It is very serious
Start calling members of Congress DAILY
202-224-3121
Tell them you oppose Trump's anti-trans Executive Order and agenda

sundaytrucker.bsky.social•42 days ago

The government seizing the right to determine who does and doesn’t exist isn’t the victory his supporters were hoping for.

ignoranceischrisx.bsky.social•42 days ago

Imagine stressing out about LABELS instead of abortion rights. No wonder y'all are doomed.

kikiadine.bsky.social•42 days ago

You understand that denying people actually exist means they don't have any fucking rights, yes?
It has NOTHING to do with LABELS

You're just jealous that Bari Weiss has a sugar daddy and you don't.

danbad23.bsky.social•42 days ago

The culture wars are a carnival side show (but with all too real victims) designed to distract us from noticing that billionaires don’t pay taxes, while you, me, even the MAGA are excised of a 20%+ pound of flesh every year (it’s just around the corner). Trump’s one true talent: playing the Heel

doctor-lesbian.bsky.social•42 days ago

I could do with Bari Weiss being sent to Mars, personally

kaspar0927.bsky.social•41 days ago

What’s next? An Executive order declaring that gay people don’t exist..

emilystjams.bsky.social•42 days ago

I do think trans people would be okay if we could just do a “Thank you to President Trump for ensuring we remain available in the United States” push notification.

songbird3411.bsky.social•42 days ago

I have really nothing to say here due to how angry I am. But I am thinking of you and hoping you are okay.

bravehorse.bsky.social•42 days ago

Since Trump has no balls and acts like a pussy he will then ban himself

terarist.bsky.social•42 days ago

Considering how small a portion of the population we are and our near nill political power, it's interesting how much conservative ink is spilled defaming us.
I mean...

jon048.bsky.social•41 days ago

Fucking piece of shit

juliusfiluta.bsky.social•42 days ago

I feel so bad for the trans community because not only do they get associated with terrible people all the time by Trump but by his brainwashed followers as well. Also, pronouns are just words used to describe a subject (like a person for example) which is taught to everyone in elementary school.

travisgaetz.bsky.social•42 days ago

outdoorsybrian.bsky.social•42 days ago

It’s just the beginning of a long fight ahead of us in the queer community. Never give up, our existence depends on it!

allisonrush.bsky.social•42 days ago

I won’t be complying with that. I continue to honor people for who they are, not who the the government thinks they should be.

He can NEVER tell someone who they believe themselves to be.

dmc73.bsky.social•42 days ago

I am pretty sure there is a long game here. Trans being a small community was, unfortunately, an easy target and creating hostility. But I am pretty sure this is laying a path to start chipping away at LGBTQ+ rights as a whole. They were the initial target but not really the overall goal.

mapsayswerefucked.bsky.social•42 days ago

We've been down this road before. Prohibition. The defense of marriage act. You just cannot legislate morality. 🤷🏼‍♂️

It's high time that we put it into this gender Theory debate. Men are men, women are women. No one should be forced to tell a lie. No one's mental illness should be affirmed. This is common sense!

I’m not fear-mongering but if history repeats itself, watch your data and if he comes for document seizure for lgbt and inclusive spaces, be very very careful.

dorchesterbarrett.bsky.social•41 days ago

Getting work is already hard enough as a trans woman…and now that the executive orders take away my protections from workplace discrimination, I’m so worried about a possible attempt to kill transness economically.

piperellie.bsky.social•42 days ago

And when will the price of groceries go down?

napoleonsghost.bsky.social•41 days ago

Should be pretty soon now that the border is getting closed.

piperellie.bsky.social•41 days ago

It will never happen. A politician cannot tell a business to lower their prices.

piperellie.bsky.social•41 days ago

On the contrary Trumps tariffs will raise prices even more.

piperellie.bsky.social•42 days ago

How is that helping anything?

apogean.bsky.social•42 days ago

we are going to keep fighting and protect each other

apogean.bsky.social•42 days ago

also worth remembering that Bari Weiss is a very high-profile exception, most queer women are cool and normal about trans people

betransdocri.me•42 days ago

Almost amusingly, there was a survey a few years back in the UK that showed that younger lesbians and bi women were more supportive of trans people than trans people were of themselves.

Indiana once tried to pass a bill redefining pi to be equal to 3. Just because you say something doesn't mean it is true.

hummusfitking.bsky.social•42 days ago

How does it suck that everyone knows their gender? You think this is progressive? This is spitting in God's face. To tell people that we don't even know what gender we are is a sick joke

trishashtear.bsky.social•42 days ago

if this is spitting in gods face, what is it electing a criminal/adulterer and rapist to lead us through the new promise land ?

drfrfly.bsky.social•42 days ago

eruditorumpress.com•42 days ago

Frankly, there was always going to be an early executive order targeting us, and this is about the least bad that executive order could be.

ghostymost.bsky.social•42 days ago

if only there was a way to prevent this from happening

eruditorumpress.com•42 days ago

I mean, there probably isn’t in the next thirteen hours, so I’m going with a “live to fight another day” strategy.

ghostymost.bsky.social•42 days ago

i mean there was a very simple way to avoid this situation but oh well i guess

eruditorumpress.com•42 days ago

Not sure what “I guess” is doing here. Like, you got a Time Machine? Cause I don’t.

isonope.bsky.social•42 days ago

I fear it won’t be the last

eruditorumpress.com•42 days ago

It won’t, though helpfully it’s more an obsession of Trump’s advisors than of him, so the next one will require clawing his attention away from immigration or whatever perceived slight is vexing him that week.

ghostymost.bsky.social•42 days ago

the way you’re making excuses for this and trying to downplay it is wild lol. did you vote for him or something?

eruditorumpress.com•42 days ago

I’m not making excuses, I’m assessing the level of immediate threat that I’m under so that I can respond to it instead of trying to score rhetorical points against people I’ve made up to argue with.

Seriously, how do *you* think trans people should respond to this? What’s your suggestion?

ghostymost.bsky.social•42 days ago

i’m personally responding to it by getting mad as fuck. this is going to absolutely destroy some trans people’s lives.

queerthing.bsky.social•42 days ago

yea like no shit I don't LIKE this and it's going to be used to fuck with us but of the possible ones this is at least one of the easier to combat

wyvu.bsky.social•41 days ago

I hope you're right

tabris-sky.bsky.social•42 days ago

This too will be challenged in court. it’s such a waste of an EO, Biden also signed an EO about the Civil Rights act. Science supports more than 2 sexes. Gender expression is supported by other religions. All this is a 1st amendment violation.

tabris-sky.bsky.social•42 days ago

Plus it violates state laws protecting us. 14th Amendment.

kikiadine.bsky.social•42 days ago

Don't let your guard down.
Denying the 14th amendment's reach is exactly what got Roe overturned
This is a serious EO

tabris-sky.bsky.social•42 days ago

I don’t, but I also know how much this violates the laws and constitutional rights.

These are attempts to frighten us. Trump is a bully used to drowning his victims in courts, but federal law is different, that oath is different. We are citizens nonetheless, and this will be challenged.

kikiadine.bsky.social•41 days ago

I agree with you 100%
I'm just very concerned
I'm 53yo and I've never seen anything like this
He doesn't care about laws or the constitution
My youngest daughter is trans
I AM frightened for her and for all the rest of you beautiful trans people
You are not alone in this

tabris-sky.bsky.social•41 days ago

You have every protective synapse firing. It should be. These are dangerous times. I have never seen it like this in my 40 some years. Hold and live your child. She needs your strength more than ever. We have to fight. We have no other option.

borednoodle.bsky.social•42 days ago

Bari Weiss is like...a top 100 piece of shit

jg-pickleshitter.bsky.social•42 days ago

any trans people in red states better hope they dont get arrested in the next 4 years, or count on government assistance for anything.

sladie.bsky.social•42 days ago

Just because you refuse to accept trans people doesn’t mean that trans people will cease to exist. People will always exist as themselves whether Trump thinks they should or not

angrynerdbird.bsky.social•42 days ago

Yes, but setting a legal precedent that we don't exist means every person, employer, landlord, etc. who has felt limited in their ability to shit on us?

They'll feel free to no longer restrain their efforts to ruin our lives to the best of their ability.

lblin.bsky.social•41 days ago

But what about state laws?

angrynerdbird.bsky.social•41 days ago

They only matter when the victims of those who violate those laws can afford a lawyer.

racheal6140.bsky.social•42 days ago

No surprise whatsoever and the bullshit targeting by a rapist begins

crabapplejones.bsky.social•42 days ago

Weiss is gay?! I’m just about sapphocidal about the dykeotomy.

But we are the fruit of trees planted long ago. Each despot that tried to kill our people only tended to a new generation of impossible women. We are their inconvenient miracle.

meghpan.bsky.social•42 days ago

Oh but Caitlyn Jenner is spared right?

dandeedee.bsky.social•42 days ago

Oh i think we need a massive social media push to dead name her and misgender her.

At least that's what my anger wants. I know that really isn't the right solution at all.

meghpan.bsky.social•42 days ago

But we know we won’t because we respect her body, her choice.

And it wouldn’t phase her because she likes to speaks for all Transgender people and say oh she doesn’t care being called by Bruce still.

She may start singing a different tune when her birth certificate she was so proud of is revoked.
