    Bruh, they’re acting like trans people are like 40% of the population. This “culture war” BS is a distraction from the class war, the actual conflict.

      Yeah but the culture war is what gets Republicans votes. So long as people want to oppress other people, they are going to win with anti-trans, racist, etc. legislation.

      The class war has been waging since the country was founded. A bunch of rich white land owners got pissy they had to pay taxes, so they revolted.

      It’s always been a class war since the very beginning.

      Last time it was the migrant caravan and all the terrible people streaming across the border, still some of that this round but they’ve been setting up trans folk as the boogeyman de jour for a while

    For context, by this time last year there were 80 anti-trans bills filed. The total of anti-trans bills filed for all of 2024 was 669. In 2023 the total anti trans bills filed was 615 and in 2022 the total was 174.

    Think about where this is heading and do anything in your power to stop it now before it’s too late.

      One good thing would have been for people to not do everything they could to get Donald Trump elected president because the Democratic party isn’t perfect… that would have been a great start.

    I’ve figured it out. They need to ban trans people so they stop being so tempting. Just give in to your deep down desires! Be happy

      No, they need to ban it because deep down they are afraid they are trans and if they can somehow ban it then they can keep pushing those feelings down and ignore it.

      Well, actually, it’s probably both.

        If we’re being real here the reason is because they lost the war on gay acceptance and needed a new target to direct their hate towards.

            They literally did lose the war on gay acceptance. It became politically infeasible for conservatives to run on anti-gay platforms. That’s the entire reason they switched all of their efforts towards trans people.

            Now, do they plan to come after gay people once they’ve annihilated trans people? Absolutely. There is no chance they have forgotten about them as their ideology does not allow minorities to exist as equals and they are 100% using trans people as their foot in the door to eventually come after everyone else.

              Which means the war didn’t end.

        I mean, I’m not so many words that’s what I said, but mine is encouraging them to embrace it.

          I read your comment as they want to hook up with trans people and I was adding that some (most?) are trans themselves and repressing it. I think it’s probably important to recognize both of those potential aspects of where trans hate can come from.

      My bank teller yesterday was trans.

      No, I didn’t ask. It was… admittedly kind of obvious. Some things are best kept quiet.
