Hi, everyone, I’m really hoping if any of my posts can blow up again it’s this one.
Trans rights are getting worse and worse in the U. S.
Currently, several states are moving to completely ban trans healthcare for minors, limit trans healthcare for adults 26 and younger, ban public drag, place limitations on trans participation in sports, and a lot of other horrific shit.
My only other post that really blew up was about discourse, and so is this one.
I need you all to listen to me. Please.
We don’t have a place for discourse right now.
Please, regardless of your stance on queer/LGBTQIA+ topics and the inter-community discourse, remember that we can’t win anything divided.
That means, regardless of your view on that one controversial subset of the community, you need to work with us. That means regardless of your views on dysphoria, you need to work with us. We can’t afford to get divided on the million different flavors of queer discourse running rampant through the community.
Those laws I mentioned earlier? Their endgame is to make trans existence illegal.
They will keep pushing the age for transitioning back further and further until it’s basically inaccessible. They will make performative drag illegal, then all drag, and drag will include trans people in their eyes. They will keep going until we are forced to detransition and go into the closet.
This is really fucking scary and we need, above all else, to be a united community right now.
So please. Fucking please. Set aside your hot takes and discourse. We all live and die by what rights we can get in an allocishet society.
This means stand with each other. Stand with aces, with aros, with enbies, with pan people, poly people, stand with mspec gays and lesbians, stand with kinksters and furries too, because we have our differences but if we get caught up fighting each other then the people that want us all dead will take advantage of that distraction and criminalize us all.
Discourse is a fucking psyop and we need to wise up to it really, really fast.
Please boost this. And please don’t argue with me on this post.
