Most people didn’t care when they came for trans people

“Doesn’t effect me”

Almost half of people didn’t care when they overturned Roe

“Doesn’t effect me”

Now they’re coming for birth control.

So where is the line? When will it finally effect enough people so they stand up?

@flexghost My favorite take with Dobbs was always "Hey trans women, don't think this doesn't affect you too! They're coming for you next!"

It's like yes, we've been trying to say exactly that about all the things that have been happening to us that you've been pretending don't affect you. Or worse yet, you've been considering something that's for your benefit.

@finley it’s awful that we have to show a roadmap of how people will personally be affected before they give a shit. Just mind boggling.

@flexghost Yeah. Especially when people find out that genital inspections are affecting cis girls. I mean sure that's valid too, but it should be enough for you that trans girls are affected.

@finley anyone being marginalized or sexually assaulted (especially minors) should have had people in the streets protesting
