I’m not trans. As far as I know, my kids aren’t at the moment. Nobody in my family is. None of my good friends are. I don’t prescribe medication for gender affirming care. I don’t specifically treat folks for gender dysphoria. So why do I give a fuck?
You don’t punch down. There’s no transgender machine producing trans judiciary and trans politicians and trans PACs to come for my cisgender. There are trans folks being discriminated against, outed, beaten, jailed, and killed. I hate bullies.
Right on! One of the most contemptible kinds of behavior is when people join an orgy of viciousness because they want to be one of the mob kicking someone who is down and helpless. You have to be a sick dimwit to persecute trans people the way MAGA bullies are doing now.
This is not difficult: Gender-affirming care is health care, period, and decisions about that care belong to patients and their health care providers (and families in the case of minors), not politicians on an ideological crusade.
@mcnado There's a lot of good reasons to stand up to bigotry in general and transphobia in particular.
But "I hate bullies" is a very good one and should be mentioned more often.
@mcnado „First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me“
Martin Niemöller, 1946
Nobody at my last job knew I was trans, or even the job before that. But aggressive Epstein club politicians are trying to change that...
