I've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click boost.

How come?

I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

Cait the Proud Trans Woman 3d ago

A thought for trans allies in this time:

You often ask us what you can do to help. Well, here's something you can do. Wear trans badges, buttons, pins, scarves, whatever you've got. Explicitly. I wanna see that blue and pink EVERYWHERE.

Because the more of you cis folk do that, the safer we will be in crowds and such. It will mean that wearing a badge of support for trans people doesn't necessarily out that person as trans.

"But wait," you're thinking maybe, "if I do that, people might think *I* am trans!"

Well, why is that a problem for you? Would you be offended by someone thinking you might be trans? Would you be scared? Welcome to our world.

This is your time, cis people. You were all ready to call yourselves allies when it didn't matter more than changing your PFP background. Now the rubber meets the road. We need you. We need your help to normalise our existence to other cis people. It could save lives.

If someone accuses you of being trans (imagine being *accused* of existing while trans?), don't deny it. Ask why it matters to them. Keep calm.

That's all for now. I didn't do a "1 of x" on these because I didn't know how many I would post, and it's not necessarily finished. I intend to come back to these at some point. In the meantime, if you want more from me, check out my previous toot about my Mosaic of Thoughts. #resist #rebuild

Government needs to give a place to more than just two points of view. First past the post won't cut it. Government should be a place where different groups have to work together for the greater good. Voters compromising so that the party they like least is defeated is a flaw in the system. #resist #rebuild

We need to get government out of the business of telling people who they are. Government does not tell anyone who to be, but is there to help people to be who they are. #resist #rebuild

The role of government is to make the society better for everyone. It's not to favor anyone, or to allow anyone to make money. Wealth is only of value when it is used. #resist #rebuild

The humans of this nation are the supreme priority. Companies, property, wealth, whatever are secondary. Humans have rights. Companies do not. Money does not. #resist #rebuild

There's no better place to start than the Declaration of Independence. "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all ... are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...." #resist #rebuild

For decades, the Democrats have failed to provide a vision for the US. Since by and large they're still failing, I guess I'll give it a try. #resist #rebuild
