There is (or was) a rather long thread somewhere on the fedi explaining why LGBTQ+ folks - and especially trans women - are perceived by white Christian nationalists as such a threat to their desired social order. It had hundreds of boosts.

I'm pretty sure it was written by some sort of academic with relevant credentials, as it ended with at least three posts of references! Other than that, I can only recall they were on a server with a 500 character limit.

Does this ring any bells for anyone?

It's time for my #introduction

I spend most of my days with graphic design work at my studio or researching for my work with the German Cyborgs Society (Cyborgs e.V.)

My current interests are neurodiverse driven design and anything about the 20th Century cyberneticist Alice Mary Hilton.

In my free time I love #StarTrek, #TheExpanse, learning about advanced cooking and baking skills, and interior design. I love #Champagne and #Mixology

@[email protected] Agreed. Of course, many of us live in gerrymandered places where our progressive, liberal votes don’t count. I vote blue, but living here I know it’s more a token vote than anything meaningful. Though that may be changing, Texas is more purple than ever lately.

I am voting for Beto in Texas and hoping this horrible moment turns around enough conservatives to kick out the current Texas government. We need more blue in Congress, too.
