It’s not the moneyed class that’s worrying about trans people, it’s the religious worrying about losing their ability to tell people how to live.
Same as it was with gay rights 20 years ago.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

The elite doesn't care, they only care about your money and they get them anyway. To them, you're not a man, a woman or gender fluid. You're money to get.
As Lewis Black put it, "they see us as meat with eyes."
It’s ultimately control. If you have a choice you want to make and someone can put into law that you’re not allowed to make that choice, that puts them in a position of power. It makes you feel powerless, stressed, and small. People are less likely to fight if they feel this way.
I've reread the title of this post five times now and the only thing I'm certain of is that I have no idea what it's trying to say.
It's just being used as a lever to pull so the uneducated vote for them and ignore their own interests.
