I literally have to wonder if my NC Birth Certificate (updated to reflect my Gender Affirming Care) will still be valid or if I'll get a letter saying they found an "Error" and "corrected it"
I have to worry about the Government turning my boyfriend into a homosexual by declaring me a man, how the fuck do we even get here?
I'm sure soon the Xestapo will pay a visit to deliver your new corrected documents
FINALLY! something to help LOWER those gas prices!
/s
Even setting aside people's gender identity, 1.7% of the population is intersex. A law can't make that untrue.
not sure how to tell you this, but they can absolutely uhm… change that number
Awfully reminiscent of the trouble the NASDAP had trying to draw the line between Jews and non-Jews. It made them look like fucking idiots, and I hope to hell history treats the GOP the same way.
They'd have to shoot me before I will ever deny my own womanhood. Not even with a gun to my head would I call myself a man. I lived in a closet for 18 years and it nearly killed me. It damaged me in ways I have to live with forever. I am a woman. They can say whatever the fuck they want it won't change that. I will not bow my head. If it comes to it, I'll die with my back straight, proud of who I am.
Same sister, I'll happily die a woman if the alternative is living as a man. Gender affirming care is the reason I didn't have to make that choice, and I may have to decide again...
Don't worry. We got your back.
Thank you. Truly.
You and me! I'm also gay and there's no way they'll ever step over me like that. We've suffered way too much collectively to lie down at their feet. It's time to fight back--again!
Glad you're here. As a fellow LGBTQ+ card carrying member, we are going to keep fighting even harder. Let this presidency radicalize you.
Proud of you, but seriously, be careful? Emigrate to a country where people are treated like humans, perhaps? You might even be able to request asylum.
Just don't get yourself killed because some psycho said something stupid
You have a lot of allies who feel similarly about being forced to be cruel to people we love and care about. Let's live through these terrible times with our humanity intact.
Even ignoring socially constructed gender identities, in the case of biological sexes, this is scientifically wrong. The world doesn’t fit into neat little boxes like these people think it does
His next trick will be to define pi as 3
Just putting this here if anyone is interested in someone actually trying to have done something similar.
In order to reduce the cost of space launches, executive order gravity to be smaller.
Fascists think they can force the world into their boxes through violence and cruelty. We must never stop resisting.
Just ignore the outrage machine and focus on what things you can do to help. The outrage is only to make you tired. Sue when you must, support businesses, organizations, and politicians you agree with financially, vote in every election, don't add to any problem, and ignore Trump and his minions to the best extent you can.
Congrats to all the "both sides are the same" folks who stayed home and handed this election to Trump.
I don't think it's fair to attribute his winning the election on people that didn't vote for Kamala. Young white men came out in droves voting for him - we cannot underestimate the political results of figures like Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, and Ben Shapiro and the kind of rhetoric they're able to spread.
Same for the “establishment Democrats suck so I didn’t vote” as well. Because trump is so much better.
we won‘t win against these politics of resentment with resentment against potential allies

How does this help men and women? I know how it hurts people, but who is HELPED by this?
I have a joke about this:
Someone once asked a Republican what he thought about a shooting in a Queer bar, he responded "thats horrible, I hear a Muslim did it. Those dirty savages will never integrate with western values".
So the person responded "oh so do you care about queer people now?", he responded "of course not, they harm womens rights".
So the person responded "oh so do you support womens rights now?", he responded "of course not, I think the rights of children should take precedence".
So he responded "oh so do you care about the children now?", he responded "of course not, they're leaches on society. I only support hardworking Americans".
So he responded "Oh so do you support workers rights now?", he responded "of course not, workers today are lazy, I support only the good religious Jewish and Christian workers"
So he responded "Oh so do you support Jewish people now?", he responded "Of course not, I hear they're extremely Islamaphobic"
So he responded "Oh so do you support Muslim people now?", he responded "of course not, I hear one of them shot up a queer bar"
Fascists.
Edit: Whenever the question is "Who could possibly be helped by this?" the answer is "Fascists."
