I love it when a news item becomes a ridiculous little microcosm version of a larger subject I've been trying to teach people about. In this case, I'm specifically referencing the way the ongoing trans pogrom, sold under the guise of protecting women and children from the "threat" trans people, umm, existing, somehow represents, ultimately serves the purpose of maintaining pre-existing reactionary hierarchies that have almost nothing to do with trans people. This story comes to us from the wo...

Looks like this strip is already making the rounds. Fun with ethno-nationalist dog whistles!
2124 - Nowhere Girl: "What I want cis white liberals…" - disabled.social
What I want cis white liberals to understand is there's a reason so many poor, trans, Black, Hispanic, Arabic, and other people are upset about politics right now, and it's not because we're "low information voters" or we just feel like being mean to your heroes.

More and more trans people are fleeing home states that are unsafe, have bathroom laws, are trying or have succeeded in banning HRT & other trans healthcare. Today at work I trained a woman who arrived in Detroit from Texas three months ago. If it weren't actively dangerous to be trans in Texas she'd probably still be there. My manager and her partner would still be in Kentucky if that state weren't dangerous for them. (2/n)
