I just can’t wait for those of us in the queer community to either be thrown in camps or flee the company, all so that the people who didn’t vote can tell me it’s actually because of Biden.
As a trans person, it’s been so upsetting how quickly the people who claim to support you just ignore the looming danger. They don’t want to vote for Biden because he supports a genocide while ignoring the genocide that’s about to happen in our own country.
What’s really terrifying, is that history repeats itself. The Weimar Republic of the 1920’s was supportive of trans Rights as well, like America currently, it had the first trans health center, including the first governmental support for trans people Transvestitenschein
Then someone who had a huge gang of violent thugs took over power and all his enemies ended up dead or locked up.
You know those, “if you could go back and shoot Hitler before he came to power” thought experiments? But I would never condone violence…
Yes, I get it, things are shit. Innocent people and children are dying. You can and should be upset about that. But we don’t have the luxury of taking our ball and going home. Even more people are going to get hurt if Biden doesn’t win.
It’s a myth that there isn’t anything to vote for, only against. We have LGBT rights to vote for. Minority rights. Protecting vulnerable Americans. Stopping fascism.
Let my future kids and their kids call me a genocide supporters for voting for Biden. As long as they can identify as who they want and love who they want without any persecution, I’ll accept the condemnation.
Not in the slightest. But allowing more genocides to grow and occur throughout the world because you’re angry about one genocide in particular is absurd.
We can’t save everyone, and we have to accept that. That doesn’t mean we can’t try to save as many people as possible, however.
Rather, evil is perpetuated when immoral principles become normalized over time by people who do not think about things from the standpoint of others. Evil becomes commonplace; it becomes the everyday. Ordinary people — going about their everyday lives — become complicit actors in systems that perpetuate evil. Source
For real - we’ve got youth bans all over the place, just got an adult effective ban in Ohio, with more and more states making existing as trans in public a jail-able offense, but GeNoCiDe JoE
Especially frustrating when it’s coming literally from a trans person. In a high-risk state. It boggles the mind.
I’d be willing to bet that not too long ago, you couldn’t point to Palestine on a map, could you? I’ll bet you had NO IDEA there was even a conflict brewing there.
And dollars to donuts- you had to have the entire thing explained to you several times before you chose your side.
Roe got overturned with Biden in office, you really think your rights are safe with him in office? The SC will still be corrupt. The state you live in seems far more important

I would. I have thought about doing it myself so many times. The logistics of it though, I can’t. I’m not the Jackal.
EXACTLY.

Genocide is okay as long as it happens somewhere else. AmIRite?

Matthew 26:52
I’m not religious. I just play one to fuck with evangelicals.
There’s a great TikTok meme where Peter takes “you are my rock” to mean “be Dwayne the Rock and crush your enemies”
If I can save people by taking up the sword, then I accept perishing by it as penance.

How is a trans person in America more important than a Palestinian?
Where did I say that? Nobody’s free until everybody’s free. The genocide in Palestine is obviously abhorrent, I don’t want it happening here too
One person vs a group? You have an argument. But how are you gonna complain about one genocide while openly admitting to being OK with another?
There IS no current trans genocide. There IS a current genocide in Gaza. Speculating in hypotheticals is folly.

Well that was helpful.

Dollars to donuts 🍩 I’d bet you’re nuttier than a squirrel turd. 💩
Interesting.
Going to block you now. You’re a useless human being.
This comment smells like projection
And yours smells like you have nothing to offer to the discussion.
Biden gets in:
Trump gets in:
Which would you prefer?
You can see the future?
You should play the lottery.
Roe got overturned with Biden in office, you really think your rights are safe with him in office? The SC will still be corrupt. The state you live in seems far more important
You should read up on Project 2025. Yes my rights are safer with Biden than with orange Hitler
I have a queer daughter and these people who say you shouldn’t vote for Biden (but they’re not saying Trump should win!) scare me.
Queer people keep telling me Palestine is a nice place, maybe that’s a better option than America?
