how would that work? I'm trans nonbinary, live in oregon. The state laws are already totally divorced from federal anyway. My gender literally does not exist my social security card, but it does on my driver's license. Would this extremely vague policy just mean your social security certificate could never be updated??
The most likely scenario though, is that the republicans & democrats are just going to play football with our rights, just like they have with abortion rights, and nothing will change federally either way.
It's kinda like how when the Supreme Court was like, look trans people! You can now no longer be fired for being trans! [if you can prove it and you have the time and money to take your employer to court]! Now they have to make up a lie before they fire you first!
I agree, no matter who wins this electron states rights will mean more for gsm than any federal changes.
I highly doubt any third party will even make the board, the only entity that would make substantive change for the better.
I honestly think the only way to help is direct action to help people relocate to states that are better, and strengthening communities in person.
yeah, local is always going to have a lot more impact. Shit, we could pay for a trans comrade to go through medical school and then have them be the hormone chapo doc, and set up a crowdfund for trans comrades and probably do more good than the democrats will do for trans people nationally.
That's (another) shitty thing about Joe Biden's low enthusiasm numbers, i worry it's going to hit downballot dems that will actually make a difference too. Someone like Kshama Sawant isn't perfect but if we had one of her in each big city? Can you imagine? Or even a couple more AOCs in congress gives us rhetorical power and helps the movement grow even if they are p much always blocked from doing cool shit.
Basically, it is each person's choice to engage in electoralism or not. For me, i don't see much positive impact esp with biden since i'm in a blue state, he's more conservative then our shitty lib mayor. Deffo voting downballot and encouraging everyone to voting downballot as well tho. A blue senate will do more than biden imo.
Exactly, and that's what makes me say fuck Biden even more. The intentional sabotage of the progressive wing and welcoming people who are vocally opposed to LGBT rights into their arms. Dem want to use LGBT rights as a culture war shit rather than make a substantive change, not an accelerationist but I think another 4 years of ineffectual trump followed by an even more energized progressive party that has more leverage in the party is ultimately.better but also know very well that mask mask off trump would usher in the most fucked of stuff domestically whilst a mask mask off Biden will usher in fucked stuff internationally.
