I'm sure this won't be used as fuel to ramp up the war on trans people :doomjak: beyond terrified for my trans siblings and basically any gender non-conforming folks.

    Remember yesterday when everyone was saying that he could be an op because he looks like he was engineered to be as triggering as possible to as many different reactionary groups as possible?

    :yea:

    Yup.

    And I'm not trying to lathe this into existence, but I think we'll see them go after trans adults by saying no one should be allowed alter their ability to have kids ("because you might regret it one day"). This attitude is shockingly common among doctors for people who don't want kids and want to do something medical about it. And this lines up with all the baby-making rhetoric we're hearing now that Roe's been overturned.

      Doctors everywhere: “Oh you’re a lesbian with a family history of reproductive cancer? what if you change your mind?”

        If you don’t like your uterus you can also keep it. In fact you must keep it, if you want to get rid of it we will murder you.

      return to tradition, return to heating up flat rocks to smash your nuts without incision (re: this was the common way of doing it way back when)

        Once again, trans folks proving they are much, much braver than the troops.

          fun fact if you thoroughly smash your nuts and evenly apply the pressure you wont get nerve damage and the nuts will dissolve into your body and that was the basis of antiquity castration

    I already got an unsolicited notification from the New York Post saying "Highland Park Shooter dressed as a woman" making it sound like he was a crossdresser in his personal time.

      I wouldn't be surprised if he put on women's clothes because of the fake news the channers tried to push that the Uvalde guy was a trans woman. Like people were saying yesterday, this guy was cooked up in a lab to gin up the fash.

        Idk how serious vs ironic people were being when the "American gladio" hypothesis was first trotted out but it's looking more correct with each passing day. Only difference compared to gladio part 1 is that the American left of the 10s and 20s is way less organized than the post war left was in Italy

          I saw the PSL out in Chicago on Sunday. 16 communists in a park shouting into a megaphone and holding signs was enough to elicit 4 Chicago police and the paddy wagon driving in circles around the park. The intent is very much to suppress any kind of leftist organization. I think the increasing anti-trans rhetoric is part of the suppression because every left organization I've been in has had several trans members.

          At this point I 95% believe it. Like it basically feels like Occam’s razor at this point; If there is an American gladio, this is exactly what it would look like, and if there isn’t how the fuck would this happen? This situation is way more explainable if there is.

    You already know the solution pushed esp by the right in america will be something like having to show ID to catch AGAB/gendered clothing discrepancies that will literally only be used to terrorize trans/GNC people or something equally depraved :agony-deep:
