What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?

Easy loophole: Just identify as your gender. Trans women are just women now. Trans men are just men now.

These people are some of the shittiest people in the US. It boggles my mind attacking people who do NOTHING to them except exist

My theory is that anyone who's bothered by gay/trans/etc people is a closeted something and doesn't want to be reminded of their own insecurities.

They're terrified of seeing an attractive woman and later learning she has a dick, ✨ making them gay

They can't fucking stand that they are required to hide whatever seriously fucked up thing that they are into, and think everyone should have to suffer.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I think it's this. It's cope to try to make a normal thing be seen as disgusting, so whatever actual disgusting shit they're doing, which always seems to be pedophelia, doesn't look so bad in contrast. It's like a preemptive both sides

Sounds like thought crime to me.

People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights

The US were built on genocide and fueled by slavery.

Most countries were. You can't work backwards. You have to work forward towards the future

Have you read black history in the US? :)

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or read about native Americans? I say read because they are almost extinct

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Or, like, any pre-2008 American history lmao

Recognizing human rights was an anomaly over the last few years, not the norm

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In most decent states there's been a ton of progress. I never claimed we were always perfect. No country has been.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

No I know. I would say all countries are pretty fucked up actually. Because human leaders are greedy and awful human beings in most cases.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

You say "decent states" as if you think rural east Oregon is better than Atlanta in that regard, just because Oregon is blue and Georgia is red.

Who upvotes this no true Scotsman bullshit?

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (8 children)

I'm sorry, but when you actively support bullshit laws like this that dehumanize people, you don't get to call yourself an American. Simple as that
