In audio released Friday evening, senators and representatives from Ohio and Michigan revealed the "endgame" is to ban transgender care "for everyone."
It's almost like this is exactly what trans people have been warning about since the 1st proposals of the sports bans to cis allies and "neutrals" only to fall on incredulous ears and met with sentiments of optimistic gaslighting 🙄
I'm not a libertarian, obviously, but I do not understand how the F***: "allowing 'adults to do what they want' with respect to gender-affirming care was no longer congruent with 'the libertarian position.'" Isn't "letting adults do what they want" as long as it does not cause physical or property damage to others pretty much EXACTLY the libertarian position?
It feels so, so frustrating to have this thing that saved my life, that truly made me a real human being in ways I was not before, that brings me joy, contentment, the ability to work on my mental health, the ability to be a member of society, and have it be torn down again and again. How is it mutilation if it helped me? How can something so good for me be some horrible thing? Do they truly believe it's their god that told them to do this? Why? There's nothing in the Bible about us at all! Why do these political detransitioners not understand that their experience perhaps isn't the same as everyone else's?
It's just so disheartening, because no amount of showing how happy we are will help change their minds. No studies, no stories, nothing. They won't stop until we're eliminated. The only threat we ever posed? Being different.
Absolutely love how they cherry-pick science that suits their agenda (prefrontal cortex not developing till 24) and completely ignore or even outright deny that which goes against it (gender affirming care saves lives). They've been doing that with climate change, now they're doing it to target trans people.
Our big problem is the total lack of interest or pushback from Liberal and Democrat lawmakers. We keep on throwing doctors and scientists at them to testify for us. Why is there nothing coming or any planning with legislators against them?
Is this what Biden said with his remark about “having our back”? The literal truth is that I feel that no one has our back and that I’m on my own.
I already knew what their endgame was, but hearing it makes me physically ill.
No matter how "blue" we think our state is, trans people are under attack everywhere, and our ability to live our lives is in jeopardy in this country.
The christofascist, quiverfull, religious extremist army is coming for all of us, and in my case the "they" includes some of my immediate blood relatives and "us" means anyone that isn't a cis, white, straight, christian man or his obedient wife and children. The trans of "us" are just the main target now.
This reminds me of the 1942 Wannsee Conference (watch 2001’s “Conspiracy”)
Literal nazi vibes in that meeting
I have no words to describe the feelings of rage and injustice I feel after reading about this even though we all knew it was their plan
I wonder how far they’ll go - after banning gender-affirming care, perhaps they’ll criminalize existing while trans? I mean they already do when it comes to bathrooms
Human rights is the thing that led us to civil war the first time and while I certainly don’t want it to happen again, I can’t imagine another 20 years of escalation especially as the pace has increased of late. I’m hoping their self-own on abortion rights is enough to summon the blue wave but anyone reading that transcript should be alarmed enough about what the future of this country may hold if we collectively stand by and watch this happen
They already published the end game in Project 25. These people are the ones putting it into action. If there isn't any concerted effort to go head to head with Sapir and his anti-trans propaganda using SEGM and Genspect's expanding flood of anti-trans websites, they will continue pass whatever anti-trans legislation they want. They are proving that in Red states now. They don't even need to be right, they just need to be loud and sow doubt into the public sphere. Everytime there's a new legitimate trans study out Sapir and Co. write 10 negative articles about it as if SEGM is the actual authority on transgender issues.
These people believe they are doing God's work, trans people be dammed.
This isn’t surprising. Back in 2020 or so two of the mist vicious lobbyists in the country - Matthew Sharpe from ADF and Terry Schilling from APP - pretty much spelled it out in a NYT interview. They knew they could garner support if they framed it around minors. But that was never the goal. It is total eradication. And has been from the start.
This is fascism. And no quarter can be given. Medical institutions and professionals need to let it be known that they will not comply with any anti-trans legislation regarding gender-affirming care. Mayors, chiefs of police, etc., need to let it be known that such laws will not be enforced in their jurisdictions. NIH funded researchers need to let it be known that if their institution knuckles under they will take their labs and money elsewhere. Medical licensing boards need to let it be known that any attempt to pull the license of anyone for providing trans care will not be recognized. I let my boss know (at Pittsburgh Children's) two years ago (when Texas Children's knuckled under) that if anything like that ever happens here I am looking for another job immediatel. The needs of patients come first. People that refuse to react this way are worthless, spineless pieces of shit no matter how much they claim to be "allies".
They know what’s best for everyone, don’t they? I wonder if they will ban their cis wives from “mutilating” their bodies with boob jobs. Y’all religion is not benign. It’s all about control. F-ing enraging.
This story is making waves folks. Thank you for subscribing. This is what you allow me to do, and I will forever be grateful.
That's what they're saying now but there ultimate endgame is the genocidal elimination of us.

I utterly sickened by their disingenuous smiles, disgusting swine each and every one of them.

Vote blue
So we’re basically doing the Wannsee conference again.
F these people
