This is the sound of the Biden administration throwing the trans community under the bus on the anniversary of Stonewall.
But remember, he "has our back."
bsky.app/profile/acin... What use is having one's back covered when there's an ongoing full-frontal assault?
Exploring the metaphor further, isn't that more like using trans people as a convenient body shield? One that can be disposed of once shot to pieces?
Counterpoint: trans people are not without agency, it's true, so the original promise may have some validity.
But policy protections need to be robust if they're to be taken at all seriously
I sincerely believe trans people are going to have to physically fight against fascist street gangs. 2022 was a preview.
I don't think that ends well
Then again, I don't have high hopes for much these days.
After all, I'm a misanthropic humanist
I didn't say fighting the state
The concern is that the Democrats are just going to let it happen...
