  • In the 70’s US, most people were entirely unaware of the subject. Violence against trans people absolutely occurred, and it was absolutely horrific, but the problems mostly stemmed from true ignorance. It was not like today where over 500 anti-trans bills were introduced this year to systematically harm, erase, and even hunt people for not identifying with what they were assigned at birth. With multiple organizations like the HRC declaring a state of emergency for trans people, yes, things today are undoubtedly more hostile than they have been in the past.

    Talk to older people

    How about you do that? I do quite frequently, in fact. From the events I’ve created or attended to celebrate trans identities, older trans people have exclusively expressed to me their fears for the growing hatred, and how it is unlike anything they have seen before. There are far more people that are accepting today than ever, yes, but there are also far more people who have so much extreme bigotry that they commit violence against trans people.






  • So courageous of you. That’ll really help those people you claim to care about. I’m glad you’re able to make a genocide about you and how you feel about it. You’re so morally superior for choosing the path of giving up and ignoring things you don’t understand, I hope you still feel smug about not supporting our society for being imperfect while trump starts putting people in camps.

    Edit: also, from someone that actually chose to spend their life trying to do something about the shit you’re talking about: go fuck yourself. It’s so fuckin annoying seeing so many people on Lemmy think the most moral thing is to give up and ignore the problems of others while simultaneously using those problems against those who actually try to make a fucking difference. It’s basically “well you didn’t fix it so it’s your fault”.




  • Biden had a full Congress to work with when he took office in '21 and he rolled back virtually nothing advanced by Trump.

    Yeah you have literally no idea what the fuck you’re talking about, like at all. That’s okay, not everyone needs to know everything about everything.

    Check out Biden’s first 100 days of executive orders.

    Immigration policy is worse

    Objectively false as long as the perspective you have isn’t that of a xenophobic bigot.

    His foreign policy is worse

    Explain. If you’re referring to the stuff in Afghanistan then you’re unfortunately misled as Trump ensured that would have to happen through actions he took at the end of 2020.

    “Literally pointing at Biden’s actual policies” by making shit up lmfao get the fuck outta here. Also, yeah, Dems had 2021-2023 to make stuff better. Unfortunately, yes, Sinema/Manchin have had disastrous effects in passing bills. Can you please point out a better bill from the current Congress or any Congress since Obama than the Inflation Reduction Act? Because I can’t.

    I hope that you’re simply ignorant, the only other explanation is blatant malice.
