Not pressing to you maybe, but state sanctioned descrimination like this is dehumanizing and dangerous. Shit like this rips apart families and gets kids killed.
It would be nice to live in a world where I don’t have to worry so much about bills, but that doesn’t mean shit to me if it comes at the cost of the erasure of anyone. Trans, queer, black, Latino, I don’t give a fuck.
What good is healthcare if it’s a felony to tell your doctor what’s wrong with you?
What good is affordable housing if no one will rent to you?
The way I read jimothy’s comment is that Republican politicians are using trans people as a distraction from issues they don’t want to address. Conservatives are making problems by claiming trans people are bad in order to deflect attention away from problems their constiuents actually care about.
Conservative voters, if presented with the choice of healthcare or trans athletes, would absolutely prefer their politicians to focus on healthcare. A farmer in Iowa does not actually give a fuck what bathroom a trans person uses, their attention has just been redirected in that direction by grifters.
This is exactly it. They have to keep focusing on more narrower minorities. Can’t do it to women, blacks, or even gay people anymore. They NEED a minority scapegoat to blame all their problems on. There’s like 8 trans athletes in college in the U.S. right now and they passed a bill to ban them from competing. Meanwhile there’s a housing crisis, fuel crisis, climate crisis, etc etc.
I’m not saying the problems trans people face aren’t real or anything like that. Just that there seem to be more pressing issues that are affecting a greater number of people.
So you don’t think things would be better if the GOP just ignored trans people and let them be and instead focused on fixing the economy? Because I think it would be great if right-wing politicians stopped focusing on people’s sex, gender, and sexuality.

Liberation for all or none.

Less than 1% of the population.
Wait, are you saying trans people are less than 1% of the population, or that less than 1% of the population get housing, groceries, & healthcare?
I think you know the answer to that
What percent of the population do you think trans people make up?
apparently the average polled american thinks it’s 20%
The US is in the middle of a trans genocide, but sure go on and tell me about how that isn’t pressing because it doesn’t affect you specifically

The confusion is understandable, as it’s worded poorly.
Yeah you definitely misinterpreted his comment
