Fuck Gavin Newsom’s traitorous ass. Trans rights are human rights.

Yeah, also she didn't get caught because of an ID requirement, she got caught because she bragged about it to someone, but of course that won't stop Gavin from pushing dogshit voter suppression measures

TIL you can only be a traitorous shit when actually campaigning for something.

His team is floating the idea of him running for president.

Being able to access my medicine is absolutely at the forefront of my mind, thanks for letting me know I'm not helping.

How does that help anyone but yourself?

Your part is throwing everyone else to the wolves until you are fighting alone? If you can't fight with us at least don't fight against us.

"How does chemotherapy help anyone but the cancer patient?"

That's what you sound like.

Miaou@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 68d (1 reply)

And that's why people say "universal healthcare", not "universal chemo"

BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 67d

If a group of politicians were trying to take away access to chemo specifically then I assure you people would advocate specifically for access to chemo.

It doesn't have to, you fucking nitwit. Chemotherapy is for the benefit of the cancer patient.

And guess what? Everyone benefits from living in a society where everyone is able to access the medical care that they need.

Only someone truly insane, out-of-touch, malicious, misanthropic, cynical, selfish, and short-sighted would ever ask a question like "But how do I or anyone else benefit from you receiving medical treatment?"

My most urgent issue is human rights. Ipso facto trans rights. If you think you can Munich Conference your way into "helping" fight the modern Nazis, you are the one who should reassess the value you are adding

Perhaps it should be the increasing reduction in resource access and the loss of the tangible value of labour within the market economy monopoly.

"I don't give a single damn about racial equality!" Yells the white Pullman employee. Division and dilution is how we dug this hole. Stop digging.

What do think happens to an out group with a fascist government? Maybe take a trip to the Holocaust museum to find out.

Just say you hate trans people and get it over with. Be honest with yourself and others.

minorkeys@sh.itjust.works · -7 pts · 67d

But I don't. So....you're wrong?

qevlarr@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 67d

What?

ReptilianCleric@lemmy.zip · 18 pts · 68d

If the fact that some people have their rights stripped from them for spurious reasons is not urgent, then your entire perspective is irrelevant.

muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 68d (9 replies)

Pray tell, what is more urgent than respect for your fellow human beings right to exist?

minorkeys@sh.itjust.works · -6 pts · 68d (8 replies)

Food. Water. Shelter. Air. Freedom from bondage. Lots of shit is. Wtf are you talking about?

muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 67d (5 replies)

Those are not mutually exclusive to trans rights. There’s actually considerable overlap.

minorkeys@sh.itjust.works · -1 pts · 67d (4 replies)

If rights are shared with non-trans, they aren't trans rights, they're just human rights

muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 67d (3 replies)

But if you decide trans people don’t qualify as human, their rights don’t matter anymore. If that becomes acceptable, all anyone has to do to deny you of your own human rights is to decide you are some lesser life form without legal protections.

Existential threats kind of supercede anything else honestly. Just because the Republicans happen to be doing absolutely everything evil and destructive possible across the board, that doesn't mean any of the individual issues are less severe.

minorkeys@sh.itjust.works · -11 pts · 68d (2 replies)

Not getting a specific trans right isn't an existential threat and it is relatively less severe than the emergence of a technofacist surveillance state and the re-enslavement of humanity, imo.

Transwomen are women, and I will not have my womanhood robbed from me.

And trans men are men, and I won’t have my manhood robbed from me because I’m not scared of people existing
