I am angry and have a right to be so. Almost 400 anti-LGBTQIA laws have been passed this year. Laws trying their damnedest to hide us, shrink us, kill us, and destroy our identities.

Attacks on the trans community harm everyone and everyone’s rights and freedoms. This isn’t an issue to say will lost votes, if that’s even true. Lives are at stake, Rebecca. Human lives. That’s why Tony used “stochastic terrorism.”

@Heimdall @curiouscatastrophe @rebeccabguinn Additionally, the article I posted mentioned growing support for gay marriage (yay). However that wasn’t always the case, either.

We don’t fight for human rights and dignity because they’re approved all of the time. We do because it’s right. We also can multitask, by the way.

@TonyStark @Heimdall @curiouscatastrophe TonyI live in red California, I work with Latinos. this issue does have some questions. The GOP wins on some aspects of transgender with the middle. That’s why it’s effective propaganda. To deny that it works with the middle is not wise. How do you get ppl to vote against the radical right. I can guarantee calling ppl transphobic and uneducated not going work

Rebecca; What I'm interpreting your posts to mean is that we (the left) should not worry about rights for Trans people, because it's a difficult topic. We should stick to more mainstream issues. I think that's why you're getting the pushback you are. I'm not abandoning people. I'm not going to leave them to fight for the basic right to exist. I can't be that person. I won't be.
