@nik Most of them don't actually give a shit about the gender stuff, most of them voted for Trump for other political reasons or because they live in communities where that's just what you do

@scathach@stereophonic.space @nik@misskey.bubbletea.dev a lot of people also just don't wan't to cause friction in public so they will be superficially pleasant even if they despise you

@scathach@stereophonic.space @nik@misskey.bubbletea.dev Do you think all the racists on here shout slurs whenever they encounter a black or hispanic person? I'm sure most of them are cordial around strangers most of the time irl

@anemone @nik @scathach people probably don't even see or think about trans ppl most of the time and they just voted against harris not for trump

@sun@shitposter.world @nik@misskey.bubbletea.dev @scathach@stereophonic.space they probably do when they see one

@anemone @nik @scathach I only really see trans ppl on here I never see them afk down here.

@sun @anemone @nik @scathach People tend to forget they're highly over-represented online but not very prominent irl

@arcana @anemone @nik @sun @scathach so frickin overrepr3sented I stg I go to X or something see a girl who's interested in math or programming they're 100% trans

@Merc @anemone @arcana @nik @scathach I mean before now there just weren't hardly any, period. it's frankly really fucking stupid that statistics about this don't account for trans ppl and make it look like the problem is magically correcting

@arcana @anemone @nik @scathach I don't mean to imply the issues aren't important of course, tbf I could have done a protest vote for trump but I didn't because it would adversely affect a bunch of ppl I know. but I was given a dog shit choice, I am absolutely certain that a vote for harris was going to keep us on the world war 3 track with russia.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from sun@shitposter.world
@sun @anemone @nik @scathach Honestly I don't think Trump is going to actually affect trans people. I think a lot of that was scare mongering by the left and trying to use it as a culture war football.

@arcana @anemone @nik @scathach trump specifically is not going to but the republicans in congress will.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from sun@shitposter.world
@sun @anemone @nik @scathach Yeah but that was going to happen regardless of who won the presidential election honestly
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from arcana@layer02.net
@sun @anemone @nik @scathach Also, I guess for me it just seems like a lot of the "oh shit, they're doing this awful thing" is basically bringing it to still a far more liberal level than a lot of Europe is on these things.
It remains to be seen what actually happens but I don't honestly expect much besides the usual "you are no longer allowed to die for Israel"

@arcana @anemone @scathach @sun @nik the thing is this: dont states have their own laws? what stops states from providing a good life to trans people and those people moving there? sure, it sucks to have to move, but its not like everything is lost
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from mischievoustomato@mitra.taihou.website
@mischievoustomato @anemone @arcana @nik @sun @scathach its costly to move and people shouldnt be forced into leaving their homes because some redneck made 0.0005% of the population his pet sperg issue in which he imagines children are being raped, meanwhile his kid is being didled by the youth pastor.

@eemmaa @anemone @nik @mischievoustomato @sun @scathach While sure, this is the case, it's way easier to move across states than countries, and the vast majority of the world has way less access to stuff even even the red states have

@arcana @anemone @nik @mischievoustomato @sun @scathach so because its currently better than other places i should ignore the people that loudly constantly scream about how they want to make my life more uncomfortable? I think i rather take threats seriously.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from eemmaa@girlboss.gaslight.love
@eemmaa @anemone @nik @mischievoustomato @sun @scathach I'm not saying you should ignore it, I'm just saying that you have far, far more options than a lot of people do in general. Not to say it's not bad but that I think a lot of Americans are in a bubble when it comes to this stuff.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from arcana@layer02.net
@arcana @anemone @nik @mischievoustomato @sun @scathach its a dumb concept, because you are better off than people in Afghanistan or russia yourself. Its the lamest response to people worrying about the actual issues that affect them.
guys the fields are drying up there might be coming dust bowl
um excuse me theres already a dustbowl in subsahara africa

@eemmaa @anemone @nik @mischievoustomato @sun @scathach Oh yes I am sure, but I'm not complaining about Britain except for taxation and such (which Afghanistan is actually better for)
Also, I'm not doing the "other people have it worse", more that you have a lot of options other people do.
Like even with my complaints about Britain's laws, I have a solution to that. Move to the US.

@mischievoustomato @anemone @arcana @nik @scathach people are in fact mad that trump kicked it back to states instead of enforcing pro-trans at the federal level, this is the basis for calling him "anti-trans" in most cases.

@sun@shitposter.world @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @nik@misskey.bubbletea.dev @scathach@stereophonic.space we'll see how much he fucks with trans people in the military (trans people join the military at 2x the rate of the rest of people)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev
@shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev @sun@shitposter.world @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @nik@misskey.bubbletea.dev @scathach@stereophonic.space probably what he did last time. banning open trans people from the military is a quick way to earn brownie points with the religious right and wont have much cost otherwise
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from anemone@ebiverse.social
@anemone @nik @scathach @shibao @arcana I know someone that's trans and in the military, they were in afghanistan. the army shipped in their hormones, what they told me was their command structure decided that the hassle of supplying special drugs just for them and a few other people was worth it for their specialized skills. in my humble opinion it would be foolish for a commander in chief to override their subordinates making these kinds of measured decisions.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from sun@shitposter.world
@sun @anemone @shibao @nik @scathach Yeah, people in the military, especially a lot of officers are pretty against those bans. It's honestly pretty silly. It's like in Intelligence as well. I think people would be surprised how many LGBT people work in Intelligence.

@arcana @anemone @shibao @nik @scathach you literally could not do this to the state department or the CIA, there are too many

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @sun@shitposter.world @shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev @nik@misskey.bubbletea.dev @scathach@stereophonic.space i would not be. there are literal trans neonazis so why wouldn't there be trans spooks

@anemone @nik @scathach @shibao @arcana CIA and FBI and NSA go way out of their way to recruit LGBT now

@shibao @nik @scathach @anemone @arcana oh that actually, is a real one, at least allegedly there was talk about him just expelling them all via executive order. I don't think it will happen, but who the fuck knows at this point.

@sun@shitposter.world @shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev @nik@misskey.bubbletea.dev @scathach@stereophonic.space @arcana@fedi.layer02.net He banned them in his last term so why wouldn't he do it again?

@sun@shitposter.world @nik@misskey.bubbletea.dev @scathach@stereophonic.space i see them pretty often lol
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from anemone@ebiverse.social
@anemone @nik @scathach maybe if I hung out in different places in my own community I would see more. when I was in tucson I saw a trans person twice ever, but one of the times was in a gay piano bar, if I kept going back there I guess I would see a lot more.
