@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

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

@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.

@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.

@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)

@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

@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.

@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
