I’m a transgender woman and like most of our kind, I’m fucking horrified.

The Democrats are blaming us for 2024’s lossx

Trump signed an executive order criminalizing our existence

And I’ve had cis friends turn on me, telling me “People like you should have left children out of it, you’ve hurt your cause forever!!111!11”

I have no hope for the future, I feel truly and horrifically, cooked.

I just wanna know. Why did this happen? Why does everyone suddenly hate transpeople when Anti-Trans Policies were deeply unpopular as recently as 2023?

Why? Why? Why?

I just want to know, what did we do wrong? What changed? Why is this happening to us? When do the papers come saying they’ve “corrected my gender marker” or are they just going to drag me off to the camps instead?

I just… I’m trying to hold it together, and I fucking can’t.

        I honestly thought I was safe, that the GOP’s threats were bluster, that they could act on them but they’d fail, because the American people had spoken and weren’t going to buy that the “threat was already in their locker room.”

        Whatever bad experiences you may have had with hexbear, they at least knew that you & they (and I, as a socialist) weren’t safe. They knew the GOP’s threats weren’t bluster.

        Because, unlike liberals, socialists understand fascism. And they know that, when the hour of reckoning came, liberals have historically sided with fascists, because fascism doesn’t threaten the capitalist system.

            As you like. I think most of them will be as confused by what just happened as you are, though, because most of them are liberals.

              I’m not surprised that the Democrats didn’t protect us (They were always doing that begrudgingly)

              I’m surprised that the American Public sees erasing my existence as “restoring sanity”
