And the discrimination that I face as a trans person is very different from the discrimination that a person of color feels in this country. The remedies aren’t the same, and umbrella terming discrimination just sweeps it under the rug and fails to provide a tangible set of goals to fix.

Fixing discrimination globally all at once is impossible. It creates apathy and makes us all bystanders to the problems. Legally ensuring that the nurse or teacher doesn’t misgender me is a very fixable and tangible thing that is very easy and clear cut.

It’s not even originally in the Bible’s earliest translations to prohibit gay sex, originally it just condemned pedophilic sex and attraction and it was changed to target gay people instead of the church’s own clergy.

I still pass a place in California where they have a bunch stashed. I don’t think they are selling well either.

They’re gonna happen eventually if nothing improves. There’s a breaking point to this all that we are on a collision course with.

They wouldnt be trying to throw trans people, women’s rights, immigrants etc. under the bus so hard if they weren’t desperate for the distraction. Genocide is the last gasp of empires as they fail. And we will fall if trump wins or further damages democracy.

And also not that different from how most people would describe their fellow earthers.

Ie - we aren’t that much more complicated than that when it gets right down to the philosophical break down of what an “I” is.
