it’s never been Democrats but Republicans marginalizing us.
Excuse me, what? Neither party has been welcoming to trans people until extremely recently. Democrats uphold the police state, and have historically been just as willing to use police violence to crack down on trans people. you know Stonewall? As in the riot against police raids- literally had a Democrat mayor at the time.
Obama only ‘evolved’ on gay marriage in 2015, have you seen how transphobic early 2000s mainstream democrats were? How short is your historical horizon for ‘never’ exactly? I would urge you to question your blind devotion to team blue, and read some queer history, frankly.
How can you possibly think Democrats will be the ones to start vilifying queer people when they have no past history of doing so?
No past history, They’re literally complicit in the murder of tens of thousands of people, literally civilians, as we speak. Because they have made the calculation that it will not impact them politically. You don’t see that as some sort of indication that you should not trust them?
If it suddenly became as politically ‘impossible’ to protect trans people as it is currently ‘impossible’ to stop the genocide of Palestine, I have no expectation that the people doing this genocide would stand by their principles to do something to protect a different minority group.
There are US aircraft carriers working to open sea shipping for Israel, they are completely reliant on US funding and protection. It’s a colony with America as its primary patron, if the patron pulls support, the colony crumbles.
Biden has said “if israel didn’t exist we would have to create it to protect our interests” that calculus is why he is doing this, and it’s not something I want to be a part of.
This line doesn’t really work on someone who is exasperated that literally every democrat representative I have is completely unreachable on the tens of thousands of people getting killed with our weapons.
