    My son is trans. Please vote for Joe Biden so he can have the protections he needs and I don’t have to stay up at night worrying about him.

      I am very good friends with a trans women who I worked with for a number of years. She is seriously considering leaving the US because of this bullshit. So yes, please vote for Biden.

      Also, I hope you son is doing well! It’s a hell of a process.

        My best friend is trans and he’s considering doing the same. It’s so bullshit that he has to leave an entire life behind because the conservatwats are so hateful.

        Most people are unable to flee the U.S. Most countries will not simply accept someone without meeting specific criteria.

      Friendly reminder that everyone who believes in accelerationist BS is privileged af.

      Looking at you, Hexbear… and Lemmy.ml people who deleted my comments yesterday calling out Hexbear as tankies

      Sadly, the behavior isn’t limited to certain instances though
