Teachers fired, inmates detransitioned, adult care banned, allies killed. A new phase of anti-trans politics- eradication is the goal
By Erin Reed | WASHINGTON – On Monday morning, we learned of a tragic incident: a woman was fatally attacked outside her store by an individual who had torn down the pride flag displayed there.
The following day, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals delivered another blow, determining that transgender youth and adults aren’t entitled to their medication, arguing such treatment is not “deeply rooted in this nation’s history and traditions,” a rationale echoing the Dobbs anti-abortion decision.
Concurrently, new laws are coming into effect, mandating the forced detransition of any incarcerated transgender individual. The once muted alarm signaling potential dangers for the transgender community has escalated into a raging firestorm. Reactionary figures from the right are fueling this blaze, advocating for eradication.
GOP has 0% chance if their running platform is genuinely about taking away rights from women
That’s been their platform all along.
And yet they have control of the House, and keep squeaking closer to taking back the Senate… there’s a not impossible chance they take back the presidency, provided their candidate can stay out of jail (and at this point, I wouldn’t discount that not disqualifying them).
I am well aware, I hope that the nation sees this very obvious attempt to protect the 1% and acts accordingly.
