@alice WTF?

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@alice Folks criticising calling them nazis after this one missed their history lessons!

[gerdek@social.vivaldi.net]

@alice Republican I presume? Really, the most disgusting people in the world. Poor USA or for the republicans NSA (Nazi.....). Dear Lord, sent them with a one way ticket to hell.

@FediThing @alice every time they acuse some group of something it is a self report on their own intentions it seems.

@alice Dorothy, we're in Kansas and we need to get out now! Unclick those red shoes...
I worked on a contract in KC in the 80s. It was like stepping back into the 1950s or something, blatant racism everywhere. It was shocking. So no surprise that they are now trying to move to old testament times. Despicable. Boycott Trumpistan.

True. But your EU license has a name in it. Now, with German Mr Dobrindt and Mr Linnemann, both fascists in disguise, and their demands of "special registers" for trans people and deadname forwarding to police and other "security institutions" we trans people will face the same, as soon as the Nazi party AFD comes to power in 2029. Every nazi cop will see your name/gender-ID change, forever.
After "special registers" we'll see "special housing" aka camps. Again.

This is sick beyond words. Will they next require wearing yellow stars?

[peterbrown@mastodon.scot]

@weirdone @alice I can’t understand how this will work because in eg. a traffic stop the cop will see a completely different person to that in the ID. Surely the whole purpose of ID is to prove you are who you say you are and if your ID says you’re a man and you look like a woman (or vice versa), it no longer serves any practical purpose. If you are a trans man or a trans woman, then your ID should reflect that, otherwise it’s completely useless.

@alice it's all so absolutely putrid and vile. I very much feel grief for my trans family in KS. I'm also living in a red state that has taken up residency in the white house and it feels like there's a competition btwn the red states to see who can lick the boots of the regime the best. At some tipping point, the entire queer community will have to stand in solidarity and fight beyond the keyboard. We will continue to suffer, and we will have losses but our community must show up for all local elections and engage in active resistance. Yes, we are terrified...daily. And this oppressive violence is also part of our history...attacked and betrayed by our government and fellow citizens relentlessly. But duty is calling. And every MAGA red queer is an enemy of the United Queer States of America. They betrayed their own by voting and supporting what's happening. It's madness running amok. And we must actively fight for our rights to exist equally. We are the calvary (military not xian). Organize and fight back.

It'll be point-down pink triangles.

@alice

Oh, a trans tax.

Years ago I'd laugh at this as a somewhat conservative guy but I try to be better.

If I see a lifestyle choice I don't agree with, I always ask myself if I'm willing to disown my future kid for the same choice. If I'm not willing to disown and cut ties, then I think it's fair that the choice be left alone.

Imagine implementing a Christian tax, or straight tax, or <insert totally normal thing> tax.

You get the point.

These people are pure evil. There's no good excuse for this.
