Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order rolling back transgender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, reversing key measures introduced by Joe Biden.
The new order declares the federal government will recognize only two genders and bans agencies from promoting gender transitions.
Federal documents, prisons, and agencies must comply.
Trump also targeted environmental justice grants and diversity training programs.
Civil rights groups condemned the move, pledging legal challenges.
Don’t worry. According to Russians ideological purists, this outcome is better for my trans son than if Kamala Harris had won.
Now if you’ll pardon me, I have to get back to working on moving my family out of this shit-hole country.

Said nobody ever.
You must have slept through the year prior to the election or been offline. This place was swamped with people who, in the name of saying Palestine was THE issue shouted continuously about ‘bLuE mAgA’ and how people need to stay away from the democratic party, which when people do that you get this as the alternative.
People were saying they weren’t willing to vote for the Democrats because they supported genocide. Say what you want about that, but it has nothing to do with trans people; literally everyone was perfectly aware they’d be worse off with a Trump victory.
Personally, if it’s my rights vs being a part of a genocide I’m ready to get my passport revoked.
It’s not like I had money to flee the country, and my retirement plan was already to die in the water wars.
I’m sure your ideological purity is a great comfort to my son who has just been legally declared a woman.
Why is your son’s gender identity more important than the thousands of children being slaughtered in gaza
I got my name/gender markers updated a few years ago.
The Democrats lost the election due to a combination of their support of Israel (and corresponding economic impacts) and their terrible campaign/no primary. If you’re looking for people to blame they’re not on your left.
So you chose being part of the same genocide and additionally the future genocide of LGBT people in America. Are you fucking joking?
Now you’re complicit with the upcoming genocide of trans people but go ahead and enjoy that warm fuzzy feeling you have from saving Palestine from Kamala Harris.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
This time around it’s started with Palestinians, democrats acting helpless to stop the genocide (while actually arming it). It does not fill me with confidence that if LGBT people became a political liability that democrats wouldn’t unite with the republicans on our extermination too.
Can you share a news article reporting that the genocide has ended? I must have missed that.
the ceasefire is holding as far as I’ve heard https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/live-blog/israel-hamas-live-updates-rcna188301
it’s at least one day without Gaza getting bombed so far I think.
obviously this doesn’t end here and the settlers are now ratcheting up things in West Bank instead.
Sorry, I made the only decision I could. Every fucking day I listened to the stories and testimony coming out of Gaza. It was either vote against the genocide or do something much more drastic. I wouldn’t have survived voting for genocide. I hung on because I chose to believe the Axis of Resistance could hang on and keep fighting until a ceasefire. And they did!
Instead of punching left at people who wouldn’t vote for genocide, punch right at the transphobes that want to kill us. If you want to be mad at me, be mad at me. I can handle it. But you’re gonna have to work with me if we’re gonna get through this together.
At least you didn’t just stay home, you strategically held back your vote - instead focusing on how you would capitalize on their loss to seize control of the party in the resulting elections for control to effect the change which is so important to you.
I guess you just… Gave up and surrendered… Just no strategy at all to accomplish any of your political goals…? Ceding all control to the anti-muslim party… Interesting.
