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.

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.

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.

So you chose being part of the same genocide and additionally the future genocide of LGBT people in America. Are you fucking joking?

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.

Solidarity with the Palestinians or any marginalized group doesn’t mean I have to allow bad things happen to everyone else.

We don’t vote Democrat because they inspire us or we love them, we vote democrat as a form of overall harm reduction.

In virtue signaling your opposition to Israel’s genocide, you’ve enabled American genocide of trans people, that’s how you know you fucked up.

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.
