no post has ever altered my brain chemistry as much as "can only you see the time being?"

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

it makes you think how many health conditions which allegedly "only emerge during adulthood" are actually conditions which parents deny medical attention to their kids for

The American Transgender Refugee Crisis

If this were occurring abroad, to an ethnic minority, we would call it ethnic cleansing.

To put this in perspective, the last time an American subgroup migrated at these rates was the Great Migration, in which roughly 6 million Southern Black people fled Jim Crow violence and repression. This occurred over a period of decades, in the face of political repression, systematic violence, and legal apartheid.

In its fastest decade, the 1940s, 1.5 million left the South—against a Southern Black population of roughly 10 million. Black America fled Jim Crow at about 1.5% a year, at a time when baseline inter-state mobility was higher than it was today.

Trans America is fleeing red-state persecution at ten to twenty times that. In short, trans people are being internally displaced within America's shores.

"So what is to be done? What must liberals and leftists and everyone in between do in the face of this slow-rolling atrocity, this modern Jim Crow?

This is a non-exhaustive list, but, firstly: the line must be held on all further erosions of trans rights. No concessions on sports. No concessions on bathrooms. No concessions on gender-affirming care for minors. Such erosions are not only unjust, but they destroy political capital by causing trans people to be seen in various settings as less than equal—as ones who need not be given that which is due to equals.

Secondly, local, state, and municipal funding in sanctuary cities and states must be allocated in order to expand local and community resources to handle the ongoing influx. This includes housing assistance, relocation support, general healthcare support, and especially support for gender-affirming care, which in many cases has been interrupted or not even begun for trans refugees. The upside for these localities is that integrating this influx into local communities can invigorate the tax base and revitalize the community. Thus the human rights commitment becomes an investment in the community's future.

Thirdly, these municipalities must make structural changes to lower the cost of living and increase access to resources, regardless of what is done at the federal level. Even if a Democrat returns to the Oval Office in 2029, this will likely not change the legal or social situation in red states. The mass migration of trans people will likely continue regardless of who is in the White House. Thus, housing costs must be reduced by policy actions, and more housing supply must be made available, both by public and market means. One of the great failings of many ostensible sanctuary states is that for the most part, despite excellent legal protections, they are simply too expensive for impoverished trans people to move to."

4. trans protection laws need to be robust.

I live in a state with strong protection laws to stop me from being fired for being trans. But the company I work for is HQ'd in Texas. Despite operating and having many employees in my state, they could easily deny me healthcare because Texas says so, and while that would be illegal I'd have no recourse to actually get healthcare. Worse, they could force me to travel or even relocate to Texas on threat of being fired, and fire me for cause if I refused.

turns out the creator yugioh the abridged series, littlekuriboh, goes by she/her now. trans women make literally everything on the internet

[puppygirllaika]

talking about stuff like prison reform or the SO registry really quickly makes you realize how many peoples political ideology boils down to "look, just tell me who the bad people are so I know who we should be killing."

Climate change, exacerbated by capitalist exploitation, is going to force more people to leave their homelands. Get more pro-immigrant and reject nationalism now!! We only have each other.

After the hell of the past two days, this reminded me of what America could and should be about. It’s a little pocket of hope when our administration is trying to extinguish diversity and community and basic human decency and replace them with fear and hate and division.
