Wanna feel me grow?
Let's get to know each other
I'm seeing a worrying amount of idiots on tumblr dot com push that "Kamala hates trans women" and I am losing my mind at how they are pushing it, constantly, saying she is a proven transmisogynist, despite it being a complete lie and her actively working behind the scenes to help trans women in prison. Is there like, sources that could help debunk this shit because I'm at my wits end as these people scream and cry and vomit trying to get biden to drop out but then are like "eghhhh still don't wanna vote for a transphobic cop..." when she's NEITHER-
Isn't the internet wonderful? first rule NEVER examine your priors! ALWAYS! hang onto whatever the first hot take you had on a subject to THE DEATH!
"Kamala is Transphobic!" over here in reality
past that trans and LGBT rights groups have been quick to endorse her like
Advocates for Trans Equality
Human Rights Campaign
just today 1,100 LGBT celebrities, lawmakers and leaders endorsed her
Very.
“The intersection on the issue of reproductive care and trans care, and the ability of families to be able to have care for their children and their families, is really, again, an intersection around attacks that are on an identity,” -Vice-President Harris, 2023
any ways the root of the idea she's transphobic comes from one case in 2015. Two inmates in the California State Prison system sued to get GRS, which as inmates would have been covered by the Prison system. It's worth noting here, both women got what they wanted, one was paroled and got the surgery covered by California Medicare while the other serving a life sentence was ultimately covered by the prison system.
Two things are important to bear in mind here, 1. Part of the job of California Attorneys General is to defend the state when it is sued, thats the job, 2. It seems early on in the case Harris was not personally aware of it, about 1,000 lawyers work in the Cali AG's office and so the AG cannot be personally aware of every case, and check this quote from the Lambda Legal lawyer handling the case:
“The California AG’s office shifted its handling of these cases significantly after now-Sen. Harris took over,” Renn said. “Initially there was language in briefing for the state that glaringly misunderstood the medical necessity of transition-related medical care and was patently offensive. But then, there was a dramatic change, which seems to have gone along with important policy shifts.”

in 2019 Harris talked about the case and working after it was settled to change the policy of the California State Prison system
"When that case came up, I had clients, and one of them was the California Department of Corrections. It was their policy. When I learned about what they were doing, behind the scenes, I got them to change the policy," Harris said.
"I commit to you that always in these systems there are going to be these things that these agencies do. And I will commit myself, as I always have, to dealing with it," Harris said.
Any ways Harris can consistently spoken out for and supported Trans people, banned the hateful Trans panic defense when she was AG, in the Senate supported the Equality Act, during her 2020 campaign for President she drew attention to the hate crimes against black trans women while holding herself accountable for the 2015 case. As Vice-President she drew fire voicing support for Dylan Mulvaney during the hellish Bud Light backlash. Her Husband Doug was tapped to host the first ever White House Trans Day of Remembrance
basically you're looking at a great ally who clearly supports trans rights, who was involved in a case, which involved two people who got the surgeries they were looking for paid for by the State of California, close to 10 years ago now, there's evidence that both she moved the case in a better direction when she took over it and also that she changed the polices of the state to before more gender affirming.
I rarely post on here, Jùst get straight to the point and tell me what you want.
“I feel like the rights of queer people have been chipped away for the last few years, and this is a blatant move to take rights away from people,” she said. “The ruling means trans women won’t be able to use the women’s bathroom, and the idea of trans women attacking women in bathrooms. The only time I have ever been made to feel scared has been by cis men. I have never been scared by a trans woman in my life.”

Hello there!
Today Nina (@humbleone666) has contacted me because she really needs help with her campaign.
She has been with her current fundraiser for almost a month, but got only 323 pounds out of her 10,000 pound goal!
This won't do, Nina urgently needs donations! She is a Ugandan trans woman, and had to not only flee her home country due to its homophobic and transphobic laws, but also has to live in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya, where many of the basic needs of life are nowhere to be seen or extremely hard to get!
This is her campaign link. Please donate, even if only a little, and please share to someone who can if you can't, because every donation counts!
Hot(?) take: cis men DNI blogs make me pretty upset, I’m going to be honest. If your blog requires me to out myself as a trans man to interact with you it is not a safe place for me or any other trans folk.
Also, can we please stop hating on an entire sex as if being a cis man makes you inherently evil? Being afraid of men due to trauma is very different from hating someone for being born a way you don’t like or because a good number of the group suck. It’s the same shit misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, etc men and women are peddling. Let’s not stoop to their level and practice tolerance and empathy, friends.
I need people to fucking remember that the point of marriage equality is not "the government telling me can I throw a big ass party and promise my ever loving devotion to my partner infront of 30-100 of my closest friends and family"
it's "if my partner of 20 years gets hit by a car on the way to work am I going to be aloud to make medical decisions for her care and not her homophobic family who Hasent spoken to her in 20 years"
it's if "my wife dies from said accident am I able to plan her funeral and bury her in the dress she loved or am I going to have to sit in our empty home of 15 years (that I was lucky enough to be on the deed to otherwise they could have taken that too, and kicked me out onto the streets) and drink my grief away while her parents bury her in a suit she would have hated under a name she hated more"
The point of getting married has never been the fucking party.
