It makes sense if you don't think about it. Which apparently the DOJ never did.
It's all about creating enemies the ignorant bigots can stand together against.
USA is a disgusting society.
It’s shaping up to declare us all mentally incompetent so that they can institutionalize us. They won’t stop here.
It's a stepping stone. First they'll target trans people, than anyone LGBTQIA+, then minorities, then anyone with liberal views, then anyone who looks weird to them. That was the purpose of that EO dipshit signed a few weeks back directing is admin to explore how to institutionalize anyone deemed mentally incompetent. All they have to do is declare "x group" is mentally ill and then they'll round em all up. It's fucked.
Some asshole already tried declaring trump derangement syndrome a mental disorder so they could say anyone who dislikes the orange turd has a problem.
Well color me troubled
Especially funny because he proposed that bill mere hours before being charged for soliciting a minor. Once again, all the claims they make about trans people are just projections and admissions of guilt.
What a nightmare, and AFAIK no country will accept trans people from USA as refugees (yet).
I hope you have options.
I think Canada does from what they reported of asylum sellers from the US and mostly were trans.
I hope if shit pops off they can send us care packages from the north.
Last I checked (last week? Does time mean anything anymore?) canada doesn't want poor trans refugees more than any other country. A few people have gotten in, but the vast majority of applicants are being denied asylum.
we're a good deal, if anyone wants to take us. a lot of us are reeeaaallyy good at science, math and programming. like the Jews fleeing Nazi Germany were pretty great for the countries who took them in as refugees.
There's only so many network engineers one country can actually make use of.
we're not all network engineers! there's also uh... rust and haskell programmers, reverse engineers, hardware engineers, category theorists and topologists, uh.. biochemists and physicists probably?
also there's not like, loads of trans people. that's why we're so easy to attack.
There's so many trans people in my life I sometimes forget ya'll are basically the shiny pokemon of queers...
I'm holographic 🤗
Source for that claim? I'm pretty sure Canada is unfortunately still very backwards on granting asylum to people who need it (like most countries in the world are), but I'd love to be wrong about that.
I think you might be right. Couldn't find the article I read on Lemmy or online.
Only people who have been vaccinated. They aren't monsters. /s
There was a convicted criminal now representative in my state that has a YouTube video out of her firing an assault weapon. She was the lead sponsor of the bill that banned assault weapons in our state. On top of that because of her past convictions it is illegal for her to be in possession of a firearm.
It only makes sense if you don't look at the shit show behind the curtains.
