This sounds like the perfect time to throw trans people under a bus so Gavin Newsom can be elected. Solidarity only goes one way, right?

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Or, and I can't stress this enough, you can go fuck yourself.
This shit is exactly what we've been warning for the last decade and every rightweiner and """"""centrist""""" toned it down for years, saying stupid stuff like "nah they cant do that" YES THEY CAN IF THEY ALLOW THE AUTHORITARIANIST FASCIST GOVERNMENT TO GET AWAY WITH IT YOU DIPSHIT
One time in ages someone who is allegedly trans do a massive shooting along with the 99.9% of white cisgender males who did it before. But the trans community is the one to blame now? Are you fucking serious? It doesn't mean anything for you the SEVERAL TIMES it was done by a cisgender male? Who are you trying to fool? Its the most pathetic scapegoating I've seen in my entire life and the worst part is that the stupids will fall for it
I remember when calling out a bigoted automatically made you a "sjw" and now I get why people were so defensive. With everyone against our pure existence is kinda hard to don't be defensive and paranoid, specially if reincarnated Shittler and followers are round.
The people who were mocking us when people was warning about bigoted politicians honestly doesn't deserve nothing, not our attention, neither the oxygen they breath. But is thanks to they're constant minimizing of fascism that we're on this point. So I hope for a very pleasant revenge once we're able to.
But for MAGAs and adjacents I just hope for a very painful death. These dipshits can burn in hell.
Thank god I don't live on the US, but I still fear the moment when my country is gonna go backwards too.
Maybe there's a reason they get called fasicts.
I do want to point out that this isn't a policy maker, just a vocal idiot.
However, it is well understood that the fascists have no desire to include LGBTQ in their "in-group," Given that the regime has already removed protections for Trans individuals, it's a matter of time before RFK Jr refills the CDC and declares it a disease requiring extensive study.
This means there is time to prepare. Immigrating is stupid hard. Moving is stupid hard. Find someone you trust that can hide you at a moments notice. Keep a pair of sunglasses on you that will cover your eyes well. Hair dye in black if you have light hair, bleach if it's in a dark color. A change of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a backpack you've never worn or used. Edit: these don't have to be new as in unused. In fact if it's used, it will probably stand out less.
Above all, remember this isn't permanent. Fascism will break itself eventually, even if the rest of us are unable to.
They try out such takes through the vocal idiots, but after it gets zero backlash (real backlash, like violent protests), it becomes the actual agenda of policy makers. That's how authoritarianism and fascism is being built.
So, trans and LGBTQ+ folks, please be very careful and consider leaving US if you can. And if you stay, organize with like-minded people and don't be alone
A change of clothes, a pair of shoes,
SHOES!!! ffs MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE !!!SHOES!!! along with the rest. Shoes are usually the one thing that people forget to change and will get you recognized, police know this, you should too
Actually, that brings up other things.
I would also suggest shoes that have been worn, not by you, and sized bigger or half size smaller than your current shoe.
If you wear jewelry? Now you don't.
If you don't wear jewelry? Get some magnetic nose/earrings/lip things.
If you have tattoos, for the love of everything, cover them. Tattoos are probably easier to identify someone than their own face.
I would also suggest shoes that have been worn, not by you, and sized bigger or half size smaller than your current shoe.
Damn good plan, the rest too. I just know the cops here always want the colour/style/brand of shoe a perp wore, or as much as can be remembered.
It's an easy way to track people. Shoes leave a pattern. You can get the shoe size from the pattern in mud or snow etc. like fingerprints.
I managed to get out of country recently, like a few weeks ago. I'm going to try and make it easier for others to immigrate, be a place for people to stay, if I do well enough maybe provide financial stability while they get on their feet. I did what I could in the US but for the foreseeable future my path is to be a landing pad for others looking to escape
Vocal idiots rants are currently being turned into actions by the current dipshit in chief.
Laura Loomer is practically dictating domestic and staffing policy by complaining online, for example.
Meanwhile my country (Netherlands) is rejecting trans people from the US political asylum because 'their most recent investigation into the political climate showed no signs of a hostile environment for trans people'. Which was NOVEMBER 2024 YEAH NO SHIT omfg start taking this seriously you fucking idiots
Most european governments hate trans people, too, they just aren't quite as ready to admit to what they want to do with them.
Please have an escape plan for when they start actually doing this. Even if it's living in the forest until everything blows over.
When they start doing this its too late... If you have any digital traces of you being trans, public or accessible by police, they would obviously not let you leave once this starts being enacted. Combine that with the complete coverage of all urban areas in the US with facial recognition cameras under the guise of "traffic cams" and you have zero chance to evade them if they actually want to get you. You either leave now or never.
Republican commentator
He’s a fascist. Call a spade a spade.
Also, has there even been another trans mass shooter?
Yes, 2023 in Nashville at a Christian school. This was a FTM who had previously attended that school. It was big news at the time. There are so many though, it's easy to forget.
Ah you know what, I think I remember seeing the body cam footage of that. 2 out of who knows how many mass shootings, what a joke.
There is literally one every day but they decide to focus on those. Go figure.
Can’t have fascism without your out group scapegoat. So pathetically predictable
The main reason the Republicans haven't done this yet is logistics. Where they'd even house us, even temporarily, when they're doing this to so many other groups at the same time? Unfortunately, this is a problem they will be able to solve in time. On top of that, they can more easily focus on terrorising us in the short term without needing to purge us like they one day hope to.
After all the new ICE concentration camps are built, then I’m sure they’ll just use those after they declare all trans people illegal alien terrorists.
Damn, I didn't know I was so badass!
I mean go guns blazing if it comes to that. Be the warrior the right wing military chuds think they are.
People think this is going too far but I truly believe every MAGA belongs in a mass grave
I don't believe MAGAists deserve a grave. Cremate them, then their ashes are actually useful for once. If they're buried they take up space that could be used for housing, public utilities, and so on.
mass graves are space and energy efficient, you just pack them tightly like sardines, can fit a lot in a small space
Yea but that's extra effort burying and still using space. Burning them fully is easier.
fucking.. wow
... I need to warn some people. They need to board some flights out of this circus now.
Josef Mengele type of stuff
they can't get any lower than this
wtf
They can certainly go lower by actually implementing this.
Yes, they can.
This is just the beginning
We are still in the first act, but well past the title card.
I wouldn't say we're well past the title card, considering we haven't even hit 1933 levels yet, but we are past the cold open for sure.
Why they keep killing children?!? What should we do with white men then?
I mean, the only way to deal with people like this is a good old fashioned beat down. I know violence only begets violence, but these are literal demons and you have to kill demons.
Studeez nuts you fascist pig
