Because every trans person I’ve ever met isn’t just trying to make it through the day like the rest of us and are causing all kinds of violence and social unrest.
These chucklefucks sure like their boogeymen to rile people up.
Maybe they should look into these gravy seals/meal team 6 folks with their tacticool gear larping as military badasses if they wanna find actual problem groups.
All trans people in some sort of coordinated trans army?? FFS. Please. I’m not saying the fascist united snakes won’t persecute trans people (they are and will) but this is some epic bullshit. Level ten on the Richter scale bullshit.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
This is so fucking unbelievably fucked.
We should be fucking rioting and burning shit down.
Trans people do not have the privilege to do those things right now. It will only further the hateful rhetoric. It is up to the supposed "allies" to step up.
Nazis went after trans people, burned trans related books.
Nazis are going after trans people, burning trans related books.
The destruction of the institute of sexual sciences is in fact one of the earliest crimes the Nazi party committed after taking power.
It's one of my favorite pieces of trivia to bust out when chuds try to pretend that being transgender is a "the last 20 years" modern creation. No, your fascist ilk just kept destroying the records of it existing prior, but we know better now.
Maybe we'll save the ENTIRE Bauhaus this time...
The Bureau defines “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” as “criminal conduct… in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos.”
What the actual fuck? This is pure bigoted Nazi shit.
ikr? Trans people want to be part of society, not destroy it.
To these people any society with trans people in it is a destroyed society since their society is trans exclusionary.
Trans are just the the first of an ever-expanding group of others to be targeted, including pretty much everybody in leadership in the party right now. I think it is pretty safe to assume that dear leader, whomever it is, we'll become as paranoid as Joseph Stalin and anybody in leadership now will be suspected and purged if they get what they think they want here.
So they defined themselves?
Trans rights are human rights. The fascists can get fukt
The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me.
So not from a report, but from "sources"...
I tell ya, I feel really bad for trans people. They are either being scared of actual nutjobs, or grifters are making shit up for worthless internet points, that just as scary. Everywhere you look, people are using trans people as some chip to play in the on going culture wars. Maybe its time to move on and leave Trans people out of it, and stop using them for point scoring and uparrow farming...
As long as being left out of it involves full human rights protections.
It would be cool if everyone stepped up while this was still in the petitioning phase.
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
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist.
Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.
Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.
Als sie die Juden einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude.
Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte
You wanna know what creates extremists? Bullshit like this. It's self-fulfilling prophecy.
First time I ever see violent and trans in the same sentene. Never heard of a single violent trans person. If this is true, this FBI is flushing its own credibility. My go-to person on the topic of LGBQT is RuPaul so I'll need his comments.
Lol so many words. Drugs we're involved in the naming.
SOURCE: I do some drugs.
NVE is what they have called "lone" mass shooters for decades. They are lumping trans folk in with some of the countries most hateful bigots
any trans people in the US that haven't already applied for asylum elsewhere should be doing so now. Hopefully it's not too late
That sounds prohibitively expensive.
Also, I don't know what country isn't having at least a little bit of a fascist problem right now.
Anyway, last time I looked, most countries were very picky about letting folks in. Not a lot of space for disabilities.
Most of us have ptsd at least, after surviving childhood or coming out, or both.
Unfortunately, they are being denied asylum on account of not being murdered in the streets en masse.
They aren't? Aren't trans women of color the #1 most murdered demographic?
Ohhh I see, you mean no more than usual
Not systematically yet. Thats the problem. And yet pink coding is a thing in US prisons
Jesus fucking Christ! If someone should be regarded at terrorists, it's the current administration. Stay safe, my friends.
The Heritage Foundation is once again pushing a hateful act designed to hurt a large number of innocent people. It's basically their MO.
What. The. Fuck.
They've been telegraphing this punch since Trump's first term. Disgusting, but hardly surprising.
Trans folks should consider getting the fuck out of this shithole country before it's too late
Trans, people with disabilities, minorities, and homeless people are the first ones that will be executed. Then they'll move on to other groups.
Most countries are refusing to accept us for asylum, because they don’t want to piss off the U.S. idk if there’s been a single person who’s managed an asylum claim.
If you do know of a civilized country/school that wants a physics/calculus teacher, and would be willing to pay for relocation and help with the visa, do tell.
The group defines “TIVE” as “the belief that violence is justified against people who oppose [the trans community],” as well as the belief that opposing trans rights “itself constitutes a form of violence towards people who identify as [trans or gender nonconforming]... or poses an imminent threat to such persons’ emotional, psychological, or physical safety, including through self-harm or suicide.”
What an insane redefinition of “self defense.” Violence isn’t justified…unless you are being targeted, harmed, or killed, which many trans or NB people are. It’s absurd to preemptively label self defense as “violence.” It’s cart-before-horse, intentional PR spin to dehumanize a subset of human people. One species, all human.
The administration will need scapegoats when its policies fail. They’ve laid this ground work for years now. They want justification for violence through violence themselves in this mental gymnastics.
It’s the Heritage Foundation, which might as well be called “Propaganda Hut.” Let me guess: more divisive, American-dividing ideas? Yes, Heritage, let’s keep pushing tribal behavior to encourage class war while the rich destroy the planet and their fellow humans.
Are Juggalos still considered a gang? These lists are just wish lists for targeting people they find taboo.
Being designated a gang is very different from being designated a terrorist or nve
