Re: Nice Planet: Screw It, I'm Outta Here
This, Fishy, this. As a trans woman, I've tried explaining all the ways Republicans want me dead (either literally or figuratively), and it's gone right over your head. You also said trans people don't deserve bathroom rights because cis men might abuse the privilege. You want me dead too.
Seriously, in 26 states, including Michigan, I can be fired for being trans, and I am **** lucky that my current employer has gender identity written in their non-discrimination policy. If I'm arrested, they'll put me in with the men, which will open me to sexual assault and near death. If I become homeless, this administration says shelters don't have to take me in. I better hope my current medical team stays as warm and affirming as they are, because if they decide religious liberty is more important than my care, I could die. When I die, I better hope my family puts the right name and gender in the paper, because some of my trans siblings haven't been so lucky. Transgender people are 4x as likely to commit suicide as everyone else. I could go on, but you're basically plugging your ears right now going "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
