So many libs keep telling me if I don’t vote for Biden that Trump will pass all these anti-trans laws that Biden and the Democrats would of course have stopped. I tell them my trans comrades on Hexbear all say I shouldn’t vote for Biden but these libs just keep asking for the proper documentation.

i'll believe they'll protect trans rights (to anything other than joining the military) when they restore abortion rights, purge student loan debt, do anything about pigs, anything about healthcare, and deschedule weed

We deeply care about all of those things which is why we're telling you to vote for someone who has been opposed to all of them for his entire career. And if you don't vote for him, we're going to blame you for his loss and laugh as those rights are stripped from anyone in any state that didn't see the brilliance of our strategy.

Famously, Biden and his gang has been great at stopping people from losing their rights

If someone is willing to sacrifice Palestinians to win an election, they will just as soon sacrifice trans people or anyone else the moment it becomes convenient. If today it's "But Trump would genocide even more Palestinians, so you have to vote for the guy genociding them," then tomorrow they could just as easily say the same about trans people, or any other group.

Solidarity across race, gender, nationality, etc is the only real long term strategy for survival for trans people. I'd rather die maintaining that solidarity than survive slightly longer selling comrades down the river and knowing I'm next.

You can see this right now in both words and actions from Biden and the Dems w/r/t migrants and the border. They were still just as evil, but a decade ago democrats would not have talked about migrants the way Biden is now.

White Americans are getting even more racist and anti-migrant than they were before. And instead of taking a bold stand for what’s right, Democrats are trying to equal and even exceed the racism of the Republicans because they think to do otherwise will cost them votes. Should LGBTQ rights become less popular among certain demographics, why should we believe the Democrats will act any different than they are now with the border?

and they literally bragged about deporting more people than trump.

doomjak border fascism is bipartisan, how long before somebody does crimes or one of those trans women in sports panics gets traction and "polite" gender fascism becomes bipartisan like in ukkk ?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

The border stuff is bipartisan because our precious white suburban votes must be coddled and catered to, everyone else can fuck off.

Didn't Genocide Joe both sides trans kids playing sports early in his term? If I'm remembering right then we're already there

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

That's pretty much every lib, even ones who call themselves allies.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

that sounds familiar yeah

Finally, someone explains my feelings well. I'm trans too, I approve

[–] [email protected] 35 points 8 months ago

you absolutely don't have to vote for biden

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago

I’m not voting for his ass and I’m in a swing state. You don’t have to do shit.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago

Sure, gnc poc from a Muslim immigrant family here to say: I and every genderqueer poc I know are far more disturbed by the Democratic Party's murderous and genocidal foreign policy than we are at whatever anti-trans laws Trump may pass. Loss of rights <<<<< being bombed and starved. We stand in solidarity with the victims of the American Empire in Palestine. Fuck Joe Biden, and fuck the liberal fascists who tokenize us to excuse their genocide.

I only see white people freaking about Trump because they center their comfort and privilege over the brown lives that Genocide Joe is snuffing out. I don't know a single person of color willing to vote for racism and genocide.

Not only do I say it's OK not to vote for Biden, I say it is immoral to vote for him. You can tell those liberal gaslighters I told you that if you vote for Biden you're basically a Nazi KKKlansman who hates nonwhite people

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

if you vote for brump your enabling genocide

As the CEO of trans people, I will come out and endorse the message that trans people do not have to vote for Biden, and I will be officially issuing you an individualized stamp that you can show to trans libs who are unaware of this groundbreaking moment in my career as the CEO of trans people.

Thank you.

Do I have to DM you my home address for this, or is my social security number enough?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You have to supply your address, but thankfully, I have no need for the social. I just need your credit card information because you'd be foolish to think I'd supply you this free of charge! 😀👍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

Thank you so much. Does this stamp certify me as LGBTQIA (the A stands for Ally of course)?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and the BT stands for Biden and Trump, obviously, but don't tell people that. They'd think it's sus.

Stamped, signed, delivered

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Not @HexBear, but you have my approval to not vote for people who have decades and decades of history of supporting policies that actively harm marginalized people and continue to actively support things like genocide and putting ~~children~~ "illegals" in cages.
