Like... 1% of the US population is trans? Even if they disappear, what exactly would change? Gas prices?

I raised this recently with my conservative, religious mother. Her reply with a stammering of, "well, they're going against god's plan, and trying to change the way that god made them!", entirely ignoring my point about how there are countless and far more important things going on that affect way more people. It's madness

The best estimates I've seen put it at 1% of the US population over 13 (0.8% of US pop over 18) being genderqueer - and of that one percent, it seems to be evenly distributed between transmasc, transfemme and the terrifying enby blob we use as a catchall for "other".

Hux 9 points 4 days ago

Thanks for sharing.

It is such a bizarre time from a reporting standpoint.

At best, the orange buffoon communicates via word salad even when he isn’t dropping slurs and infantile insults. The print and online media get placed in this position to report on his comments, but if they just print the text of his comments, it is so unjustifiably disjointed and confusing that the reporters themselves would seem irresponsible to not “clean it up” or paraphrase it, but the number of [bracket quotes] and interjections of (sic) would be so aggressive that any reader would be lead to believe the reporter could be taking liberties with the meaning of the original quote. So, reporters tend to summarize his statements and use only very brief quotes, but I think this gives Trump more intellectual credit than he deserves—the message actually reads as cogent, with direct quotes of the most inflammatory bits seeming intact. The reporter takes on the role of Trump’s publicist, in a manner, by writing a professionally polished article on the words of demented degenerate.

And all of that is before the sensibilities of online and print news sources force editorialized reporting of his slurs. It is completely insane that we feel-the-need-to and actually-do sanitize the hate speech which comes from the US President. I genuinely question if it is better to censor the slurs in the interest of decency, or if it is better to print the slurs as directly attributed quotes, also in the interests of decency—but more in the context of highlighting what we, as a people, are permitting from our President.

I don’t know, it feels wrong to me to censor his slurs in the same way it seems wrong to censor the ugly parts of our history we are not proud of, but need to be honest about learning from.

This timeline straight up sucks to suck.

Consider saying 2 meters instead of 6 feet. This is Canada we use metric like a civilised country.

But 6 feet isn't 2 meters. 6 feet is 182.8cm.

And it's always some really dumb shit:

Trump accused Andrews, a pediatrician and mother of three, of supporting “Transgender for Everyone,” along with “Open Borders,” “Defunding the Police,” “High Taxes,” and a “Weak Military,” and claimed that she would seek to take away South Carolinians’ guns.

Oh no, transgender rights for everyone and less spending on the military! Whatever shall we do!

This is what surprised me about his popularity with the working class back when he was first running. I've been watching Trump since the '80s and he's never even once given up a chance to shit on the working class. He's infamous for not paying for work done. That's a whole bunch of working class people who got shafted by him all across the USA.

The same working class who then thought he was their saviour in Washington.

There's a reason why I just don't give a shit about Americans anymore.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
