Germany issues warning for transgender & nonbinary people traveling to the U.S.

In what way are liberals walking back support for Trans? I’ve seen the comment from Gavin Newsom about athletics, but does that mean he has walked back all support? Or just in that one area?
Walking back support in one area is walking back support.
It ain't that complex. As soon as concessions are made, the far right demands more because there must always be an enemy to crush completely for the in-group. Who will then pick a new enemy when it comes politically convenient.

So in your opinion it’s an all or nothing thing? Like, you can’t question one area without going full bigot?

Boy, I would read that as a warning for other people as well. Who the hell wants to travel to a place where people are at risk just for being people?
Tourism dies with autocracies. Let America become the dull homogeneous wasteland it wants without throwing them any tourism dollars. -
There you go doing it again. You're conflating your agenda with another one to make it seem like people should, say, call you a woman if they want to reduce the disparity in wealth.
That's a load of malarkey and proves my point even further. It's sad how the ruling class is robbing us blind because people like you are trying to piggyback your agenda on problems that face the working class.
Also, you personally may not want loyalty but hopefully you can recognize that you are the outlier in that regard.
Damn, you must be a pretty shallow-minded person to miss the fact that the culture war is perpetuated by the rich to keep us from working together. Racism, religious institutions, sexism, queerphobia, these are tools that the rich and powerful use to keep us divided. When you allow them to wage a culture war unopposed, you are letting them use their ideological "weapons of war" without retaliation.
And no, this isn't just about wanting to be called a woman. This is about being made illegal for who I am. I can't fight against the wealth gap if I'm in prison for having tits and a dick, now can I? I can't fight against the wealth gap if I'm struggling from derealization, depersonalization, dissociation, and suicidal depression brought about by crippling dysphoria as a result of being unable to access estrogen, now can I?

I am not sure what you don't understand about the statement that walking back support is, in fact, walking back support.

Hi I'm trans and living in the US right now, in Seattle one of the best places to be trans in the US. Don't come here if you're trans. Don't travel to anywhere in the US, not Seattle, not anywhere. If for no other reason than to stop giving tourism money to us but if you're trans then yeah it's getting spicy.
All my trans friends who have had to travel are reporting increased pat downs, getting questioned by TSA, and bags being opened regardless of their documents. If you get clocked you may be delayed or searched.
For any trans people looking to get out of the country be careful. So fary best idea is to get to a state with enhanced IDs, use that to hop the border to Canada by land without having to physically hand your passport to a US agent, then fly out from there.
Stay safe everyone

Or stay in Canada if you can swing it, and if we don't elect our own Trump-wannabe in our upcoming election

No.
If you fall back in front of the far right they will take that ground and demand more, as they always have done, and as they always will do. It's how they win, it's how they are winning, on trans rights, on immigration, on racial supremacy. Do not give them an inch. It's not "all or nothing" it's "give the bigots nothing". -

I really really hope the Cons keep shooting themselves in the foot, for the sake of everyone

Sorry, the censorship says otherwise. You may be speaking for yourself, but the movement at large wants to control how people see others.

Sure, but your comment is implying it’s an all or nothing situation. Walking back is walking back and nothing else matters.
There’s are multitudes of trans issues, and questioning one does not mean you are questioning all of them.
If somebody thinks people born male shouldn’t be competing in non rec league sports against people born female, that doesn’t mean they should be treated the same as people that want to ban drag shows and ban accepting lgbt children and all the other blatant bigotry coming from the MAGA cult.
If you can’t accept the nuance in the conversations then there will be no conversation.

It's how they win, it's how they are winning, on trans rights, on immigration, on racial supremacy. Do not give them an inch. It's not "all or nothing" it's "give the bigots nothing".Ok, but what if you are not giving into demands, but stating your feelings that just happen to align, in that one area, with the right?
My point is that Trans issues have many different areas. Saying they’re wrong in one area does not mean you are abandoning trans people entirely and just as bad as the bigots that want harm done to them.
Just want to say, I don’t know all of what Newson has said, just read some articles that had 2 or 3 quotes. It’s hard to know what his overall opinions are, though.

Also to add, there is an unfortunate number of Liberals who are quickly walking back any support for trans folk.

Start accepting American LGBT refugees then.

That's not true. You people expect me to agree with you on everything or else I'm a nazi.
If I dared to suggest we prioritize reducing the disparity in wealth over fighting a culture war, you people immediately assume I'm an enemy.
You don't just want loyalty, you crave it. You're dependent on it. You get mad whenever you don't get it and throw tantrums until you do or get rid of the person.

Because they like to use "we have bigger problems to worry about" as a way of shutting down people calling attention to problems.
Why should I feed this homeless person in front of me when there are millions of children dying in starvation in Africa. In fact by giving food to this homeless person who is probably homeless because of his fault, I am in fact wasting food that could otherwise be across the world at this same instant so I actually won’t do anything other than finishing my burger because I’m snackish. /s
Fuck that was hard to type but it’s not too far from how some people actually think

Unfortunately it‘s not a struggle between left or right anymore but up and down instead. Especially in the US.
So it’s still left vs right
The problem is that in the US you don’t have a left party. Just a right one and a fascist one
