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

Most of us are cool with ya'll, but yeah, too many who aren't, so please stay the fuck out until its safe.
Furthermore, can we come stay awhile, please? Ze Nazis are here now, oder. š„¹

Unfortunately itās not a struggle between left or right anymore but up and down instead. Especially in the US.
It's always been a game for the poors, this ol' crab-bucket squid game bullshit. Seems like the only way out is to scare the tippy-top to their core. (No spoilers!)

defending trans rights is the front line of the fight against fascism right now
Yeah, it's this kind of delusion why people aren't loyal to you.
Nobody wants your fucking loyalty. They want you to wake the fuck up and get it through your skull that we're all in this shithole together, and you need to start lending a hand instead of stomping on other's backs to get yours. Because one day, you might need the rest of us to come save you too.

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.

Are you incapable of breathing and chewing bubble gum at the same time? Why not both?

Not only do these people fail as allies and as compassionate human beings, but they're also very stupid if they don't see that defending trans rights is the front line of the fight against fascism right now. They're not going to stop at taking rights away from trans people. It'll be you next.
They can't see that attacks on trans rights are also attacks on cis rights. I think that's part of the reason why Rep. Zoey Zephyr and Rep. SJ Howell were so effective at stopping a couple pieces of anti-trans legislation in Montana yesterday. They talked about the fact that the legislation would potentially effect cis people as well as the fact that it'd take "parental rights" away from parents. They also did it in a way that created a narrative which both cis and trans people can identify with, creating a common ground to further convince people that the legislation was wrong. And it was successful. They got a number of Republican lawmakers to switch sides, despite the fact that the GOP prides itself on being in lockstep. They even had a Republican lawmaker make a stand too, saying that the people introducing this legislation were basically just wasting everyone's time.
People say, "trans rights are human rights" and they're serious. We embody the extreme of gender non-conformity that cis people occasionally dabble in, and when you start taking away our rights, you start taking away cis rights too.

They're crawling back out of their holes here again too
But generally I'd say most people don't care

Can you give some links what these "pieces of anti-trans legislation" were going to do? Not familiar with that yet.

Here's an article on the two bills that got voted out in Montana: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-speeches-from-trans-dems
Most of the anti-trans legislation is as bad or worse; Texas has a couple nutjobs trying to make being trans illegal as a whole.

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

No, because doing one means doing the other. Who do you think is waging the culture war in the first place?
Personally, as a trans person, I don't want your loyalty. I don't care about your loyalty. We don't know one another at all so I don't even know if you're someone I'd actually want to hang around; and I'm not gonna ask for loyalty from a total stranger.
What I want is for you to act like a decent human being and understand that the culture war is part of a much larger war about wealth inequality; and that you're going to struggle if you allow your allies to slowly get picked off by the ones waging the war in the first place. If that occurred then the best you could hope for would be a pyrrhic victory that leaves you asking, "we won, but at what cost?"

Trans rights is simply human rights for trans people. It's not a culture war issue; it's a human rights issue.

Also to add, there is an unfortunate number of Liberals who are quickly walking back any support for trans folk.
In what way are liberals walking back support for Trans? Iāve seen the comment from Gavin Newsom about athletics, but does that mean he has walked back all support? Or just in that one area?

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.

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 itās an all or nothing thing? Like, you canāt question one area without going full bigot?
