it is wild how many non-trans people seem to be taking an issue with this extremely correct thread: transphobia was an extreme minority position that was isolated to fringe reactionary christian conservatives, but through "liberal" publications laundering bigoted talking points it became accepted
There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

everyone signing on to be a part of the new HBO Max Harry Potter series is endorsing this and should be treated accordingly
You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Yeah these signs aren’t gonna last long lol.
My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—"
NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding”
Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure.
We are all in this together, and we all go down together.
I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

FWIW, the choice was scrubbing their website or potentially closing down because their funding was turned off. Sure they could have sued, but what then?

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself.
Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue.
So, who is doing identity politics?

The anti-trans obsessives cannot fathom that a trans woman be viewed as their equal, let alone that we'd elected to public office or work the same job as them.
And no amount of capitulation will sate their rage. That is why it's imperative that we resist their efforts at each and every turn.

And there you have it.
Nancy Mace comes out and says, "It's offensive that a man in a skirt thinks that he's my equal"
That is what is driving them so mad. That a transgender person, duly elected to represent 1,000,000 people, could ever be her equal.

There’s no job I’m afraid to lose if it requires me to degrade anyone.
If that’s a defining issue for a voter, there will be a different candidate.
We have a bathroom in my office that anybody is welcome to use, including Representative-elect Sarah McBride.

Both top stories on Reddit Politics are of Fetterman and AOC fighting for Sarah McBride over the capitol trans bathroom ban.
McBride at least appears to be eliciting sympathy, partly due to how viciously cruel Mace had come off as with her recent “|she| dare consider herself my equal” stuff.
