One of the worst aspects of this is that the same groups making these legal threats then go around saying that this type of exclusion and discrimination makes transitioning so negatively affect one's life that no one should do it as if it's a choice.
Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling.

This was an actual nazi policy after the housing crisis Germany experienced during hyperinflation in the 1920-30s.
They targeted Jewish people claiming they controlled real estate and spread lies that Roma and Sinti people were "invading" and people with disabilities were a burden on the taxpayer

friendly reminder that "remigration" has a meaning
it's a call for the revocation of citizenship and deportation of everyone outside of the white supremacist ingroup
currently, they don't have the power or the political capital to do this..
but they're normalising the idea within the mainstream

With ALT. This is legitimately terrifying. This is a MASSIVE escalation of violent anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies.
It’s almost as if they knew unleashing the military into American cities would lead to violence and they were already planning to use that violence to justify this.

The only thing I can say about Margorie Taylor Greene is that, for those with higher political ambitions, there's value in being the first rat to publicly jump from a sinking ship.
She will seem prescient, and that will play well with the Republican base. She's choosing her schism points carefully.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

In general “bimodal but not binary” is something that seems to break brains a lot. Like a specific type of personality really dislikes the idea that something is neither a neat continuous distribution nor a on/off. It’s a type of complexity that just drives some people nuts, not just on gender stuff
Biological sex is a spectrum too, not just gender. That’s not postmodern nonsense, it’s reality as revealed by science. Sex is a cluster of phenotypical characteristics that tend to, but do not always, correlate. The spectrum follows a bimodal distribution, but that’s not the same thing as a binary!
Abolish Gender is so 2012, get in losers, in 2025 we are abolishing sex
