I really really really want people to understand this:
The groups behind this (Collective Shout, NCOSE) are aiming for the complete eradication of ALL adult content. Period.
They have found a cheat-code to do this by saying they are "against child exploitation". EVERY company will fold to this.

“What starts with a ban on the most objectionable games on Steam could easily become a platform-wide ban on all adult content, or anything else sufficiently loud conservative groups deem inappropriate”
"Payment processor-based censorship has been a successful tactic against the adult industry for years, receiving little pushback in the process.” [...] "This is a major free speech issue that will come for LGBTQ content"

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic.
"Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.
Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.
The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

I am begging you now more than ever that while you’re advocating for trans rights (as you should) please don’t forget about intersex people. We’re impacted the exact same by the same legislation, we are losing our rights and healthcare, the only difference is no one will even acknowledge we exist
‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".
The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.
