I’d really like to see them pass some restrictions on religious proselytizing. I know they won’t 'cause 1st Amendment, but that’s what’s driving the anti-trans and anti-LGBT policies.
“Must-pass defense bill”
And puts stuff into it that (hopefully) will make it impossible to pass.
Edit: Sorry for any spelling mistakes or grammar errors, I wrote this while tired, which causes me blurry vision.
It’s Transphobia, that’s what it is, all of it. There’s no logical reason to FIRST target this as a budget cut, like wtf.
Within the past week or two, I’ve basically have been accepting the fact that I’m transgender, after literal years of questioning. It’s shit like this that makes me want to closet myself back in. Why is it not normal for people to just simply have respect (human decency!) For people’s varying sexualities and gender identities. It’s not hurting anyone.
It may be easily seen as entirely sexual, but it’s really not, because that’s really correlated to love, features of your body, etc. But there so much more to it than that. All of this is normal for human beings to do, it’s only been thought of being normalized in recent years, and people are just now finding comfort in being open about it.
I just want everyone to be able to (within reason) be comfortable, confident, and be open about who they love, what they feel about themselves, how they want to express themselves. And I don’t mean making entire personalities about it (I think some of us have to be more involved about it, because we have to fight to exist), but not making or going out of your way to discomfort them.
Let us live, in peace, please. We don’t want to hurt anybody.
Fuck you, Manchin. Burn in the deepest pit of whatever hell you believe in. You know you’ve earned it.
It’s not just Manchin that voted for it, other Democrats did too.
Heads up for those that follow it (aka trans folks), Biden took a turn on trans rights as well. He now supports bans on “gender affirming surgeries for trans kids”. Which is where Republicans started their crusade to try to ban all gender-affirming care for trans folks. (Yes, I know that slippery slope isn’t a valid argument, but in this case they actually started there and what they are now advocating for).
And people wonder why so many gender non-conforming folks are refusing to vote for Biden.

I don’t wonder that, because we’re not refusing to vote for Biden. Except for the suicidal trans doomers who are willing to throw their lives away making a political statement. Which is absolutely tragic, but also fuck them for risking all our lives too.
It’s that strange moment when bodily autonomy does not include voting your conscience. /s
Oh they certainly have the right to vote for fascism. And I have the right to call them assholes about it. That’s the democratic process in action. Democracy isn’t when your fascist ideas are never challenged, that’s fascism.
It’ll be fun revisiting this if Biden somehow wins and project 2025 policies still get implemented. Then it’ll be on to the next issue we totally have to vote blue to stop
I hope he stubs his toe in every room he walks into for the rest of his life
I hope he stubs his toe and it gets infected and he gets a slight case of sepsis.
I hope he stubs his toe, trips, and falls face first into a railroad spike, thereby making the world a better place to live in because a hateful waste of life bigot will be gone and no one will have to deal with the dumb bastard any more.
Be the change you wish to see in the world
End religious tax exemptions. At this point, they can’t stop themselves from crossing the line. Just accept the reality they are going to be political and tax them like any other business.
