I have trans friends in the US. This bill probably won't pass, but that doesn't mean more will come. They're already putting immigrants in concentration camps. So it looks like the gays and trans people are next. Probably not long before dissidents are after that.

A whole gay jail? Sign me up!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

nope, a mostly straight jail. they won't put us together. specifically, trans women like me are sent to men's prison and assigned to be the prison wives of violent inmates to pacify them and as a "reward" for good behavior. it's called v-coding.

Naaawwww :( I wanted to be locked up with fellow enbys. Would be a RIOT in prison.

What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?

[–] [email protected] 64 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

kinnda funny the same rednecks running 'dont tread on me' flags are fucking terrified of trans people. cowards.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder if the most hateful are their women...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

It's all about freedom in Texas. Freedom for me and my kind.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like thought crime to me.

Easy loophole: Just identify as your gender. Trans women are just women now. Trans men are just men now.

Nah, Trump made Women and Men non existent. Everyone who goes by Mr. or Ms. needs to go to jail and become slave labor. Sorry mate, best we can do

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Identify as embryo or slave, no other choice in the free world

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Well, that’s better than socialism where you have no freedom, and you’re forced to have as many genders as there are in reality. /s

People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights

The sad thing is that Mango Mussolini would be stupid enough to actually pass something like that.

Have you read black history in the US? :)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Or read about native Americans? I say read because they are almost extinct

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Or, like, any pre-2008 American history lmao

Recognizing human rights was an anomaly over the last few years, not the norm

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

You're not wrong, but I also don't think the US is unique in that regard. There's been a lot of bullshit going on, even in countries that you would never imagine things like that happening in.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

In most decent states there's been a ton of progress. I never claimed we were always perfect. No country has been.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

No I know. I would say all countries are pretty fucked up actually. Because human leaders are greedy and awful human beings in most cases.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago

You say "decent states" as if you think rural east Oregon is better than Atlanta in that regard, just because Oregon is blue and Georgia is red.

As long as children keep dying from measles, this is a wonderful distraction!

[–] [email protected] 73 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The slow removal of my basic human rights and criminalization of my very existence feels like a little more than just a distraction. I'm not upset at you I just really hate these things that in fact are greatly affecting my mental health and overall well-being. I'm afraid to even leave my house presenting as my true self.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know how helpful this is, but we'd welcome you with open arms in most of europe on a social level, especially west and northern europe. On a institutional level there are requirements that vary from country to country about work and skills etc.

Since things are getting really bad over there, it might be worth properly researching.
