No, actually. Unfortunately? Not in the slightest.
This is falling for the same logic behind “woman caught faking assault claim; can you stop telling us to believe women now?”
Democrats are still the only party, on a national level, that gives a single flying fuck about the queer community. Trans community obviously included. SOME democrats are considering betraying their constituents. Why? Because they’re idiots who think it will help them negotiate WITH REPUBLICANS. Your options are NOT democrats or some pie in the sky bullshit. Your options are democrats or republicans. OUR options are democrats or republicans. Unless you live in Alaska and have an electorally successful third party, we are not in a position to walk away from democrats.
The only thing required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.
Biden, as shit as he was, put stronger trans protections in place than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT. EVER. What has Trump done for us?
If you’re pissed at democrats (rightfully) for being the political equivalent of a paper sign in a hurricane right now, your options are NOT go live in fantasy land or support democrats. They are throw in with the fascists or kick democrats in the ass until they get their rear in gear.
SO FOR FUCK’S SAKE, CALL OR EMAIL OR SOMETHING AND TELL PEOPLE YOU EXIST AND TELL THEM IT’S THEIR JOB TO FIGHT FOR YOU.
We have to fight for ourselves, but we can’t do it alone. We have to look at our dubious quality allies and yell we’re here and we’re queer and we’re not fucking going anywhere until they fight with us. They’ll fight like hell, too. They’ve done it before. Because we have real allies among them. But you’ve gotta help your real allies move this big tent where we need it to go.
