I want fewer gender-affirming surgeries... That's why I advocate for the liberal use of puberty blockers and HRT, so their body develops how they want it to.

Then you'd only have to worry about bottom surgeries if it causes them dysphoria.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago

Yeah surgeries suck hardcore and there's so many things that can go wrong. Prevention is way better

Lets triangulate ourselves into making everyone hate us, that'll definitely work.

[–] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago

don't worry, biden will protect us like he has so far!

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

Not rabidly genocidal enough to appeal to Republicans

Not smart enough to support trans rights

Just mediocre enough to pass the buck....to Republicans. Who will hate them anyways.

Ah, the classic International Chess Federation strategy.

And just yesterday a bunch of shitlibs were telling me "Fuck the Palestinians, vote Biden to protect trans rights!"

"is a staunch supporter of trans rights"

'allows actively harmful things to happen to trans people'

Pick one?

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 41 points 3 months ago

IN PRIDE MONTH EVEN

If you vote for the democrats you hate trans people bulborb-stare

[–] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 41 points 3 months ago

I don't think you can call someone a staunch supporter of trans rights when they say shit like that.

[–] Luna@hexbear.net 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, you don't understand. Biden is the harm reduction candidate because Trump will do this but worse /j

These things are already happening on the state level and I don't think Trump would be able to successfully do this at the federal level, so really, what's the difference?

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think Trump would be able to successfully do this at the federal level

I’m curious why. Like what specific power structure would stop him? Not saying you’re wrong. Just not sure what that would entail.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

“I will declare that any hospital or health-care provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth no longer meets federal health and safety standards—they will be terminated from receiving federal funds effective immediately.

“On Day One, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children,” Trump said.

“I will not give one penny to any institution that has a vaccine mandate or mask mandate from kindergarten through college,” Trump said.

Okay so he's quoted as saying a lot of shit in that article, but what sticks out to me is that the US Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse i.e. the ability to determine who gets federal funds. He doesn't get to just slash funding for whatever he wants... assuming Constitutional law still matters and his Court doesn't just give him the power to do everything he wants anyway.

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

I think there’s some nuance where the executive bureaucracy has a lot of discretion over federal spending depending on how that funding is allocated. I’m not sure of the specifics, but once a federal agency has funding, it often has the ability to pull certain funding from the states. I think a big part of Project 2025 (which is basically a more Trump-oriented version of what The Heritage Foundation has been pushing for decades) is the idea that federal employees can be reclassified from merit-based jobs to politically appointed positions, allowing for specialized positions which were previously protected from administration to administration within various agencies to become direct presidential appointees. And Project 2025 has thousands of people lined up for Trump to appoint along party lines.

All this said, I still think that many states will have protections for existing trans rights. Like New York specifically has protections beyond the relevant federal laws.

After the illegals comment I'm waiting for him to call us the T slur.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

High chance he says transgenders (probably has already tbh), low chance he says transsexuals, very low chance he says the t slur imo

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

My money would be on "transv***ite" before the others.

There are still people who think Hillary would have done a lot for trans rights when she’s made it clear that she thinks Dems should do less lip service to win elections. This won’t sway the diehards.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

The staunch supporter of trans rights whose most explicit statement on the topic is that he wants to ban trans healthcare?

Words have no meaning anymore.
