And the backlash against it has been horrible.  Pure hate and fear mongering, I'm just glad its there, my fear is that because it is through the executive branch, if the pendulum swings, those who have been pushing the anti trans legislation in the states could get the power to come after us.

This is the stuff that cost me a lot of my mental health in the last 6 years or so.  The family believes the rhetoric, discards anything fact based, and then goes after me personally to the point that I just want to leave.

But to the point, its good to see this happen, I can't ever go through TSA screening without some kind of difficulty.

I read another "I've got your back" quote from Biden yesterday - it's good to hear some action is backing that up.

Meanwhile, in the UK the conservatives are moving forward with a ban on conversion therapy, but - excluding trans people.

The atmosphere over there seems pretty nasty right now, and I'm hoping it will be shut down before it spreads

What is happening there is partially funded by far right groups from the US. This is already interconnected.

Its fear mongering and is there to take your mind off the rest of the constant overwhelming failures of the right.
They can't get through a day without making it seem like its other people and never them that are fucking everything up.
But take like the don't say gay bill in FL, it goes both ways if you read the way it is written, if say the teachers make a reference to straight mom and dad to a kid who has two dads or two moms, they can sue the fuck out of the schools as well.
It does swing both ways and thats the thing, you take them down a notch by turning the tables and for those hardcore assholes who make bogus claims, ask for proof to back those claims up, they have none because there is none.
It goes right to the heart of it when you call them out for being bigots and they get all huffed up and claim they aren't, but you point out that they are the very definition of what a bigot is and there is nothing they can say, they know they are.
Its like the right trying to claim they are not racist when you call them racist, they are the very definition of what a racist is, there is no halfway to either, you are a bigot and you are a racist if you fit the definition, its like being sorta pregnant, no such a thing.
Never argue the point, just tell them they are and walk away, they aren't going to find anyone who agrees with them except others who are the same and its obvious to them they are as well, people personally don't want to admit they are either but are more than willing to point a finger at others who are.
Its kinda like this, you are told that you are trans or gay and you agree, they are told they are bigots and they fall all over themselves trying to make up some bullshit that they aren't, their arguments point out that they really are just bigots, there is no sorta bigotry, you either are or you aren't.
Their common talking points of accusing this and that, just walk away, their arguments are hollow and a waste of time even trying to make it a conversation, just tell them you don't talk to asshole bigots and racists and walk away, ruin their day, it isn't hard to do, it was ruined just by being who they are.

Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately over there that kind of hate is crossing from the right to some who would place themselves to the centre and left in their politics too

Weak people kick other peoples dogs all the time, complain about others all the time, blame everything on others all the time, its weal and they know it but by jumping on some shaly bandwagon they feel like they have joined some sort of club, strength in numbers, but wrong is still wrong no matter how many people join the club.
People who think trans and gay are wrong are in a minority and always have been, always will be and because real information is making its way into peoples minds, things like trans and gay are just becoming a part of the norm.
Its the people who can't see past themselves and want everyone to be just like they are and yet they are despicable people and their friends and neighbors know it, but its a bit like bad breath, people fail to tell them they stink and that their opinions are not shared by others with the excaption of others who stink the same way, assholes are those people who sit around and complain about everyone else making the world a worse place when it is just the simple fact that sitting around and blaming everyone else is what makes the world a worse place.
They are putins. think they are tough but when it comes right down to it, they are some of the weakest people on the planet, they don't have the intellectual capacity to get out of their own way.

Trouble is for me personally, the media hate has destabilized my head, I'm kind of a mess lately, but there's a lot going on with me anyway.

I feel like the matrix has me by the shorts.

The more truth that is out there, the better. I'm still reeling from when Trump actually told people they couldn't use words like medical based science, I mean, just how far to insanity do you have to go to repress and edit out all references to trans? Mein Kampf? Burn the books, but use the computers to erase the truth?

It just freaks me out that in the 21st century we have these thought control monsters on the planet trying to screw up everyone elses lives, I don't care who they are, just leave us the heck alone and let us live our lives.

This world scares the shit out of me.

You have to realize that most republican politicians don't know jack shit, are ignorant and on top of it are basically just to lazy to try to understand anything that they think is science.
Take their science away and you strip them down to who they actually are, just cave dwellers who are just on the verge of doing hand prints by spitting colored mud at the their fingers spread out on a wall.
Like ted cruz is not exactly known for being smart, lindsey graham is just plain stupid, and don't get me started on the rest of them, they are to dumb to understand that they are stupid.
They hate science because one, they are proved wrong with it all the time, two they just can't figure out the intellectual parts of it, three it just gets in the way of their lies.
They hate anything and want nothing to do with anything that goes against the bullshit they try to pass off as something smart, its pretty obvious to the people who can critically think their way through a problem to see that they just are not capable of even logical thought.
Too much eating paint chips when they were kids, while the rest of the children were outside playing and having fun, they were busy chipping away at that sweet tasting paint in their basements.
I mean think about it, while so many kids in blue states were brought up on at least something that was basically food, they never quit eating twinkies for lunch because its one of their food groups.
