    go tell the Trans community that the republicans and democrats are the same, the only people who can say shit like this are those with an ungodly level of privilege

      If the democrats actually use any of their power to protect trans people federally from the ongoing attack in red states causing an internal refugee crisis then sure.

      They’re doing an ok job of protecting trans people in blue states though sure, but they are sitting on their laurels when it comes to trans people outside of the states they control and allowing a “states rights” mindset to trans discrimination to normalise.

      Case in point the democrats are actively working to pass bills that they know their opposition is going to use against lgbt people.

      Ah yes, the Middle Easterners getting bombed clearly have so much privilege over transgenders

        first, nice whataboutism, secondly, yes they do, they can live their lives openly, sure there is risk of becoming collateral damage, but a trans person in the USA will get beaten and attacked, and if they are really unlucky, like the middle easterner, you seem to care about so much, will die for it, just they have to deal with all the other shit beforehand.
