at some point, someone is going to fire back, someone is going to loot and burn a collaborator business, someone is going to take radical action, and you gotta resolve NOW to stand with those people, not denounce them as "outside agitators" or "feds" or "criminals". don't sell out your comrades.

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years.
we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this??

- A lot of chatters in my stream today were VERY panicked about this bill. It IS scary. If this is a panic attack-inducing proposition to you, my advice is to call your members of Congress (or have a trusted friend / loved one call) and to follow @techdirt.com and maybe otherwise limit exposure

This is not a debate or anything like it. It is demonstrably a thing that's happening so fight for trans rights, which are human rights, or you're complicit in the campaign of erasure.
Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.
