AND most of all, this is where things were always headed: Using trans people to oppress women (of all kinds).
Trans people are both the excuse for this and the scapegoat they'll use to avoid blame. "We did this because of the trans community, so it's their fault this happened to you, not ours!"

Trans people were the pretext but this was about allowing more sexual harassment in the workplace. Yet, the media will fixate on trans people to make it seem like it only affected us, which it didn't since the guidance covering trans people was already enjoined.

The EEOC has just voted 2-1 to remove the entirety of its employer guidance on sexual harassment because portions of it protected trans people.
This administration is pro sexual harassment while simultaneously claiming they protect women.

I don't know how to process living in an occupied city, where the occupiers are in theory my government, so there can be no hope of rescue from my government. Seeing a friend at fencing practice as he's on the phone alerting his neighbors to an ICE car making the rounds was the one today.
