anyone notice a lot of the links are dead this year? Seems like previous campaign links were maybe accidentally copied and pasted over?

I think 43% of trans respondants said they were considering moving to another state, with only 9% actually having moved to another state.

If the state you live in is on the do not travel list or on the verge of being on that list and it’s financially possible to do so, it does seem like a good idea to move to a trans refuge state, especially somewhere semi-affordable like Minnesota.

congrats on getting out!

the 400,000 were people who moved within the US as I understand it, not including people who left the country

I’m not sure we have numbers on how many have left the country, would be interested to know and compare. I assume it’s an even smaller number than the 9% of trans respondents who moved to another state.

The year the Nazis took power in Germany the number of Jews who fled the country was around 7% of the Jewish population (which like trans people only made up around 1% of the population at the time). Before the end, half of the Jewish population had fled Germany, though.

and don’t roll over and let the semen drip into your vagina, because anal sex can still cause pregnancy if not careful

I thought this was mostly a joke, but there really are men in the comments telling us to just buy men’s pants 🙄

sometimes people can be a great sexual partner, but poor relationship material, maybe it’s something like that?

maybe black and white thinking describes what you are talking about?

yeah, Democrats are complicit in plenty of ways, but not just as complicit 🙄

I can’t tell if the hyperbole is just because the culture is so right wing and the assumption is that they need to shock liberals out of their stupor, but tbh I don’t think liberals even like the Democrats that much, there is plenty of hate and frustration with the Dems coming from liberals these days … at least that’s my experience

why?

you can tell it’s not dudes she fucked because the scores are so high

probably the most directly helpful boycott is one that ensures money is denied to US companies so they are motivated to lobby and change things to protect their bottom line (as a last resort of course, and maybe not at all)

cultural boycott is more extreme and less directly important to bringing about immediate political change, but is nonetheless probably an important part of bringing about rejection of US hegemony and dominance, so it’s not a bad approach in addition to denying the US your money

sounds like depression™️

don’t forget that like >90% of people take stimulants like caffeine every day …

pretty sure redditors who 1. have disproportionately been banned from reddit for some reason or another and 2. feel some sense of victimization and seeks anti-reddit solidarity on Lemmy are going to have significant overlap with incels and misogynists. Lemmy has overwhelming millennial tech bro vibes ime.

a lot of the links are to dead / expired campaigns, are the links old or something?

where is the state AG threatening to bring a case against the hospital for violating state anti-discrimination laws? The hospitals need to understand that early compliance will not save them from liability, particularly when they are violating state laws to do so …

you know what helps us lose the cock? better support and funding for trans healthcare … something like half of all trans women would like a vaginoplasty but something like 12% are actually able to make it happen

oh I’m not meaning to call into question the wisdom of your temp ban given what you seemed to know at the time and the way she responded to you

since she wasn’t willing to do the labor to explain herself I figured I would be willing to, esp. since as a woman I get where she’s coming from

my comment was really just a desire to explain the context as it made sense to me, more than anything else

they’re a woman and if I had to guess they are bitter about men (this could be for lots of reasons; least of which is because 1 in 3 women are victims of sexual or partner violence and 1 in 5 girls have been a victim of rape or attempted rape, the vast majority at the hands of men; if not for a reason as extreme as that, at the very least it’s not uncommon that men feel a right to talk over women, to be in their personal space, to ignore or dismiss their perspectives, and to demand women do supportive labor for them like making the coffee, scheduling the meetings, keeping notes, etc. for them).

She is saying as a woman it makes her feel men are worthwhile for being willing to be contacted like this, presumably because a man choosing to do so shows a sort of kindness or good will that is redeeming.

Then, the reporter is probably a man who read her comment and felt wronged for being described as part of the “terrible gender”, and what was reported her “sexism” for referring to men as a “terrible gender”.

Obbviously the racism and transphobia are irrelevant given the comment and context, as is the sexism since her bitterness is literally being tempered by a redeemable quality she is praising that men would be willing to do this …

so yeah, I dunno - removing the comment & banning her feels like punching down based on an unreasonable claim of sexism, though she doesn’t help things by responding to your confusion with hostility and unwillingness to explain what she probably feels should be blindingly obvious (particularly because it’s an issue of injustice)
