    If you do not try to accept all of us, we do not want your allyship.

    This especially goes for the transphobic gay people who think the face eating leopards party will not eat their face too

      I knew a lady in the Army. Under Obama, she got the right to be out. She also got the right to marry her long-time girlfriend and receive the pay allowances that hetero couples received.

      She voted for Trump in 2016.

        I have a lesbian relative who posts transphobic Bill Maher clips.

        She also claims her wife has personally witnessed litterboxes in classrooms for furries, which she associates somehow with trans kids using bathrooms.

        I love her, but it’s a challenge.

          I just… do these people somehow think they won’t be targets, once all the trans people have fled to safer states?

          We lost Roe v Wade, how long before we lose Lawrence v Texas and 14 southern states immediately start to arrest and imprison openly gay people?

            FWIW, I have a pretty strong suspicion that the broader society is going to experience strong revulsion at the signs that are invariably going to start going up at red state businesses, stating that they do not serve LGBT patrons. Every shit head with a small business is going to start arguing that he exercises creativity in how he replaces a muffler and thus can not be forced to accommodate them.

            It is one thing when the Supreme Court pre-rules for some Colorado dipshit who didn’t even have standing; it’s entirely another when people see the modern equivalent of “Whites Only” signs put up in the windows of local businesses in their area. There is something so fundamentally fascist about this kind of thing, I just don’t believe that the bulk of Americans will put up with it.
