I'm not saying to vote for this guy. I'm saying vote against him. Anyone else is better than this clown.
I am saying: why are you voting at all, when you keep being proven, election after election, that people that are not you, will never have your best interests in mind? You can vote Frank Liberati away, but your state’s transphobia/dead naming remains.
I am asking why do you believe voting for politician actually works in our favor?
You vote to keep people like this asshole from policy that negatively impacts people's lives. Or, do you not care about who writes the laws in your area?
Must be nice, having the kind of privilege where you can just ignore all that, knowing that none of it affects you
Ah I see the problem you haven’t realized: who are these laws for? Politicians, yourselves, or some foreign entity? Why haven't you questioned why policy makers live very different lives than you, and blatantly want to keep deadnaming us? Why don't they just accept our new names, and carry on?
If you have already realized this, then why are you not taking their privileges away from them, directly?
Do you think a pen is going to cease deadnaming?
