Kinda pissed that the first trans congresswoman is also a zionist lib. Letting this go unchallenged is only going to embolden the fash.

GIRL FUCK OFF WHO IS THAT FOR

Why bother even running for congress. Zooey Zephyr fucking showed up every day even after they kicked her out for decrying the treatment of trans youth. Why did you wanna be in congress so bad

There was no immediate reaction from most House Democrats, including leadership

I'm not here to fight about bathrooms

Fuck off, being able to exist in public is a fight worth having. This framing as if bathrooms aren't important pisses me off.

Especially when right after she writes

I am here to fight for delawareans

Are there no other trans people in Delaware?

The worst part of this is all the cis libs calling it a brilliant move.

Just kidding, the worst part of this is that it's an early indicator that we're going to be bulldozing forward into all sorts of measures eliminating trans people from public life. One party will take everything from us, and the other will think they're brave for abandoning us.

The cis libs calling it brilliant is pretty bad tho

hardly surprising, you've gotta be on an incredible level of self hatred to be this much of a comprador token minority in the halls of power anyway. just sad and tragic

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 42 points 1 week ago

absolutely disgusting spineless traitor behavior. anyone who would be so complicit in their own oppression deserves the horrible fucking death their allies will no doubt inflict upon them

revolting. abhorrent. ugh

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

agree its totally pathetic i can't bring myself to feel an ounce of sympathy or solidarity for this comprador zionist

Like seriously, I get her saying that there are other issues to work on, but like, do you think the people would have voted for a trans woman if they didn't think trans rights and representation are important? Stand up if not for yourself then for all the other folks these guys are coming after with your implicit permission!

The gym part is even more confusing for me, like why do they have a women's gym in the white house to begin with, is it just a historical vestige or is there so much sexual harassment in DC that they needed to lock out the men? It's not a particularly normal thing in the US to have women's gyms, the YWCA allow men. Even if they are going with the she's not a woman argument, how does that apply to the gym?

Probably had to do it for a safe space from Biden.

Starting out spineless to set the tone for her congressional career.

What the fuck is the point of her then?

To say that even a trans woman thinks (horrible transphobic thing) is reasonable!

Justice is a thing you make from tyrant juice. Substitutes dont satisfy.

[-] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

Bit idea: ratchet effect but most of the time the people who are supposedly stopping the ratchet just decide that they don't feel like doing it.

Unfortunately expected of a zionist lib though omori-miserable

[-] Saoirse@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

no "congressional representative" will ever represent you when your very nature is incompatable with the foundational myths of the empire. never be fooled and never give up any part of yourself for their false acceptance.

[-] MouthyHooker@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I suppose this shouldn’t be a surprise. The Democratic party would never support a candidate who isn’t a spineless coward. They don’t want us to elect people who will fight for us. The only reason they don’t primary people like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib is that they’d risk losing those seats to a Republican.

Fucking losers. Gonna compromise and respectability their way straight into fascism but somehow we are the assholes for refusing to support them.

We're about to see why appeasing one's opposition doesn't work, yet again

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Im bummed that shes a zionist lib but i was happy to see MTG and her ilk gettinf triggered. Im bummed about this result - it almost feels like its giving transphobes/terfs an example of a "good trans person". "She doesnt make a fuss about bathrooms or try to play sports with girls, she isnt shoving it in our face like all the radical wokies"

Hopefully she stands for trans rights in the future though. I disagree with her action here but i also understand the desire to make it go away. It would just suck if the first openly trans congressperson ends up supporting a ban on transgender healthcare for minors or some shit like that

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Oh hey the token trans person that is allowed in government to rubberstamp all policies is not going to do anything? damn who could have seen it coming

it is cool we have a trans woman elected though, just sucks that she sucks

Can we get a bill that disallows Titans from posing as humans and serving in Congress?
