I’ve tried so many times to get people to care about what was happening to trans people on Facebook before I nuked that account. People that ostensibly cared, friends and family from all stages of my life. I only ever got any reactions from my trans friends and a few LGBT friends.
They don’t care. They don’t care that we’re being targeted and having rights stripped away. If I ever talk about it, the usual reaction is disbelief and denial that it’s that bad. I don’t believe we will ever get the support from enough cis people to stop this. I increasingly get the feeling we’re on our own.
I can’t get some of my siblings to understand why I don’t want to travel to Pensacola or outside of Mobile for a reunion- that I don’t feel safe going somewhere where I can be arrested for using the restroom.
And don’t want to spend money in states rated the worst for LGBT & trans safety.
I usually hear that as “allosexual” (or alloromantic in the case of romance-havers. )
I can relate to what you say. I always knew something about my gender identity felt off, but I didn’t feel like a woman, either. If I had had information about being non-binary I likely would have figured that out before my mid-forties!
Only issue i have with this terminology is that it runs the risk of including incels with asexual/aromantics as “non-sex-havers.” Being as i am not in either group (asexual or incel) i really have no voice in the issue, just an outsider’s view.
I saw that video, but I did not know that was in Wisconsin. Good for him for not only learning, but for apologizing! I hope others in my state can follow his example.
Hmm. Jasmine Crockett endorsed Adrienne Adams, which seems odd to me. Adams (no relation to Eric, although they were high school classmates), is not a progressive. She’s more of an old school liberal Democrat. AOC hasn’t endorsed anyone.
