Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order rolling back transgender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, reversing key measures introduced by Joe Biden.
The new order declares the federal government will recognize only two genders and bans agencies from promoting gender transitions.
Federal documents, prisons, and agencies must comply.
Trump also targeted environmental justice grants and diversity training programs.
Civil rights groups condemned the move, pledging legal challenges.
It has to do with trans people because you don’t get to pick one candidate on this topic and another on that topic. By outright rejecting the democratic candidate these same people where willing to throw every minority and marginalized group in our own country under the bus for that one ideologically pure stance.
And it isn’t even actually ideologically pure, since the Republicans are 1000% worse on Israel and Palestine.
This is exactly what I don’t get about that whole pre-election anti-dem bombsrdment spam. I wonder how many of those accounts were Russian Musk troll bots.
EDIT oh there’s one right here in this thread. Sticking to their guns. And look at that tld.
Okay, and?
The statement in the parent comment
is false, because nobody said that. Simple as that. You can take issue with the anti-Democrat stance, but nobody tried to imply it’d result in a better environment for trans people.
They where declared an acceptable sacrifice for purposes of making a point about Palestine. IE: if you allow democrat policies on Palestine to continue then we are willing to let the minorities here in America burn.
Okay are you being willfully obtuse or do you have a habit of ranting about things nobody asked? You moved the goalposts from the statement of the parent comment to your own beef with Gaza non-voters, which I frankly don’t care about. Either engage with the original idea or go do something else, but this is just ridiculous.
Who do you think the ideological purists in the parent comment means? I’m fine with being told different but to me that says people who refused to vote to keep the Trump camp out based on that single issue regardless of any detrimental impacts to anyone or anything else .
edit: and to preempt some argument that they did not literally utter the words that ‘trans people will be better off under trump’ if that’s the argument you’re trying to push them have fun with it. Actions > Words
