I am so fucking scared. If they will do this to children they will be willing to do anything to adults.
it's so incredibly ghoulish. the cruelty is the point for these absolute monsters. when i realized i was trans, i literally spent hours crying for the girl i could never be. all i could hope for was for other people to grow up in a more enlightened time that would give them the care they need, let them be who they are, let them live the life they deserve. and then there's these parents out there, who do the right thing, who finally have the means to provide their children the care they need and deserve, who can spare their kids the irrepairable damage that comes from having to go through the wrong puberty, and they literally get hunted down for not being hateful, bigotted monsters harming their own children, get slandered in ways i cannot repeat here without seething.
You are loved, sister :cat-trans:
I have been incredibly lucky in my transition, so I'll try to live it for the both of us
thank you so much, sis! :transshork-happy: i'll see how my transition goes, i already know that any little bit helps, that even the baby steps i'm taking every day take a massive weight off my shoulder, that even the harm that's already done is not the worst hand i could have been dealt and i'm thankful for that. cisnormativity has forced me to live my best years under a veil of ignorance, but the entire rest of my life will be mine. i just want to spare other trans people the losses i had to endure. the dysphoria, the wasted years, the unfulfilled potential. today's kids already have such a burden on their shoulder from what previous generations have done to this planet, to this society, i just wish they could at least be themselves when they're playing in the wasteland that america is becoming. this is truly heartbreaking.
Please find community and some support if you can. You might never cis-pass but most trans people don't. HRT and living as your true self, regardless of your body can cause a huge positive shift in your life. Being around other trans people who have decided to live can make things seem possible that didn't seem possible before.
You are loved, I don't want to lose another sister.

Time to start a protracted people's war against the government of Texas (in minecraft)
nah, not right now. presumably the site administration would rather not get an FBI investigation if someone here actually pulls a :william-van-spronsen:, but it's not a real concern.
the greater worry is that as the necessity of political violence becomes clearer, open incitement on public fora becomes a very easy way for :fedposting: to entrap people who are disconnected from any wider movement.
Honestly, I can never tell. Sometimes people seem to be like "we shouldnt joke about that" but then sometimes people are like "hell yeah lets [do explicitly violent thing]"
Hopefully there will come a day where the people behind this will be the ones that fear for their safety
Trans people should flee Texas as soon as possible. At least they should arm themselves and form self-defence groups.
Most people can't just move. They should be arming themselves.
Trans people are already vulnerable. Cis white supporters should arm for their defense if needed.
Even that should be taken carefully, in many cases a rifle isn't needed to disrupt these efforts and it's wasteful to lose people.
Networks must be formed, sympathetic doctors found, and ways of getting drugs and other treatments into trans children's hands provided. We've done it before, getting anti AIDS drugs into people's hands in the 80s.
Meanwhile people who cant rusk their necks should make very, very loud noises. Outside every courtroom, outside every place a child is taken.
We can make it impossible to enforce this law unless they want to shoot white protesters dead in suburban streets weekly.
Which they might well be, but I don't think they have the nerve yet.
I am going to hunt down and murder everyone who goosesteps to Abbott's orders.
edit: in fortnite
I thought that too, but I fear nobody's going to tie that bell to that cat's neck
Iran is also better on the treatment of CIA agents and other agents of destruction.
no pit or wall. just force fem/bimbofi a certain governor and leave them in a plastic cube the rest of their life to suffer dysphoria and for the people to witness it at their leisure
Adventurism isn't. Organised and militant left opposition on the other hand...
I was physically and sexually abused by my birth parents. CPS is the only reason I'm still alive.
It must be nice to feel woke when you're privileged enough that virtual signaling about social workers is an intellectual exercise.
If your takeaway from all of that is that social workers are evil and people deserve to be stranded in abusive homes then yes.
She fed the wolf until it came for her and her kids.
Claiming I have a black and white philosophy and then writing shit like this that victim blames is beyond fucked up.
Just beyond fucking bigoted. Really funny how this kind of talk doesn't get trotted out by "leftists" until it is a marginalized person being affected.
"Aksullally we shouldnt feel bad that a young trans girl is being kidnapped and forcibly de-transitioned by the state because her mom may or may not have done some bad shit akshually! Did I mention I am a socialist?" -You
I am sorry if I misread what you posted and reacted unfairly. I don't think this is the best space for a nuanced discussion on CPS.
I just straight up disengaged from them. I'm glad the rest of this site gets why that kind of take is fucked up and contrarian.
Tbf there are a lot of people who work in child and social services who genuinely try to help kids. Social workers and child protection services are sometimes necessary, I don't know if it can be likened to cops who only exist to protect property rights and entrench white supremacy. Some aspects of child services definitely do that, but other parts are more focused on helping kids
I'll also make it clear I'm not defending American child services, I don't know how those work
Social workers can't be compared to cops and it's insulting to victims of police violence for the person you are responding to to claim that.
