So the Trump Regime has decided to widen its War on LGBT People by declaring that it will now only recognize a binary gender world where transition is not possible and where transgender people don’t exist.
Per the New York Times:
“Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” the department proposed in the memo, which was drafted and has been circulating since last spring. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person’s sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.”
The new definition would essentially eradicate federal recognition of the estimated 1.4 million Americans who have opted to recognize themselves — surgically or otherwise — as a gender other than the one they were born into.
#WontBeErased is currently trending on Twitter as trans people and allies are rising up and posting photos of themselves in order to protest against this latest assault upon our civil rights.
Remember, in a fascist regime, civil rights are stripped away from those who do not conform to the fascist ideal. We all know the history of the Pink Triangle and how it was used in Nazi Germany to erase LGBT people in that regime. Think it can’t happen here? Think again.
The genie is already out of the bottle and won’t go back without a HUGE fight. And now with that radical sexual-assaulting frat boy on the Supreme Court, we can’t even count on the Justice System to protect us.
This is simply beyond the pale. Trump and his goons are desperate to roll back civil rights all in the aim of bolstering his diminishing numbers. It’s cynical politics of the worst degree, and these fascists really do believe that they can attack our population without pushback. Well they are WRONG.
Vote this November like your life depends on it. Because for many of us, it does.
