I say again: The human rights of transgender people are the focus of the fascists right now, so everyone has to stand firmly and loudly with trans people, and especially #ProtectTransKids . It's the 70s/80s panic all over again. Kids weren't being "turned gay" then, and there's no "transing" now.

Elon Musk is offering to pay the legal bills of anyone fired for their posts on Twitter (except the employees HE fired for their posts on twitter, obvi.) He didn't specify exactly who that is, but the comments immediately revealed the dogwhistle: it's TERFs.

I think it's important for our side to read up on the actual human rights law, so that we have answers when TERFs ask stuff like "How can someone's legal ID just NOT MATCH their genetics, HUH? How is that okay??" Well buddy, there are reasons. Law reasons.

Mainly, governments can't just regulate people because "it's tradition" and especially not because "their kind are a threat to others." That one is right out, explicitly, it's like the very first human right of all. There has to be a legitimate government purpose for regulations.

Since medical science now understands that some people are just inherently transgender, and it's not an illness or ruse, it's a healthy human variation like left-handedness, then therefore trans people deserve reasonable accommodations, like legal recognition as their affirmed gender.

There is no legitimate government purpose in having genders assigned by the government and restricted based on genetics. In fact, allowing the government to check people's genetics to ensure they match an assigned ID category is bad, actually. Very bad.

And here is a link to info from Victor Madrigal-Borloz, the UN Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, with Key Documents about the state of human rights law and the fascist attack on it. https://www.ohchr.org/en/s...
