By saying you can't use the term cisgender, you then ostracize trans people by not having an equivalent term to describe cis people and thus make them "abnormal." It's like saying you can't use the term heterosexual or straight. This is literally a debate we had twenty years ago.
I want to emphasize, we are attempting strengthen the Democratic party. We are redirecting efforts to no longer use: Birthing person, Cisgender, Deadnaming, Heteronormative, Patriarchy, LGBTQIA and Pregnant people Also, please inform yourself on the other 45 specific words to no longer use. Thanks
It's like saying democrats need to focus less on gender issues while Republicans are introducing 800+ bills a year targeting LGBTQ people. It's not the language you're using or the policy you're making! It's that the far right have an effective reality distortion machine in the media.
If Gavin Newsom winds up being the Dem nominee for president and is running against literally any Republican, will you vote for him?
anyone willing to compromise on: - whether it's ok to assault and rob the unhoused - the rights of gender and sexuality minorities - literal genocide will not only be someone I don't vote for, but someone I try my utmost to undermine at every step and at any cost

I believe this skeet answers your question for you: bsky.app/profile/angr...
No.
The LBGQ+ community voted 70% for Obama even though he was against gay marriage in 2008. Would president John McCain and Sarah Palin have been better for the legalization of gay marriage or the other protections Obama signed?
Take a look at the UK. That's what would happen to trans people under Newsom.
You didn’t answer my question.
What protections? Why don't you tell me how you think we got gay marriage.
Why did you leave out the T?
check out the quote in his bio; gavin gave him someone to look down on
The poll didn’t ask at the time.
Because the poll didn’t ask. The point is the better candidate got the vote from them even though they weren’t getting everything they wanted.
Was Obama running on actively stripping them of rights they already had? Or was he just indifferent to their fight at the time? Newsom is hostile to rights we've had for decades.
86% of us voted for Harris, too. And your party's response has been to adopt MAGA positions on our community. Why should we continue to pretend you'll protect us?
No. www.yahoo.com/news/gavin-n...
why bother? he's just another fucking fascist.
Newsom would lose, and lose badly, regardless of whether we vote for him or not. You have three years to find and back a progressive who won't repeat the same mistakes of the last three elections instead of instinctively coronating the biggest dipshit sell-out around.
No
Yes, fucking everyone is the way forward.
No. We already have a Nazi lover in the white house, so I won't support Newsom either
The dnc wants to be the center right now
you mean diet fascists
Diet Fascism only gives voters a hankering for original flavour Fascism.
Yup if you can’t beat them join them is the new dnc motto
they can dig that ditch by themselves bsky.app/profile/wint...
Same scam, different era. Republicans press the accelerator; democrats block the brake. That’s how we got here. Note yet another white male in California attacking gender diverse and unhoused people while playing at a parody of resistance for the crowd. Republicans, democrats. Both fascists.
They already are/have been by European standards. For whatever that's worth.
They already are what are you talking about want to be they have been for the past 10-20 years
Yes, dear. That's why Biden built all those extermination centers and had tanks patrolling the streets, right? The Third Way's tactics aren't any better when you use them, you know.
Thank you dear, you're obviously right and know everything. How could I be so foolish.
I have no idea how you can be so foolish. One hopes your intellectual performance will improve in future.
Thank you Mr man for correcting my foolishness, I'm just so stupid
Recognizing it is the first step.
They do, it’s fucked up and it will not work. We gotta hold strong, we can win in 2028, we have plenty of time to find the right strategy
I remember that debate with using straight/heterosexual growing up.
