1. find a way to convince cisgender people to care
I'm asking what concrete steps we take to fight this, like connecting with federal unions or getting AG's to sue.
I suspect someone will sue, but I’m not 100% sure who would have standing other than federal employees affected by this. Unfortunately, I think it’s a mistake to believe the courts will rule in our favor, as all evidence says to the contrary. An initial injunction is possible, but higher courts? No.
Unions file grievances. You think the 4th Circuit will rule against us when the case gets there? That Court is keeping our bathrooms open in NOVA right now since that is the justification these districts have used to fight DoE.
You have your answer. Until cisgender people as a collective actually give a shit about our survival nothing will change. In the meantime, join and/or form community and trade groups, get militant, be ready to defend your own life. Establish anti-capitalist barter networks in your area.
Sad that you cannot see the amount of support we have. Our issues are but one set we are all fighting.
I never said that - you're missing the point: Don't rely on impacting or changing the system. This regime is literally committing genocide against us and history shows that organized cis support is often toothless or conditional. Build community. Prepare for a general strike. That's how we fight.
What is happening to us is not genocide. That is what is happening in Gaza & to an extent in the West Bank. I haven't lost perspective.
I'd say we're between stage 4 and 6, depending on where you are and what segment of society you're interacting with. Look, I'm not trying to fight you. You asked what a first step toward resistance is, and I'm trying to put you on the shortest path to buildable success. hmd.org.uk/learn-about-...
