JK ROWLING IS KILLING TRANS FOLX

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO SEPERATE THE ART FROM THE AUTHOR AND DISCUSS JK ON HER POLITICAL MERITS ALONE INSTEAD OF USING HP BASHING AS A CRUTCH?!

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Rich of loco to post in the "Talks of labeling every trans American as a domestic terrorist are now on the table" thread after professing their undying love for the new South Park season.

This happened back in 2005 in San Francisco for prop H. SF banned gun ownership and distribution including bullets. Cops came out right away and said their was no way in hell they would go door to door and take those things away from people. The unions had their back too and it ultimately got struck down by the state courts. The police (and their union backing) will never adhere to this and will flat out give the middle finger to Trump if this passes.

Era being pro gun now wasn't on my 2025 bingo list.

I blame people who didn't vote and people who voted for republicans more than I blame democrats.

This, last year the election of all elections for harm reduction and so many didn't give a fuck about marginalized people in the country. Privilege was on full display last year. Build your communities and fortify, cause it's going to get worse.

Palestinians don't count I guess.. Y'all really telling on y'allself right now.

Imagine if the government made a white terrorist ideology watchlist—lets call em supremacists—and every white person started screaming that they are classifying ALL whites as terrorists.

Pretty sus reaction, I’d say.

I know I am late but that Tomb Raider casting thread. I am not confident Sophie Turner can pull off the role either but I understand why they casted her. In typical era fashion, they want someone casted who just isn’t a good fit instead.

At least no one tried to push Hunter Schafer.

[kaleidoscopium]

Only positive HP threads should be banned. You know, like OTs where people talk about enjoying the product. Negative HP threads should not be banned.

It's not hard to understand y'all.

It’s simple, they have two rules, don’t be a bigot and don’t be an asshole. Anything else is fair game!

It really is a mystery what happened to videogames reviews, it's so complex that the culprits will probably never ever be identified

[benji]

Proposition H sought to restrict handgun possession among San Francisco residents within city limits to police and certain security professionals, and to ban the manufacture, distribution, sale and transfer of firearms and ammunition within the city. Limited exceptions to the proposition would have allowed residents to possess handguns only if required for specific professional purposes. For example, San Francisco residents who are security guards, peace officers, or active members of the U.S. armed forces would be permitted to possess handguns while on duty. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors enacted penalties for violation of this ordinance, including mandatory jail time. Until April 1, 2006, residents would have been able to surrender their handguns to any district station of the San Francisco Police Department or the San Francisco Sheriff's Department without penalty (no refund of buying cost was planned).

...

San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris also sponsored the proposal.[2]

...

On June 13, 2006, in the case of Fiscal v. City and County of San Francisco (Case No. CPF-05-505960), San Francisco Superior Court Judge James Warren struck down the ban, saying local governments have no such authority under California law. Judge Warren sided with the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, and other petitioners represented by Chuck Michel of Trutanich-Michel, LLP, in Long Beach, California, who sued on behalf of gun owners, advocates and dealers the day after the measure passed.[4] Judge Warren wrote in his 30-page ruling that "Proposition H is adjudged invalid as preempted by state law."[1]

The judge's decision was not without precedent considering a California appeals court nullified an almost identical San Francisco gun ban on exactly the same grounds in 1982.[5]

The City appealed Judge Warren's ruling, but lost by a unanimous decision from the three judge panel in the Court of Appeals issued on January 9, 2008. On February 19, 2008, San Francisco asked the California Supreme Court to review Court of Appeal's decision. The state Supreme Court reached a unanimous decision on April 9, 2008, that rejected the city's appeal and upheld the lower courts' decision.

In October 2008, San Francisco was forced to pay a $380,000 settlement to the National Rifle Association and other plaintiffs to cover the costs of litigating Proposition H.[6]

On June 28, 2010, the Supreme Court decided that the Second Amendment applied to the states in the case McDonald v. City of Chicago, striking down all handgun bans nationwide.

And dude's praising this failing on Era.

Okay, I'll look, but only craziest posts, funniest posts and/or prominents:

I, for one, am glad that people tut-tutted me about using the phrase "trans genocide" the past several years. This was only going one place. Stay safe.

Allies? *crickets*

I've fought my entire life to try and do good, leave people to live their own lives, and not be a judgmental dickhead. It's how I was raised. It's how I live. Every American should be against this, but sadly we're in very dark times.

I think most trans people had a bad feeling it would come to this. And this may not materialize yet, but if it does, it's functionally the endgame. Maybe some of us didn't think it would happen this fast. I haven't changed all of my legal docs, but there's so much commercial and illegal data on me that would flag me in a hypothetical (and probably real, let's be honest) federal database. Next would be ICE, and then...

If this does come to pass, we need other countries to put on their big girl bras and offer asylum. This is the time.

Every centrist Dem that thinks giving an inch on any trans issue is going to result in some reasonable middle ground position needs to wake the fuck up. Republican orthodxy is to eliminate these people from society, not just high school sports. Dem politicians need to get comfortable with a full chest defense of trans people or get out of the party.

Republicans labeled themselves as domestic terrorist, it was their motto at their annual klan konvention.

If this does come to pass, we need other countries to put on their big girl bras and offer asylum. This is the time.

Canada and Mexico doing this would save thousands of lives.

Here we go. just like nazi germany.

Next they'll be having us wear colored triangles.

I will again emphasize being careful of your digital footprint in these times

Attacked on both sides of the Atlantic by the powers that be.

No clue when this rot infects neighbouring countries. Praying it doesn't.

This has to be where folks across the board draw the line. If we give, even an inch on this, every single non-Republican-conforming American will be criminalized and brutalized. Once the method and precedence are established, it's game over on all of us.

And because it doesn't affect a majority of people, the mainstream will probably not care.

Mainstrean probably should care because trans people are absolutely not the end of this.

Shit like this is always the start, never the end.

100,000% The "I did not speak up when they came for..." poem should be a mandatory face tattoo for everyone not paying attention!

It's never the end, it can't be for Fascism, it's why it's ultimately self-destructive. They always need an enemy, someone to hate and it'll be the next target and the next target and then the next. First it'll be trans people then the LGBTQ+, anyone thinking being on their side will help them in the long-run is fooling themselves.

Honestly at this point the US has no value as a nation or even as a concept. The sooner the union fucking dies, the better. Let Trump go down in history as the man that killed the USA.

Any trans folks that can afford to get out should look into taking any avenues possible to find safe haven somewhere where they won't be persecuted.

It feels like Trump and Starmer are having competitions with each other to see who can get the most trans folk killed.

I hate this fucking world, allies need to start actually helping.

Any trans folks that can afford to get out should look into taking any avenues possible to find safe haven somewhere where they won't be persecuted.

What my wife and our best friends have been doing since election night. It's frantic think about planning it, but this would make it absolutely necessary

Yeah. The important thing is your safety. It's a terrifying thought to even have to consider, but at this point unless we start seeing substantial material pushback against this kind of bullshit, I can't judge any queer folks who are able to get themselves to safety outside of the country's borders for the time being.

Ah, so we are getting to the 'now we can just arrest and Inprison them for being who they are' level, aka what comes next after they've gotten all of the illegal people they want to deport and or stuff in a pop up prison they made in some republican state who is only so happy yo be this blatantly evil.

What in the actual FUCK.

Can we please just STOP attacking trans people? It's beyond the pale at this point... nothing short of bald faced genocide.

This is trans genocide, full stop.

Canada and Mexico doing this would save thousands of lives.

I would fucking LOVE if we could do this.

So much trans phobia and hate here though, we need to snuff it out, asap.

We absolutely cannot stand for this genocidal scapegoating of our trans brothers and sisters.

Firstly, because we love them, they are humans, and they deserve to enjoy the same immutable rights all people are innately entitled to.

And secondly, because this is just the beginning, and if we let them come for trans folk, they'll have all the permission and precedent they need to come for all of us next.

Everything is projection with these freaks. Cretinous sociopaths who only know how to accuse the people they don't like of the vile shit they themselves fully embody.

I need cis people to get out there and do something.

…what allies do we have left?

Seriously though, if they actually move forward with labeling trans people domestic terrorists, it would ban all trans people from airline travel. Their plan is to not allow us to leave, and make our existence illegal. This is the early stages of a genocide. That is now abundantly clear.

Was there a Bush era law passed that gave the President the authority to designate any group he doesn't like as a terrorist?

Yeah, it's still there. It's how the President can designate entire countries as enemies of the state, and it's the central provision that empowered Congress to ban TikTok, and it's how Trump keeps forestalling the ban indefinitely.

But both parties are the same.

So fucking disgusting.

Can't wait to read that shit on here next election if we even get one.

I'm catching a ban that day for sure.

In those select states, you can be damn sure the ghouls who head those states will find ways to give anyone labeled that way the full hell treatment. Or even worse. EO or no EO, they will ruins all sorts of lives within the LGBTQ community. ESPECIALLY the Trans community.

And that's like more than 50% of America.

So I wouldn't risk it, support and protect your Trans Brothers and Sisters. Even if its not the "worse case scenario", SUPPORT AND PROTECT THEM.

I want to say some very angry things, but it might catch me a ban or even put me on a government list.

For anyone remaining that's right-leaning or centrist, and still consider themselves sane, even this in particular has to be a step too far....

I really really hope Dems stop being cowards when it comes to protecting trans rights but sadly I doubt this will change anything in most of their minds

The current "leader of the party" is a transphobe that had Steve Bannon on his podcast and agreed with him.

Leave the country if you can do so people, your once free nation is not free anymore and is actively going to start hunting and killing you as things continue to drift towards Christofascist dictatorship. America is not safe for trans and LGBTQ people, they will 100% come after same-sex couples next.

Well we knew this would happen if Trump won. People on here said it would.
Now we see the framework and got 3 years off them pushing to outlaw anything Trans. Hopefully there can be a swing with mid-terms if there are even mid-terms.

If there's anything cisgender folks can do now as well as supporting and protecting the trans community during this time, its NOT LETTING THAT NEWSOM FUCKER GET THE GODDAMN NOMINATION.

The Christofascists are in power now, and they'll continue to destroy everything. They've been waiting to control the White House for decades, and they now have the opportunity to completely transform the US into a conservative Christian hellscape. Nothing is off the table. They're going to bring the US to its knees.

Get ready to fight fire with fire. It's the only way to stop these people.

 

You don't have to wait until General 2028, plenty of people say this unironically in circles like this forum and other spaces daily.

It's key to remember that people who say things like that in good faith are just as angry as you are, and it's basically an overlapping circle as far as belief in trans rights. They just also want the complete destruction of the Democratic Party as well.

And the problem is that nothing good is going to rise from the ashes if people are so busy burning the Democrats down that they don't do anything to fight back against the fascists in power right now.

They aren't going to get a magical socialist utopia if everyone is fucking dead.

umm no we have to let newsom become the nominee because uhh

umm

WELL ENJOY THE CAMPS THEN!!!

(reminder that some fuckin libs will literally go mask off transphobia if you dare criticize newsom god i fuckin hate liberals so much, they are NOT allies to trans people)

At this point any opposition leader that doesn't fiercely stand for trans rights isn't a leader at all.

I would agree with this, but I also think it shouldn't be blind leadership just for the sake of it. You have to convince the vast majority of country otherwise, which is doable. But that requires a lot of political capital being spent.

It is abundantly clear that the right-wing in this country runs on politically unpopular positions, so spending political capital on those issues isn't much of a concern for them. There's no reason why the left should play by different rules.

People need to have that Gaza energy for this shit too. Any politician presently in office and/or running for a position need to be met with massive backlash if they give anything short of unquestionable support for protecting trans people.

God. I can barely open jars now, but sure, let's label me a fucking terrorist.

Fuck America! This country needs to go to hell.

I don't know how much this will help, but this is a video from a member of this forum who talks about moving to Thailand. One of the few places welcoming to trans people.

Why can't people mind their own business and live their own lifes? How is this so hard? Who are these trans people hurting?

They are hurting no one.

The entire purpose of all of this is cruelty, erasure, the elimination of guardrails and the end of democracy in the United States. We knew this shit, they literally put out a blueprint that was fucking published.

Why can't people mind their own business and live their own lifes? How is this so hard? Who are these trans people hurting?

You're looking at it the wrong way, as if these were people. They are literally evil and don't live on any moral rational mindset you can think of.

Erasing trans people is only the beginning. This regime won't stop even when everyone is either dead or a slavish bootlicker. Nothing stops the fascist spiral.

Brutal and unrelenting revolts in the fucking street now, tomorrow, every day.

Yeah that's the thing...this being passed would immediately greenlight ICE to specifically go capture trans people.

Successful because a very large percentage of the country is legit just actual evil.

We better not settle for anyone that doesn't have a concrete plan to revert all this bullshit day one, and has a clear plan how to improve trans rights IMMENSELY within their term.

Can't I even hope for someone that does good to my trans siblings without getting sniped? I fucking advocated to vote for the democratic candidate all the way through, and I will again, if someone not perfect is chosen.

No time for this nonsense.

Maybe I can be weary of goalposts already being set up, and we're not even a year after the election. I want to not have to worry about republicans rounding me up, and using my body as part of a funeral pyre, not about setting up goalposts a dem has to reach in order to vote for.

I just don't want litmus tests being set up already, that's all.

Calling Newsom a transphobic piece of shit isn't a litmus test.

Or what? People stay home again, and declare themselves above the process, and how democrats always suck, and there's nothing more important than a clear conscience, even as the country burns down around them?

All this reads is that you'll be happy to sacrifice us in order to get what you want and then expect us trans people to vote for our own sacrifice and not speak out for the "greater good"; the exact shame shit Arabs and Muslim Americans were expected to do last year and so many minority groups in America for decades and decades; the very same attitudes that have caused so much of this voter apathy, unwillingness to vote for a party that has made it clear doesn't care for them and is one the big reason American Democracy has degraded so badly because Dems are so willing to give Republicans and bigots more inches for the hope of votes.

That is a rotten system and you don't clean the rot with more rot.

How is human rights now considered something acceptable to sacrifice? Do you REALLY think electing a Dem who will continue or not care about the blight of trans people or any minority group is someone who will actually change anything thing for the better, change and improve the system? If the Dems can't elect a nominee who actually care for all human rights, then their is no hope for the US.

Nazi's need to die. KDT

I am poor as fuck, have a trans adult daughter and live in Texas. We are completely fucked.

Conservatives claims being trans is an ideology, and with that mindset you can easily move further and say that the same ideology is dangerous and claim that they and their allies are terrorists.

They are just Nazis doing Nazi propaganda.

Only way I've been able to rationalize it is that this is them collecting/fabricating data to run Trans people as the top "threat" this upcoming election cycle (Because they can't run on immigration, Trump wants to use that as a success story for his administration). Any further escalation like attempting to actually label ALL trans folks as domestic terrorists is probably going to happen after the election, depending on how that goes.

"enemies of the state"
"Domestic terrorists"

Fascism doesn't work if it doesn't have a group of people that they can demonize and dehumanize.

More Nazi stuff from the usReich. Who'd a think it?

I have to assume the plan is to go after healthcare providers and clinics nationwide. Easier to drive some of us to suicide or conforming than start putting us in camps. For now. Liberals and centrists won't do shit to help us.

That's long been the thing. They don't need guns to get rid of us, they just need to slowly erode our ability to exist openly in the world through removal of civil rights, healthcare, and criminalisation of identity.

Also has been the way to sneak it past cis people even easier. We've been saying this is genocide across the US and UK for years, but it doesn't cross by people because it hasn't thus far been done via direct murdering. At least from the governments themelselves.

This feels inevitable in this administration. It's the Nazi playbook, keep the stupid/bigoted part of the population focused and angry about a minority "enemy", then they'll be in too much of a foaming-mouth rage to notice who is actually fucking them over. It's only going to get worse.

Another step toward full dehumanization... I just hate this stupid pointless world full of fundamentally hateful freaks and ignorant, mentally lazy Neanderthals. Keep fighting... somehow. Especially consider helping if you are in a comfortable position in life or wealthy.

We've already passed the dehumanising part, I hate to say.

I gotta find a way out of this country, bad. ._.

Ya if that shit goes through I'm not sticking around.

I don't know what to say or do. I'm scared and it's beyond evil that this is genuinely pur reality.

Alright, I only skimmed it but why are they even bringing up Newsom in that thread? Has he also proposed to ban trans people from owning guns? No? Congrats, then he's a better choice

Some posters were suggesting that this showed they needed to vote for Democrats no matter what and Clicky and the others did not find this acceptable as trans rights is not a litmus test. That includes all of it like sports and surgeries on children or prisoners. Bending on any of it just says it's okay to genocide.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

so they will vote for Newsom if it's harm reduction, right?

uhm trans rights supersede the genocide of brown folx in Palestine, it's why everyone needed to vote for Killer Kamala okay? Stop trying to re-write history, chud.

Sigh I'm tired of fucking Palestinians getting all the attention.

Vote for Newsom? He wants trans women to not join cis women sports, sorry but that's worse than genocide.  

[benji]

I don't think Newsom (or Buttigieg) has even taken that position, just said that the concerns shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. Their crime is providing any legitimacy at all to the majority of the population in opposition.

The great irony is that Kamala might have won had she done such a positioning on the prisoners surgery thing and undermined that ad. But surely they would have abandoned her, even though that thread is full of them attacking those who didn't want to support Genocide Kamala for crossing the line on another genocide.

uhm excuse me? 2024 election was the end of democracy as we know it.

For too many people, harm reduction isn't something they concern themselves with. Likely because they don't have to worry about being harmed. It's why some people think they can sit out an election, or how they "both sides", even now.

Holy shit. Way to write off Palestinians and Muslims who didn't want to vote for Genocide.
