If Trump gets voted into office, I think that will be the least of anyone’s problems at this time. The good news is that an extra 4 years will get a lot of people through school
it doesn’t mean its not a priority, however, Trump will do what he needs to stay in power. He’ll empower bigots, he’s been blunt about wanting to be a dictator, and he’ll release criminals who work for him.
He’ll also likely give people guns who shouldn’t have them, and introduce measures which may lead to more mass shootings instead of taking them away.
The last time he was in office, he had a huge effect here in Australia and we’re now dealing with more anti-vax idiots than ever, and more racists.
So yeah. I’d argue that more dead kids is a bigger priority. I’d argue dead kids and trans people (since they’re probably more likely to be targeted), is a bigger concern. It’s actually crazy that such laws are needed in the first place honestly
By the way, I know it doesn’t say much about me, but I actually do a lot of rock climbing, and we actually have a huge LGBTIQ community (which is awesome)
Every single thing you listed will also affect trans people, in addition to the policies that exclusively target trans people.
It is completely unnecessary to minimize the harm caused by anti-trans policies in favor of talking about ‘more important’ problems. People can care about more than one thing at once, and if your right to exist in public was being eroded out from under you that is not the tune you’d be singing.
Let me be crystal clear, I’m not interested in hearing any more about why and what other issues you think are more important than trans youth being forced to attend schools where they can’t safely use the restroom. This is not an invitation to double down. I have had to help too many trans people fleeing conservative states to feel like trans youth who can’t even escape their situation is ‘the least of our problems.’
It is free to not come into a post about bathroom restrictions faced by trans youth and to tell a trans person that trans peoples’ rights to equal bathroom access are the least of our problems if Trump is re-elected.
If you view doing that as being on my side please reevaluate. Or at least stop bothering me about it.

I’m well aware that everyone deprioritizes the health and well-being of trans youth but thanks for the reminder I guess?

Sigh… What a silly argument this is, and it really just feels like you’re attacking me despite being on the same side for the sake of doing so.
Yeah, he plans to make everyone feel unsafe. No idea why you’d attack me for pointing out that his policies are so fucked it affects everyone.
