even us cis people have to stand with the lgbtqia. If not for ethics and morals alone, at the very least cause they go after athletic women all the time. Or women with facial hair. Women who just don’t dress up feminine.
This article proves the point even more.
They don’t care what the facts are.
Not that it’s acceptable to target trans. But just a reminder to people, if they target trans , you can be targeted too. Don’t think you are safe. Don’t think this isn’t your concern.
No one is safe when these discriminatory practices are allowed to exist.
I see it as a battle for human rights. Some people have been pushed into the front lines of the battle, but the fascists have us all in their sights. Are the rest of us going to leave them there to fight alone, hoping they win and all our rights stay intact, or are we going to stand and fight with them? If the front line falls the fascists won’t stop there. We really are all in this together.
It’s not just to be an ally either, it’s because these hateful laws will inevitably be twisted to target YOU too. Look at the story of the dad who took his two girls into the women’s bathroom and had the bathroom gender police call the real police on him. Cisgender people are not safe from these laws either. Once queer people are gone they’ll look for the next group and it’ll be amongst cisgender people and they’ll use the anti-LGBTQ laws to do so.
I’m a straight man, but I’ve ALWAYS been pro-gay, because so many of my friends have been gay over the years. I can’t choose my sexuality, and I never assumed they could either. Now I have VERY close family members who are gay, and they mean literally EVERYTHING to me. I would do anything to protect them. ANYTHING.
So never assume that a straight person isn’t truly committed to the LGBTQIA+ cause. We have gay folks we truly love with our entire being, too, whom we would kill and die to protect.
