The GOP Has a Master Plan to Criminalize Being Trans

[Ivy]

This is probably no surprise to anybody.  

These people have plans, and they are serious.  And for us it's a literal matter of our existence.

I want to be like - Naw, they wouldn't really do that.  But the thing is they would, and will if they get the chance.  We only need to look at what is happening in "red states" already, and bills being introduced in congress.

Yeah, I'm "woke."  This stuff will keep you up at night.

Every political faction has some kind of agenda for the next five to 10 years. None of it is what it seems. The real point of a document like this is a blueprint for control. Trans people are just the beginning, but this is the means by which they get the folks on the right who normally support Liberty to approve of all kinds of censorship.  Focusing on this issue has done a remarkable job of derailing any attempt to defang the growing globalist snake. Nothing better for distraction than an artificial Boogeyman.

 

And it has nothing to do with democracy, because modern "liberal democracy" is just a cover for socialism. And socialism is just a cover for executive control. Both parties are trying for the same thing, just from different angles. They are pieces of a whole.

Yes! 👍

Good grief! I guess it's not freedom of what USA is about. It's going after privilege to a certain standard.

Except it's always been about going after privilege. Slavery made being a millionaire easy—if you were white. "The GOP Has a Master Plan to Criminalize Being Trans"—it's still their dream, but the the black-people-back- into-slavery thing kinda didn't work out.

I believe that we have been engineered.  We are being used as a wedge and a sideshow to distract and divide the common people.  And it has been working.  It has gotten the Republican "leadership" to focus on the trans issue instead of what conservative constituents actually care about - stuff like the economy and inflation.  It has gotten well-meaning liberal folks to believe that national sovereignty, a free market, and true liberty are bad.  It has created the entire conservative/liberal dichotomy to keep folks busy.  That's because the economy and inflation, surveillance and control are planned facets of what's coming.  It is kind of hard to crash a currency and manipulate a society if people are paying attention. It is hard to get people to surrender cultural heritage, national sovereignty, personal liberty, and even to hate themselves for imaginary faults without filling them with fear first. 

 

We can be outraged at stuff like the Republican document...but the outrage isn't worth much if folks aren't outraged at what is behind it all.  Rejecting all trust in the state, rejecting all reliance on the state, and refusing to speak well of the state which seeks control over us - these things are the first step in reducing its power.  At this stage, it still relies on the illusion of needing and possessing our consent.  Even if unsuccessful, I believe that revoking consent is a moral imperative.

I don't think that it's only "conservatives" that care about these things.  They certainly affect me, and I hardly consider myself a "conservative" these days.

And I don't see how eradicating trans folks is going to help with that at all.

I want to believe this could never happen here.  I really do.  But I'm beginning to think it might, or even will.

 

I will not "de-transition" but I'm beginning to feel doomed.

I suppose that is what they're going for, wanting us to just give up hope.

It may be too late for the US. 

 

I really want to believe it could not happen here in Canada.  But right now, this weekend, our Conservative party is holding their policy convention.  I await with trepidation what comes out of it, because their policy-makers are taking their plays from the same sources.  I hope and pray that such policies will be found more unconstitutional here by a less corruptible Supreme Court, but the extremists are undoubtedly plotting ways to corrupt the court.

 

They can pass all the laws they will, but I will not renounce who I am.  I will not use men's bathrooms.  I will not wear men's clothes.  I will fight back in any way I can.
