I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.
Oto anon here in pretty neutral with the lily situation mainly cause I haven't watched the new episode yet ( I don't have a crunchyroll subscription) heres a japanese user about the lily situation goblinmajo on twitter I would have posted it earlier but I couldn't find it sorry about that
No worries! I forget that not everyone watches episodes the week they’re released, so I’m really sorry if I spoiled you with those details D:
Thank you for mentioning the twitter user

Still though, I think people have mixed views. Some Japanese people are saying she’s otokonoko, others are saying she’s trans 100% for sure so idk :\

I found a lost 1988 handbook from Coalitions for America, a right-wing think tank founded by the man who started The Heritage Foundation and ALEC. The document tells readers how to fight gay rights legislation and, as you’ve already guessed, it’s almost the exact blueprint used against trans people. I digitized it for the first time here: transreads.org/defeatgayrights/
Since the 1960s, the right has spent unprecedented time, effort, and cold hard cash to convince the public that treating oppressed people with basic dignity is unfair to them. We still see this 1988 "special privileges" argument in practice against trans people today.
Can someone's transition harm other people? Of course not. But the far-right wants you to believe so. Instead of spreading actual disease, this time we're spreading social contagion. Instead of divorce, we have "trans widows" and "broken families."
Remember when Trump said he would lower grocery prices on day one?
The result of getting rid of DEI is these people.
Let's connect some dots here
The Trump administration kidnaps and sends hundreds of people to a prison camp in El Salvador with no due process (meaning they never have to prove these people committed whatever offence the Admin claims)
The Administration sets the precedent that anyone, up to green card holder and naturalized citizens, will be subject to this for practicing free speech in a way the Administration doesn't like
The Administration puts out two Executive Orders, one which says they believe trans people and parents of trans children are all sexual offenders and another that anyone who criticizes Israel is a terrorist
The President puts out a statement, in public, saying he wants to find ways to send US citizens to those foreign prison camps
The Administration directly defies 2 different SCOTUS decisions that say anyone who is deported must get due process and (this one a unanimous decision) they must return a wrongfully deported man
The US President now tells the President of El Salvador, again in public, that they will need to expand their facilities because he wants to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvador very soon
We aren't even in boiling the frog territory any more, we're in a flash frier.
Like I hate sounding like a fucking tinfoil hat nutjob, but it's clear as day, right? He's saying exactly what he wants to do. And no one is doing anything about it. They're just saying "hey that's illegal!" and then letting it happen anyway.
