Scapegoating a woman, and leaning into racism. Both are core Trump behaviors.

I think it’s better to understand this as an appeal to Trump and Senate Republicans. In both cases, the argument is the same: scapegoating me won’t work.

Not once have trans people been asked directly or been able to speak without bias from any large public figure with the interest of education and not political scapegoating.
It is not our fault that we are constantly spoken over by cis people in order to sensationalize our existence.

the “trans tipping point” was an opportunity to educate widely on trans existence, HRT and its functions, the nature of transness in children and adults, and so on. instead, we...what? what happened, exactly?
biggest blackpill of the past few years for me was realizing that all the cis normie progressives fell for the misinformation campaign instantly. they didn't even realize it was happening because they had never been exposed to any other framing on trans issues

Funny how trans community is constantly labelled a danger to society, while cis men accused of predatory behaviour make headlines day after day.
Stop scapegoating trans people.
Predatory behaviour is clearly a cis male problem. Hold individuals accountable instead of demonising an entire minority.

What I've found to work best is teaching people about how trans people's struggles connect to their own. Everyone is struggling. When they realize how scapegoating works, it can help to build solidarity and redirect their focus to the real source of their problems—capitalism
Just---what will make you care? If it isn't women's sports orgs being attacked while having 0 trans woman athletes, if it isn't the push to inspect children's genitals, if it isn't all the evidence of how much we're harmed and assaulted and denied participation in society, WHAT WILL MAKE YOU CARE?

That's so insanely unfair it feels like some trans women want in on the fun of scapegoating trans women. Why not right?

Senior management and clinicians at CUH have repeatedly pleaded for support.
And how does the Taoiseach react? By misleading the Dáil, scapegoating hospital management and HSE staff, and claiming he’s been ‘unfairly embroiled.’
That is not leadership.
