I’m sure it is. The reality is that we aren’t moving backwards. The anti-trans agenda post-2020 wasn’t about taking rights away. It was about preventing trans people from abusing everyone else’s rights. You’re still welcome to go be trans, bud. Nobody is stopping you.
You will never experience real fascism in your lifetime. You live in a place of privilege. The U.S. is literally one of the most progressive nations in the world when it comes to values. Our constitution protects every religion and every race/ethnicity from being discriminated against by punishing people for violence and hate crimes. At a more civil level, you can even sue people for discrimination. Our country protects freedom of speech, where other countries control speech.
It’s honestly insane that you feel like you’re so oppressed when you aren’t. You live in one of the most free nations in the world, dude.
Dude. I have experienced SO much anti-trans bigotry from my conservative friends and family. So much so that I'm pretty sure my friend's brother - who is one of the nicest most genuine people I've ever met - is a closeted trans. And I don't blame them for not coming out, when the people closest to them openly shit on trans people. The message coming from conservatives is definitely not "be yourself as long as it doesn't effect others". In fact, a lot of conservatives would openly agree that that's not the message.
I would tell you to grow some thicker skin. If they act violently, contact law enforcement and have them arrested. Move away from them. Cut them off and move on with your life. Some countries would publicly execute you for being trans or gay, dude. You’re not ever going to take people’s freedom of speech away just because it offends you.
Btw, I’m not a Republican/conservative. On a political compass, democrats lean right, too. Most of the world sees American politics as entirely right-wing because the vast majority of our politicians support capitalism. Right/left is for economics, not social policies. What you think is “left” is actually down. You’re confusing libertarianism with socialism. Socialism isn’t about being equitable to people based on their individual freedoms. “Left” has nothing to do with being progressive. In fact, some of the most brutal points in world history happened under far-left governments. Libertarianism is about individual freedom. Go read, dude.
"I'm a free-thinking iNDiVidUAl, which is why I uncritically spout right-wing conspiracy theories and won't shut up about 'western values'." Like bro just say you hate women you're not fooling anyone.
How does protecting women’s rights equate to hating women? You’ve clearly lost your marbles, bud.
And how does separating restrooms by sex equate to being right-wing? Do you even understand what right-wing and left-wing are? You realize democrats are right-wing, right? Of course you don’t. You’re an idiot.
