She/her. Lesbian. Communist. Fuck DHS, nobody is illegal. Never Newsom, get a better guy. NY/NJ Gotham fan. Warhammer queer. Make stuff from wood sometimes. No AI. Looking for trans friends, especially fem/me, in Philadelphia! Hit me up!
If you were interested in trans people's existence, you'd be spending your energy working on defeating transphobes, not trying to convince trans people to vote for them.
Two years to the primary. We won't vote for Newsom. You're wasting your time having "good faith" convos with us.
Tick tock.
No. Bad analogy.
Pretend you're trans, or poor, or some other marginalized folk. It's 2028. You can vote for The Wolves, or you can vote for The Guy Who Will Let The Wolves Eat You.
Why should you vote for either one?
Aren't the Democrats who gave you that shitty choice the assholes?
Do better.
Cis people just fall over themselves to act like they know better than trans people about what's good for us, and like we should be grateful for their fucking wisdom.
"My vote for The Guy Who Will Throw You To The Wolves was in your best interest. You don't have to believe that, because I do. It's just too bad you didn't vote for him too, because he lost the election to The Wolves. That's your fault, you know."
"votes aren't support or endorsement"
My dude you are way off the deep end
Some of you will live.
If those are the two choices, I will not.
If you'd still vote for him, then clearly the world is better for you with him in charge than (for example) Vance.
It isn't for me.
Trans people are done voting for transphobes to protect cis people.
Stop shilling for transphobes if our votes matter to you.
(Your hypothetical bullshit is shilling; it's not a thought experiment when it involves people's real safety)
I'm well aware that's not *your* choice. It is mine.
Huh. That sounds like a you problem. Cuz I'm sure as fuck not voting for Newsom.
You've got two years and change to make sure he's not the candidate. You had three when we started telling you this. Gonna listen soon?
No. Bad analogy.

He is not even performing allyship.
And how am I supposed to choose between the wolves and the people who are willing to throw me to them?
It's only asymmetrical if your life isn't the one in question.
"Kamala Harris failed to convince voters that she was better than Donald Trump" is the real story here.
A good candidate? A progressive candidate? Who promised real improvements for people's lives? Who stood on principle? Who believed in full and equal human rights?
Would have wiped the floor with Trump.
They did the right thing. She didn't earn their votes.
The ONLY reason she got as many votes as she did* was that we DID understand the stakes. We were fully aware that the alternative was much worse.
That's not enough.
*a near-record share of eligible voters, turnout was very high last election.
Yea, childhood was pretty great. Bring back childhood.
They're just so fucking great. And every time I turn around, they're better again. ❤️
IF he gets on the ballot
THEN he will lose, like Harris and Clinton
BECAUSE their politics suck shit, so
YOU should get behind someone who actually stands for something
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
I think he just blockity-blocked everyone on that whole thread. The nerve of these trans women, I tellya
He definitely doesn't care if we live happy, healthy lives.
I take comments from people I follow or who follow me. Not from random cis white men who don't care if I live or die. Big improvement to my mental health.

I need to get better at taking outfit selfies. This was what I had time for today.
Yes! I believe in dressing for the weather you want. I just bought a cute pair of short shorts and a very small top yesterday.
We're just trying to make sure only queer kids need therapy after never seeing themselves in the world.
Truly. I feel less respected by this man than I was by the angry MAGA fuckhead who called me a cunt that one time
I think it's notable that this was preceded by decades (centuries) of anti-equality right-wing propaganda, which whipped itself into a froth in the early 2010s.
How would they respond if someone asked them in good faith whether they agreed with the principles of diversity, equality, and inclusion?
Some of us might be assholes, but very few of us suck shit like this guy
I love our community so fucking much, Heidi
