Right now everyone needs to be fighting for the rights of immigrants and trans people, because those people are simply on the front lines of a battle that’s coming for you if they fall. This is how we need to think of the fight for human rights. It’s not a series of separate fights for this group’s rights or that group’s; it’s an ongoing battle for all of us, whose front lines are always shifting as the enemy spots opportunities.
As a trans woman fucking help us, this is a situation where you really are with us or against us. If you side with us then you show you give a shit about your own rights too. If you are against us (or are ambivalent about it) then you are casting all of our rights aside because of some culture war bullshit.
You will be next, so fucking act now or forever wish you choose to act.
Exactly. This is something everyone needs to care about. If you want to stand up for humanity, fight for trans rights.
Well said.
