“But my senator is a Republican”

Gamergate was like 200 people. And now look where we are. “A lot of emails” on a topic to congressional staffers is like, 20. Are politicians spineless idiots? Yes. Use that to your advantage! Is this the only thing you can be doing? No! But it can be the first.

The internet has completely short circuited our sense of scale. The number of people required to move almost any needle is remarkably low. Your involvement in local causes, political pressure WILL have an impact.

Ok, get out there.

i don't like to sound like a conspiracy theorist but lately i've been seeing some takes on people potentially detransitioning that feel primed to drive wedges in solidarity. like i keep seeing stuff that very subtly seems to be based on the idea that people who detransition medically and/or legally for safety reasons in the future are inherently untrustworthy, duplicitous, and actively likely to throw other trans people under the bus and assimilate into cisnormativity on purpose. and i feel pretty shaky about that because i think a LOT of people in the usa are about to medically and/or legally detransition while still being trans. like distrusting trans people who aren't putting ourselves on the legal registry of trans people (or are actively taking ourselves off that registry) in the next few years feels on par with not trusting gay people who hide their relationships at work in 1995. like i think we should all get really cool with closeted people really fast again because as the stakes for being recognized as [x identity] by the state go up, the number of people who can afford to identify themselves to the state as [x identity] goes down. and the state frequently is tied into other structures of power in such a way that we need to make lifestyle changes to hide that identity trait from related authority figures (doctors, psychiatrists, employers).

It's cynically ironic how trans people are on the one hand expected to trace their transness back to their childhood in order to be taken seriously, while we're on the other hand repeatedly told that children are supposedly "too young" to think about such matters.
