      They don’t want trans people to exist as anything but a porn category, so they treat us as just that, a profanity. It’d be funny because of how pathetic it is, but real people are dying because of this.

        I hear you. Have you read Project 25? They have plans to take it to the extreme if Trump wins.

          it leads down a pretty dark rabbit whole of general Federalist Society plans for an overtly conservative autocratic regime, and it’s terrifyingly plausible if they consolidate enough power and funding. and that’s all pretty easy with the support of foreign oligarchs that need the US to be fully involved in its own libertarian implosion, so it can turn a blind eye to international war crimes.

          i long for the times when conspiracy theories used to be fun spooky stories about cryptids wandering the wilds, and aliens doing creepy stuff in cornfields to mess with farmers
