Although I know that most posters here already know this, I'll keep saying it - anybody who thinks that Trump 2.0 isn't going to go after LGBTQ rights is fooling themselves. They'll start with transgenders because they are the most disliked and vulnerable and easy target, but it will gradually move to a broader attack on the entire community.

Oh yea-it will be way to easy to move that way-so they will
 

Trump repeals rule allowing transgender troops to serve in military​

The executive order clears the way for a new ban.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday night that repeals a provision allowing transgender troops to serve in the military, part of a wide-ranging effort to end Biden-era policies his first day in office.

Trump issued a ban during his first administration that prevented transgender troops from serving, which former President Joe Biden eliminated. While Trump did not institute a new ban, the repeal of the Biden-era executive order clears the way for one.

And he's done a lot more than just ban transgenders from the military. Today marked the beginning of a broad attack on the very notion that transgender identity even exists (or should exist) legally and within the federal government. Which is pretty much what most people here thought would happen, but that doesn't make it any less disturbing.

Yep. This admin essentially wants to remove the transgender community from public life. It's abhorrent and shameful.
 

Their cruelty will not stop with easily punched down upon demographics. Cruelty doesn't exhaust, it simply finds new targets, because the insecurity driving the cruelty rarely gets addressed. Certainly, said insecurity will not get addressed with this admin.

Mind you, Stephen Miller and Heritage ghouls are largely doing much of this because of a combo of anti-social personality disorder and/or because other kids didn't like them (some are simply brainwashed by religion).

Folks, be kind to kids. Every Stephen Miller or Elon Musk had an opportunity to be positive impact, as oppose to deleterious, on society, yet some inflection point was missed or mishandled.
 
Lots of Hitler comparisons coming from the left. Not sure that is the best strategy given the fallout from the election.

Lots of fascist shit coming from the right. Not sure that's the best thing given it's fascist shit.

And if you want to talk Elon Musk doing Nazi salutes there's a thread for that.

 
When Israel denies it you have to kind of hit pause on Elon giving the nazi salute don't you?

Didn't the board moderator make a related post in this thread? Although I agree it should have its on thread. You seem to be doing a lot of moderating on this thread. Maybe you should apply for the job if they add another one.

Rogan and Bibi are no character witnesses.

I may be incorrect, but I think there is another thread that is rather heavily focused on Elon Musk. Perhaps this thread could stay focused on the Trump Administration's (mis)treatment of Trans folks and LGBT folks and discussions about whether Elon made a Nazi salute could continue to occur there.
