Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."
We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.

People who drive small cars in the US have balls of steel. (Here'a my car compared to the sort of pickups I see every day) (website is carsized.com)
The American method to car safety really is My Car is Bigger So It Wins The Crash.
And people drive these things like fucking maniacs. Every time I get behind the wheel I need to get into the headspace that literally everyone on the road is out to kill me. The lack of airbags combined with the fact everyone's driving fucking tanks at 60mph means I can kiss the world goodbye if I get into a wreck. If I disappear, assume I was plowed by Brad in his Ram 2500 while he was distracted stuffing a burger in his face.

Kon: Would you still love me if I was a worm?
Tim:
Tim: Well that depends, were you already a worm in this particular situation or did you get turned into one? How did you get turned into a worm? Was it magic? If it was magic I'd have to ask Zatanna or Constantine for help but im sure i could find a way to turn you back.
Kon: I-
Tim: Unless of course you don't wanna turn back. Maybe you just want to stay a worm for the rest of your life. I mean i don't know why you would but I'd still respect your decision
Tim: Would you even know you're a worm? Would you still have your memories from before you were one or would your mind also change into that of a worm? Hey how unethical would it be to date a worm anyway?
Kon: I am deeply in love with you.

The fight against Trumps Transphobic EO has already started.
A transgender woman who is in a federal women's prison has sued the Trump administration over the “two sexes” executive order, saying it will require her to be housed in a men’s prison, putting her in danger and violating her constitutional rights.
The woman, identified by the pseudonym Maria Moe, filed the suit Sunday in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts. It names Donald Trump as a defendant, along with Acting Attorney General James R. McHenry III and William W. Lothrop, the acting director of the Bureau of Prisons. She is represented by GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and the law firm of Lowenstein Sandler.

February 1, 2025 - More than 1.5 million people took to the streets across Argentina in the National Antifascist and Antiracist Pride March against the far-right "libertarian" government of Javier Milei.
The LGBTQ+ community, unions, left-wing parties, and social movements all joined together for the mobilization after Milei gave a speech at the WEF meeting in Davos that was incredibly homophobic and transphobic, attacked feminism and environmentalism, and praised fascist leaders like Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Viktor Orbán, and Giorgia Meloni.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday told hospitals that they would be violating state law if they stop offering gender-affirming care for people under age 19 in response to an executive order from President Donald Trump aimed at curtailing federal funding for such treatments.
In a letter, James, a Democrat, told health care facilities that refusing to provide the treatments would violate New York’s anti-discrimination laws.
“Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws,” her letter reads.
Everyone say thank you to NY Attorney General Letitia James!!!

Seeing a lot of trans faux-progressives talking about breaking the law (in relation to diy hrt) like it will instantly end your life and you will never get away with it, and its very irritating to me because if you have read some queer history you know people have lived long, fulfilling lives outside the bounds of the law in our community since we started banding together. It was at one point just outright illegal to even be gay or trans in public and yet we held rallies and shows and events and we still went to the bars and we demanded our dignity. Do not let the law strip you of what you consider important, especially if it's transition
