“You’ll be a republican when you’re older when you see your take home pay compared to the salary that was advertised!” Actually no it’s making me double down on the fact that billionaires need more taxes. Would I like to pay less? Of course! But I don’t see the $10k of taxes leave my paycheck (in my state with NO income tax) and think “well, time to defund the EPA and IRS!” I’m just angry that the people who should be paying their share are not.
#my best friend makes the same as I do in our home state and his take home pay goes down $22k#but noooo there’s no money for transit or healthcare#me things

I live in a red state and I’m fucking terrified. worse news! amazing!
Trans people have been warning for years that the bans on transition care for young trans people was never going to be the end of it.
Reactionaries used y'all's fear and ignorance around trans children as a wedge to get in and justify banning transition related care for all trans people of any age. This was always the goal, to morally (and legally) mandate trans people out of existence.
And y'all fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Y'all ignored the decades of research proving transition care is safe and effective for trans people of all ages, including trans children, and believed the propaganda claiming doctors were "experimenting" on trans children, because oh this thing is new and scary to me so we gotta stop it until we figure this whole thing out! Fuck you.
I don't want to hear another terf or transphobe justify their "opposition" transition care by saying "oh well I have no problem with adults doing what they want I just don't ~~~experiments~~~ on kids" fuck you, you knew exactly where this was going the whole time don't play dumb. I'm tired of this shit.
Trans people knew it was going to happen and reactionary fascists knew it was going to happen, so what's your excuse?
Happy fucking Pride Month.
#so it's#the children are not allowed to benefit from COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE life changing puberty blockers#the AMAZING technology we have access to here they do NOT have access to bc some guy decided he didn't like it#you know the most easily reversible thing in the universe#where you can just stop taking them and experience puberty as would have happened without them#BUT NOOOO#and OF COURSE. OF COURSE they are also punishing POOR PEOPLE#the idea of course is just to make everything less and less accessible bc they dont' want anyone to be able to transition#but of course it's going to disproportionately affect poor people#and of course this is from the 'how dare the degenerate leeches (worse even than regular leeeches who I already hate) take my money#for EVIL TRANS HEALTHCARE?? I didn't want to help them at all!!! but to SIN??? god I was angry enough at helping them not starve'#current events#is everyone appropriately terrified???? please???#*opens facebook to my trans veteran FB-friend talking about how much she loves confederate flags* hm
