This is unambiguously a good outcome, but this is attributable to the people that have been fighting to get trans rights mainstreamed for years, not the democrats.

They aren’t the same, they have the same goals and work together to achieve those goals.

I feel like the dems are generally ahead of republicans on these kinds of issues, but still way slower to come around than their base or even the general public. I have no sources, I’m just remembering Obama evolving to suddenly not be explicitly homophobic.

This. For right now dems are coasting by pretending to care about progressive issues because ultimately they have no skin in that game. When push comes to shove they’ll throw whoever they can under the bus and align with the right to cover their asses.

Remember: it’s easy to be an accelerationist when you’re not the one being accelerated on.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
