I think it is time for me to remind everyone, again…
Trans people can no longer get passports.
President Musk is a personally motivated transphobe.
Trans people are the first line in this iteration of the poem. We have already been abandoned by the Democratic party.
The Democratic party has no institutional power at the moment. Stop assessing blame to them and focus in who is allied and able to help.
Blaming the Democratic Party is completely useless, as useless as you believe them to be. In part they are captured, and in part they are literally in the jaws of a fascist government.
And you’re still blaming them for this moment. They might end up at GITMO.
Even if they have no institutional power, there are other groups the Democratic party is still talking about, still trying to take action on.
They aren’t even pretending to care about trans people any more.
Dems have no institutional power when they are the majority. They are ineffective in everything they do. And theyve enabled the current fascists in power.
Make space for trans people in your lives.
Be prepared to help them shelter in place if necessary.
Instead of the Underground Railroad, this generation may have the Trans National Pipeline.
Sigh…
Even this poem minimizes the fact that the Nazis came after LGBTQ+ folks first.
