Okay this may seem pretty silly but I am actually very excited that he mentioned trans people in his speech, because it makes me think that they see progressing trans rights as a token gesture that will win them "good person" points with their voters https://twitter.com/manicsquirrel/status/1325253343334330368">https://twitter.com/manicsqui...

And let& #39;s be real, we& #39;re never going to be grantes our rights because we rightfully should be, I feel like the path to having rights is basically politicians thinking granting us rights will earn them favour amongst cis ppl who want us to have rights

Which is really depressing but hey, if we get rights we get rights, so if it works it works https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau"> the fact that he mentioned trans ppl in his speech is a hopeful sign IMO

Not much hope for the same thing happening in Australia anytime soon tho https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😓" title="Gesicht mit kaltem Schweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit kaltem Schweiß">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😓" title="Gesicht mit kaltem Schweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit kaltem Schweiß">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😓" title="Gesicht mit kaltem Schweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit kaltem Schweiß">

It& #39;s important we and our allies light a fire beneath them and keep the pressure up though

Fuck writing this thread made me depressed hhhhhh ;-;
