Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order rolling back transgender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, reversing key measures introduced by Joe Biden.
The new order declares the federal government will recognize only two genders and bans agencies from promoting gender transitions.
Federal documents, prisons, and agencies must comply.
Trump also targeted environmental justice grants and diversity training programs.
Civil rights groups condemned the move, pledging legal challenges.
Don’t worry. According to
Russiansideological purists, this outcome is better for my trans son than if Kamala Harris had won.Now if you’ll pardon me, I have to get back to working on moving my family out of this shit-hole country.

Said nobody ever.
You must have slept through the year prior to the election or been offline. This place was swamped with people who, in the name of saying Palestine was THE issue shouted continuously about ‘bLuE mAgA’ and how people need to stay away from the democratic party, which when people do that you get this as the alternative.
in the name of saying Palestine was THE issue
Conveniently ignoring that Trump is also worse for that whole situation.
People were saying they weren’t willing to vote for the Democrats because they supported genocide. Say what you want about that, but it has nothing to do with trans people; literally everyone was perfectly aware they’d be worse off with a Trump victory.
It has to do with trans people because you don’t get to pick one candidate on this topic and another on that topic. By outright rejecting the democratic candidate these same people where willing to throw every minority and marginalized group in our own country under the bus for that one ideologically pure stance.
And it isn’t even actually ideologically pure, since the Republicans are 1000% worse on Israel and Palestine.
This is exactly what I don’t get about that whole pre-election anti-dem bombsrdment spam. I wonder how many of those accounts were Russian Musk troll bots.
EDIT oh there’s one right here in this thread. Sticking to their guns. And look at that tld.
Okay, and?
The statement in the parent comment
According to Russians ideological purists, this outcome is better for my trans son than if Kamala Harris had won.
is false, because nobody said that. Simple as that. You can take issue with the anti-Democrat stance, but nobody tried to imply it’d result in a better environment for trans people.
They where declared an acceptable sacrifice for purposes of making a point about Palestine. IE: if you allow democrat policies on Palestine to continue then we are willing to let the minorities here in America burn.
Okay are you being willfully obtuse or do you have a habit of ranting about things nobody asked? You moved the goalposts from the statement of the parent comment to your own beef with Gaza non-voters, which I frankly don’t care about. Either engage with the original idea or go do something else, but this is just ridiculous.
Can’t afford rice and bread, .01% hold more wealth than the rest combined, but persecuting trans people and renaming the Gulf of Mexico will fix those problems…… how?
What problems? None of this is affecting a billionaire negatively.
Shit like this is what gets people like Trump elected. It is also what protects the capital class from any consequences.
Well he did sign an executive order “addressing the cost of living crisis,” so rice and bread prices are all fixed now! If only Sleepy Joe thought to sign something! /s
Yeah but what about the price of eggs?
Went up to 10 dollars.
At least the people in Gaza are okay now.
people in Gaza*
* - Israeli settlers who are no longer being sanctioned by the US.
Pretty sure none of the residents of Gaza is okay right now, even though the bombing has temporarily paused.
That’s the point…Gaza protest voters are bigger suckers than trump voters…
Yeah. As dumb as the trump voters are, they at least got what they wanted. There’s a time and place for a protest vote, but it’s not when so much is on the line. Oh well, the protest voters and their families can go to the death camps knowing that they really stuck it to Kamala…
Congratulations on helping fascism win, you are equally culpable for everything that happens for the next 4 years as Biden was in Gaza. And I hope you lose just as much sleep over it.
MULTIPLE orders once you read past the language on merit based hiring.
Full text of each order here:
First, roll back 78 Biden orders on various protections:
INITIAL RESCISSIONS OF HARMFUL EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND ACTIONS
Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government
Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing
Reforming The Federal Hiring Process And Restoring Merit To Government Service
I’m gagging on the phrase “Defending Women” in the context of anything done by this rapist and his misogynist forced-birther cronies. Especially as a cynical “justification” for denying/destroying the lives of nonbinary, trans and intersex people.
(Look at Melania’s Defense Hat, she knows who women need protection from.)
