ACT IN SOLIDARITY. DON'T FORGET THE COMMON ENEMY.

After Trump's recent speech, I feel the need to call for solidarity within the LGBT community. I'm cross-posting in hopes of reaching as many people as possible.

If anyone in subs not related to trans issues and who read this aren't already advocates for trans rights, I'll start with two points. 1) Trans people have always been on the front lines of riots, protests, etc for gay rights. There was no drama about it until some recent discourse that makes some gay/ lesbian/bi people put off. Most trans people are not in the group you are so annoyed with. And even if they are, I hope you don't want them to be part of a conservative genocide of LGBT people. 2) Those who want to take down trans people almost always also want to take down gay people as well. This is just a foot in the door. Trump's references to a "nuclear family" already show the beginning of this segue. So even if you don't care so much about trans rights, please understand that all gay and bi people are next in line under a conservative regime.

We need to stand strong together. The current threat to our rights is stronger than it has been for the last ~30 years. The alt-right is trying to take over, eradicate trans people, and take away all rights from gay people in general. They won't stop until sodomy laws come back, gay marriage is illegal, abortion is illegal, trans healthcare is illegal (at all ages), and even gender non-conformity is illegal. Anyone who doesn't conform to a 1950's stepford version of gender and relationships is at risk.

This is a matter of freedom, autonomy, and basic human rights for the entire LGBT community. I urge is all to come together and vote for any and all candidates who support our right to exist without direct threat to our rights.
