and more importantly: a response to all the cis people responding to the way that trans people are responding to said Democrats’ responses

Hi! The Lemmy elections are coming up soon to vote on the Supreme Lemmy Mod. I'm running!

Part of my plan to make Lemmy a better place is to specifically ban you from using Lemmy.

I know that may not be a policy you're a fan of, however, my opponent is promising to ban you AND anyone with 5 letters in their username.

Obviously, I'm the better choice to vote for, since I'll only ban you permanently once. My opponent, will ban you permanently twice.

What a fun hypothetical you just made, now do a real one with the two people who have the capability to win the senate seat in Texas where you look at detailed policy distinctions across every issue that will affect real humans

The article and its surrounding discussion as well as your hypothetical is about something real.

Seems like you don't like my hypothetical because you don't believe trans people are real humans. This is wrong.

Talarico would still be a safer choice for trans people than Ken Paxton but totally, saying people should not vote for Talarico is the choice that doesnt play with the lives of real-life trans people like we dont matter

Yet we can't be bothered to address what the author said.
