More often than not, the Supreme Court has been an avenue to uphold discrimination. This ruling on trans rights is a Plessy vs Ferguson for our generation, and we should oppose it as such. In the interim I stand with my trans brothers and sisters without reservation.
Trans rights are human rights. The right believes they can win this legal and cultural war because of the left's general apathy on #transrights. Trans rights are not a frivolity; they are central to a coalition of the marginalized. History will judge us by our actions now.
This is a concerted war against a tiny minority of the population that deserves our protection, our respect, and our fiercest defense. Make no mistake -- it's an attempt to divide and conquer that we have to fight. Protect our #trans brothers and sisters and foil the plot.
This is an interim procedural ruling, but make no mistake, it's also a salvo in a sociopolitical effort to isolate and endanger some of the most vulnerable people in the United States. #transrights are human rights. And trans people should not be second-class citizens.
And this isn't about the justness of the US military. It's about who is considered full citizens and who isn't. It's about a concerted attack on a minority. And it's not the time to willfully ignore how militaristic our culture is when we consider the venue of this attack.
