Have you reached out to your elected official yet about the ongoing war on #trans people?
If not, it's time you did.
Here's a link to the Congress, where you can find out your local congressperson's contact details.
https://www.house.gov/representatives
And here's the same for the Senate:
https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm
Even if you didn't vote for them, WRITE TO THEM. CALL THEM.
Even if you're not #trans, #nonbinary or #Genderqueer, go ahead and #BeAnAlly.
Seriously. BE A FUCKING ALLY.
#USPol requires EVERYONE to play their part.

WHITE SUPREMACISTS FEAR GENDER NON-CONFORMITY
1/2
The idea underlying white male supremacy is at least 6000 years old
Class hierarchy - which arose with the city state - came out of earlier patriarchal notions of women's "natural" inferiority
The ancients held gender nonconformity to be "womanly", hence "weak"
This "womanly, hence weak" label became attached to other out-groups as politically required
origins of misogyny

Coalition's misogyny stems from a history of female oppression
The key to ending the misogynistic attitudes of our governing politicians may be in examining the history of the Western patriarchy.Independent Australia

The Excellence of Kamala Harris Is Hiding in Plain Sight
“For too many Americans, the idea that nonwhites and women actually got their jobs because of their qualifications, experience and talents is hard to believe. Maybe that’s because for most of American history, white men were the only people considered for high-level jobs in what amounted to affirmative action for them.”

We’ve heard that Republicans cheated in polls in 2022 to create a “red wave” narrative and deceive Dems.
That’s true, and there’s even a deeper issue. When we focus on polls too much, even correct polls, it leads to passiveness.
That’s a lamppost problem—
polls can’t measure some important things. For example, polls don’t measure persuasion, which happens over months or longer.
