It’s not the moneyed class that’s worrying about trans people, it’s the religious worrying about losing their ability to tell people how to live.
Same as it was with gay rights 20 years ago.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The elite doesn't care, they only care about your money and they get them anyway. To them, you're not a man, a woman or gender fluid. You're money to get.
As Lewis Black put it, "they see us as meat with eyes."
It’s ultimately control. If you have a choice you want to make and someone can put into law that you’re not allowed to make that choice, that puts them in a position of power. It makes you feel powerless, stressed, and small. People are less likely to fight if they feel this way.
I've reread the title of this post five times now and the only thing I'm certain of is that I have no idea what it's trying to say.
It's just being used as a lever to pull so the uneducated vote for them and ignore their own interests.
