As a transgender American, I wasn’t looking forward to the election, nor am I looking forward to what may follow. I pride myself on being a realist.
That said, a prominent 501(c)(4) political lobbying group for a foreign nation has infiltrated the Democratic Party, which is not news to anyone but something that weighs heavily on my mind for a great many reasons. Many elected democrats have accepted campaign contributions from this prominent 501(c)(4) political lobbying group for a foreign nation, and knowing how poorly that bodes for their political PR, they have become silent about it as a tactic in the hopes that many of my fellow Americans may forget.
Know this: as transgender Americans, we certainly haven’t forgotten, nor will we ever forget.
I encourage you not to forget this, as transgender lives depend on it. Much of the anti-transgender political propaganda was released by both conservatives and democrats alike and funded by outside interest groups such as the referenced prominent 501(c)(4) political lobbying group for a foreign nation to incite division in the hopes of distracting and weakening this country’s population’s unity. These lobbyists purposefully chose one of the most marginalized, impoverished, and small groups in this country to target so they could always find themselves in a stronger strategy position with a surplus of resources to defend itself as opposed to that of their target.
Sadly, most of America’s uneducated population took the bait and made transgender people like myself the scapegoat, it seems, for everything wrong with what’s going on with this country.
As transgender people, I need you to understand this: we have a vested interest in everyone in this country getting along.
Lobbyists working on behalf of foreign nations, on the other hand, have probable cause to run socially engineered propaganda smear campaigns to encourage division, distract the masses, and gain ground while infiltrating areas of power. You see, it’s never been the American transgender population’s goal to overthrow a country; however, this entire world has witnessed what has happened in Gaza and by whom. The money behind that inhumane destruction and deaths, it came from some extremely violent threat actors, and they’re not the American transgender population, which, if you are unaware, barely accounts for one percent of the entire United States population.
So you decide who the real threat actors to America are.
That said, as transgender Americans, we now will have to see just what shade of blue each of these elected Democrats reveals themselves to stand for truly, won’t we?
Will they show us that they vote to protect the interests of all citizens of this nation, or will their true shade of anti-American blue be revealed once in power to align with the interests of, well, you know who now, don’t you?
Time will tell.
Consider this: transgender people didn’t ship your tax dollars to a foreign nation to kill innocent people; transgender people didn’t take away your healthcare; transgender people are not a threat to this nation; however, there is one singular threat that has purposely infiltrated this government and socially engineered transgender hatred. If you think for one second that it hasn’t made its home within the Democratic Party, then I could see how you might also be so ignorant and easily manipulated as to believe everything that was negatively spun against the American transgender community by, again, an obvious foreign nation with a clear agenda that seeks to weaken systems of power and eventually overthrow this country.
Democratic socialism is what I am about.
We shall now see whose actions align with their words and also who’s perpetuating the agendas of foreign interests.
Your frustration with the state this country has now found itself in is not because of transgender people, but you’ve always been smart enough to understand that, now haven’t you?
Trans rights are human rights. That’s never been up for debate.
Until we see every democrat that has accepted money from a prominent 501(c)(4) political lobbying group for a foreign nation come out and vote in the interests of transgender people’s human rights, as opposed to attempting to further legislate everything from our bodies to where we can use the restroom, know that I call bullshit.
