Who could have seen this coming?
Oh, right. Everyone.
I'm a trans woman living abroad. I'm in the middle of reviving my documents from my birth country because my US passport is about to expire but I can't renew it. It has caused a ton of stress as you'd Imagine. I'm grateful I have a second country to fall back on, but a lot of people in the same position don't, and it's absolutely terrifying and a human rights violation.
All just to say, on behalf of the trans community, choke on a gangrenous dick Caitlyn
Bonus: Kudos to my Central American birth country for understanding and being massively helpful after 30 years away
I don't understand her argument. She says it's a safety factor to have the correct gender marker on her passport. What countries is she going to where changing your gender is a safety concern? Why would you go to such countries????
TSA or ICE or the police see agab on your ID they may beat you or abduct you, etc.
Jenner noted that the policy could affect her ability to vote, adding that she did not believe the policy was "really thought out, what this means."
Oh, no, it was thought out: demonize and literally cast out trans people, removing their ability to work, move away, or be vocal in support of themselves. Then you move them into camps, either for "their protection" or to "protect society from them".
My favorite part is:
"I don't blame President Trump. I love him."
Their supreme leader can do not wrong.
Totally not a cult, though.
Hi Caitlyn! I do believe your supreme leader wants people like you to vanish, by shutting up, by being invisible or why not by dying.
I would normally say don't submit to any of that, you have our support. But in your case out of loyalty, maybe you should shut up, find a spot to lay low, and become invisible. You see I'm much nicer to you than him: I do NOT wish you to die!
"Surely this leopard won't eat MY face?"
"I haven't heard from him," she said. "He's kind of busy right now. My gender marker is not big on the issue. OK. So I get that, and I'm not blaming him whatsoever. I love the guy, and I love what he's doing."
Take a stance or STFU. If you love it, then STFU and take it like a beta. It's what you want.
I love the guy, and I love what he’s doing.
What exactly is it she thinks Trump is doing so well? Trump genuinely has done nothing good, right?
Trump genuinely has done nothing good, right?
Everything he's done has been good . . . for the rich. Overwhelmingly cut taxes for the top? Good for the rich.
Overwhelmingly print money? Good for the rich.
Decimate the communities of the poor? Good for the rich.
Hike up gas prices? Good for the rich.
Scapegoat a vulnerable population when people were starting to realize how caustic the Epstein class is? Good for the rich.
Killing off infrastructure and mass-transit projects? Good for the rich.
Spying on and setting up a massive database on the general population? Good for the rich.
Leaking all the government's personally identifiable information on its population to Musk via DOGE? Good for the rich.
*Good for the rich in the short term
Leaking all the government's personally identifiable information on its population to Musk via DOGE? Good for the rich.
With DOGE, everybody charged with securing these buildings and agencies just stood aside, and let these arrogant, disrespectful, UNSANCTIONED children, led and paid by a foreign Oligarch, plunder every bit of our data, and dismantle every regulatory agency that was investigating his companies. He went in with many investigations and lawsuits, and came out with none, and the combined governmental data of every single American citizen. It was nothing less than 21st Century PIRACY.
The first DOGE team that tried to breach a Federal Agency should have been gunned down in the lobby. That would have solved a whole lot of problems right there. Nothing in the aftermath of that action could compare with the irreparable damage DOGE did to this country. And on the heels of their success have been many more grifters, like Palantir, Lewandowski's Syndicate, the crypto scammers, the poly market riggers, the stock market manipulators, and more.
We've seen how MAGA falls apart at the slightest resistance. They NEVER think past the first step. A few bullets right up front, followed by a long, loud, noisy trial about the rights of foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs and the Epstein Predatory Class to exploit the rest of us for everything in our lives would have been productive by stopping their Blitzkreig right up front.
If it's one thing we've learned from these losers (by being even bigger losers), is that we should always call their bluff, because they are ALWAYS bluffing.
We may have lost in the past, but we have intelligence and morality, something they do not possess, respect, or even understand. We can learn and improve, they can't. They are virtuosically incompetent, and they'll stay stupid, and that's our competitive edge.
So it's time that we learned from our mistakes, pledge to not repeat them, form a coherent plan, and take back the planet from the MAGA Apes.
At least something positive came out of it
I am shocked at how much I don't care about this person's problems.
The leopard obesity epidemic is reaching epic proportions
Bruh that leopard should be on my 600 pound life
I can't get behind that, I got my own problems. You take on the leopard obesity problem, see where that gets you. I think we can all predict.
Stupid bitch.
"Except MEEEEE!!"
""I don't blame President Trump. I love him."
Ooookeyyy
Stupid bitch.
I was going to come up with something less crass to say, but this stupid bitch doesn't deserve it.
Caitlyn Jenner is a total car crash.
wait, was she a trump supporter?
Still is.
True story: Bruce Jenner was an active race car driver in the 90s. The series he participated in was the Trans Am series.
I understand that your comment relies on the understanding that Caitlyn Jenner's deadname is Bruce Jenner, that the joke is that she participated in a racing series that's nearly "Am Trans", and that she went by Bruce when she was actively racing.
To avoid deadnaming, I'd still ask that you use language like "Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner) was [...]" and "The series she participated in [...]" (or something similar). I totally get that none of your comment was meant as transphobia; I even used to think that "historical deadnaming" was the best way to write to avoid confusion, so I sympathize. I eventually realized, though, as e.g. on Wikipedia's article for Elliot Page, that using their real gender and their chosen name historically is not confusing and is just more accurate to how being transgender actually works – i.e. that it's not a decision somebody makes one day.
I don't think it's severe enough to rub up against Lemmy.World Terms of Service Rule 1.2 as "discrimination against queer groups", so this is just a polite request and hopefully food for thought.
LOL. Lemmy... downvoted for facts.
Downvoted for deadnaming someone. It'd be a decent joke otherwise.
Serious question here. If someone was well known as a previous name and sex, is it still deadnaming to refer to them that was in a historical context? They’re a perfect example here. If looking for historical information on their racing history and articles, you have to refer to them as Bruce.
IMO, best practice is still to use the current name/pronouns. I think it's OK to say something like "Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce" if clarity is needed and then proceed with current name going forward. In this instance, everyone knew who we were talking about so it was unnecessary.
They didn't. Jenner went by Bruce and their gender identity was male at the time.
Still best practice to use current name unless the person has specified otherwise.
There are plenty of recent pictures of her at Mar-a-lago. She's not just a supporter, she's someone that has been to his parties
