HRT or Hey as autocorrect would like really hard to put it, is "Hormonal Replacement Therapy". I'm not trans and I'm sure others would be wondering what it means. I love that someone mentioned Linux.

It's so depressing that we are loosing our freedoms to change to the gender we are inside alone with our freedoms of expression and for women, their reproductive rights. I can't believe the level of intrusive legislation happening. I just don't understand the end goal. I assume that the people making these stupid laws also live here and some must be queer like the rest of us in some way. So why do they insist in making the world harder to live in for the people they don't understand? 😞

Anyway, just some thoughts before going to sleep. I also do hope putin chokes on a pretzel while dropping without a parachute....no a actually with a parachute directly into the 🌞 sun. Would be the best morning πŸŒ…πŸŒ„ ever if it happened.

So why do they insist in making the world harder to live in for the people they don’t understand? 😞

It is quite simple. It is part of a culture war that the right wages using resources provided by the rich. The one and only purpose is to take attention away from the extreme inequalities that exist in our capitalist societies. What they fear most is class war, so they try everything to generate other conflicts for the populace to engage in. It is pretty much the same with other topics, like abortion. Raising these conflicts costs them absolutely nothing, and even if they are part of a group that is affected, the rules do not apply to them anyway, only to us normos.

What frightens me is that, understanding this, some on the left (or those that claim to be left) think that the focus should be solely on class war, to the point of completely ignoring human rights problems. In Germany, that'd be Sarah Wagenknecht and her stupid new party, who thinks people fighting for Trans rights are "lifestyle leftists". Needless to say, I could not disagree more.

Wait what Wagenknecht actually said that? I knew she was a terf and her stupid party voted against the new trans rights bill but I had never heard this before.
