the so-far quiet internal refugee surge

[solarbird]

I saw this internal … migration, refugee, whatever you’re going to call them … numbers estimate this morning and saved it to use in the next Fascism Watch, because, yeah, obviously.

But a few minutes ago I popped into my local neighbourhood buy-nothing group (these are all over the place, we give away stuff we don’t need but others might, and asks are welcome), and saw someone post an ASK for a dresser for their new roommate…

…who had fled Texas on short notice after the new round of anti-LGBT-in-general/anti-trans-in-particular laws. She’s trans.

This is already starting to hit home for the straights. Now let’s see if they decide to care.

Why would "they" care? This latest cruelty is part of their plan. "They" are not just straight but cis-gender. And not even just cis-gender but angry that the term cis-gender exists.

Republican straights don't care - or rather, they do, but it's part of their plan.

That's not all straights, not all cishets. And it's a damned good thing or we'd all be dead already.
