In a Q&A he said he'll reverse all 'anti trans' executive orders if he becomes president. He revealed again that he doesn't really know anything about the trans debate but implied he will still give campaigners everything they want twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1316913590620852224?s=20

If he’d been on the ballot in my home state, I actually might have gone through the effort of requesting an overseas ballot 😂

Excellent! The 2 party system must be destroyed! It was the open racism when he announced his run that made me go 👀 and the unashamed references to his mental health. Fingers crossed that there is a large backlash to the entitlement of certain parties who think they own the Black Vote.

When you look at Trump Vs Biden and think that human rights for a tiny proportion of the population is more worrying than the continuation of anti-woman and anti-science policies of Trump. When you think that it's fine to be on the same side as Tommy Robinson.

Trans people already have full human rights. They are trying to remove some rights from women.
If Tommy Robinson (or any other rightwinger) opposes fox-hunting (I’ve no idea if he does or not) then we agree on that. That wouldn’t make me support fox-hunting. Silly argument.

It's over, ladies!!!

Please don't ever think the right wing holds anything in your interest, from religion to fascism...you're always inferior in their eyes.

Let's celebrate sanity!

Trans people already have full human rights.

Unfortunately, unlike in the UK, in the US this isn’t the case.

If you’re trans or GNC or gay (or just perceived to be any of these things) you can still be (for example) legally evicted or denied housing on that basis alone in many states.

The recent SCOTUS case suggests this may no longer be true for employment (ground is now shakier if you fire someone for having transitioned with no other justification).

I do think, hopefully, once we can fix the actual uncontroversial issues in law that Trans people face (impossible with Trump) that we can then move to working out the details in the areas where there are conflict of rights with those of women (especially sport and prisons plus other places where women have no control over privacy).

I’m quite hopeful that with dem government there is at least a chance of progress on this with Trump gone. The job of feminists (especially feminist legal scholars’) is to work to make sure it’s done right. Protect trans rights without infringing on women’s.

For despairing US folks, Forum next week on amending the EA by women’s group feminists in struggle - t.co/oDAYpVjYe0

They’re on Twitter too.

Joe Biden is an old school bloke who probably finds the whole thing loopy but has wisely decided to step aside and let the ‘progressives’ take the lead and he’ll just rubber stamp it.

And there was me thinking he was the next US leader elected to be president for all Americans - but obviously he has wisely decided to step aside away from the same obligation for US women and girls - because they don’t count?

I think if you look closely at this issue, Joe is very involved - and really, can you have a speech about representing all Americans and omit to mention 50% of them?
