In a moment that should chill every American who values freedom and dignity, right-wing commentator Joey Mannarino recently called for all transgender people in the United States to be rounded up, detained, and studied. This grotesque suggestion isn’t just a toxic opinion—it’s a blueprint for state-sponsored persecution. Mannarino isn’t a fringe player screaming into the void....

Stay safe rule, my brothers, sisters and anything outside and in between.

No idea where else I could post this with maximum visibility.

    This shit is exactly what we’ve been warning for the last decade and every rightweiner and “”“”““centrist””“”" toned it down for years, saying stupid stuff like “nah they cant do that” YES THEY CAN IF THEY ALLOW THE AUTHORITARIANIST FASCIST GOVERNMENT TO GET AWAY WITH IT YOU DIPSHIT

    One time in ages someone who is allegedly trans do a massive shooting along with the 99.9% of white cisgender males who did it before. But the trans community is the one to blame now? Are you fucking serious? It doesn’t mean anything for you the SEVERAL TIMES it was done by a cisgender male? Who are you trying to fool? Its the most pathetic scapegoating I’ve seen in my entire life and the worst part is that the stupids will fall for it

    I remember when calling out a bigoted automatically made you a “sjw” and now I get why people were so defensive. With everyone against our pure existence is kinda hard to don’t be defensive and paranoid, specially if reincarnated Shittler and followers are round.

    The people who were mocking us when people was warning about bigoted politicians honestly doesn’t deserve nothing, not our attention, neither the oxygen they breath. But is thanks to they’re constant minimizing of fascism that we’re on this point. So I hope for a very pleasant revenge once we’re able to.

    But for MAGAs and adjacents I just hope for a very painful death. These dipshits can burn in hell.

    Thank god I don’t live on the US, but I still fear the moment when my country is gonna go backwards too.

    This sounds like the perfect time to throw trans people under a bus so Gavin Newsom can be elected. Solidarity only goes one way, right?

    I do want to point out that this isn’t a policy maker, just a vocal idiot.

    However, it is well understood that the fascists have no desire to include LGBTQ in their “in-group,” Given that the regime has already removed protections for Trans individuals, it’s a matter of time before RFK Jr refills the CDC and declares it a disease requiring extensive study.

    This means there is time to prepare. Immigrating is stupid hard. Moving is stupid hard. Find someone you trust that can hide you at a moments notice. Keep a pair of sunglasses on you that will cover your eyes well. Hair dye in black if you have light hair, bleach if it’s in a dark color. A change of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a backpack you’ve never worn or used. Edit: these don’t have to be new as in unused. In fact if it’s used, it will probably stand out less.

    Above all, remember this isn’t permanent. Fascism will break itself eventually, even if the rest of us are unable to.

      idk how feasible hiding someone in a fully authoritarian no-privacy regime would be, ig it’s best to hope that some measure of privacy would stay for a little while

      some thoughts:

      • it’s probably best to assume that any store you entered is going to be tracked with facial recognition nowadays
      • in any large brand store, probably also knowledge of who bought what is sold to data brokers
      • obviously anything you do online is known about and saved, at least unless you have a trustworthy vpn located in a sane country
      • basically anywhere you go in a car is saved in a searchable database
      • we have the technology to track the movements aerially of a whole town from one drone

      i feel like if you’re one person it would be hard to support another secret person without it being obvious, if the administration is willing to devote the resources to aggregate all of this data and such

      edit: here’s a recent video that talks about some of the (publicly known) tracking stuff in the US

        1. If you have to go into hiding, you go directly there.

        2. Once there you begin working on a means to get out of country. It needs to be done through VPN use something like mullvad.

        3. Do not leave hiding until it is time to leave the country.

        The reality is that if these guys go full Nazi, we have plenty of history to see what not to do if you can’t get out of country.

          Yeah, I just don’t think you could stay hidden for long because it could be pretty obvious that someone’s suddenly started buying twice as much food right as one of their friends disappears (both of which would be relatively easy to detect without individual attention)

      They try out such takes through the vocal idiots, but after it gets zero backlash (real backlash, like violent protests), it becomes the actual agenda of policy makers. That’s how authoritarianism and fascism is being built.

      So, trans and LGBTQ+ folks, please be very careful and consider leaving US if you can. And if you stay, organize with like-minded people and don’t be alone

      SHOES!!! ffs MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE !!!SHOES!!! along with the rest. Shoes are usually the one thing that people forget to change and will get you recognized, police know this, you should too

        Actually, that brings up other things.

        I would also suggest shoes that have been worn, not by you, and sized bigger or half size smaller than your current shoe.

        If you wear jewelry? Now you don’t.

        If you don’t wear jewelry? Get some magnetic nose/earrings/lip things.

        If you have tattoos, for the love of everything, cover them. Tattoos are probably easier to identify someone than their own face.

          Damn good plan, the rest too. I just know the cops here always want the colour/style/brand of shoe a perp wore, or as much as can be remembered.

            It’s an easy way to track people. Shoes leave a pattern. You can get the shoe size from the pattern in mud or snow etc. like fingerprints.

      I managed to get out of country recently, like a few weeks ago. I’m going to try and make it easier for others to immigrate, be a place for people to stay, if I do well enough maybe provide financial stability while they get on their feet. I did what I could in the US but for the foreseeable future my path is to be a landing pad for others looking to escape

    Meanwhile my country (Netherlands) is rejecting trans people from the US political asylum because ‘their most recent investigation into the political climate showed no signs of a hostile environment for trans people’. Which was NOVEMBER 2024 YEAH NO SHIT omfg start taking this seriously you fucking idiots

      Yes, 2023 in Nashville at a Christian school. This was a FTM who had previously attended that school. It was big news at the time. There are so many though, it’s easy to forget.

      When they start doing this its too late… If you have any digital traces of you being trans, public or accessible by police, they would obviously not let you leave once this starts being enacted. Combine that with the complete coverage of all urban areas in the US with facial recognition cameras under the guise of “traffic cams” and you have zero chance to evade them if they actually want to get you. You either leave now or never.

      I don’t believe MAGAists deserve a grave. Cremate them, then their ashes are actually useful for once. If they’re buried they take up space that could be used for housing, public utilities, and so on.

    The main reason the Republicans haven’t done this yet is logistics. Where they’d even house us, even temporarily, when they’re doing this to so many other groups at the same time? Unfortunately, this is a problem they will be able to solve in time. On top of that, they can more easily focus on terrorising us in the short term without needing to purge us like they one day hope to.
