Republican lawmakers across the country have proposed an unprecedented number of anti-trans bills. Their all-out assault on trans people is an effort to erase them from society, and they’re. not slowing down anytime soon.
If anyone wonders , yes the blogging computer is down. I had to swap secondary drives, and the last time I updated the computers I ruined my good newest windows 10 USB drive, so I had to use a very old one that caused its own problems and after several hours of installing I had to reset windows itself downloading it off the internet from Microsoft so I can complete the install. So here are some videos on Christmas day for everyone while I fix my blogging computer. Happy whatever holiday you celebrate today for everyone, my hope for you is you have the greatest fun, the tastiest food, and are with people you enjoy if that is your thing. Hugs
For those who wonder why I get so upset over the right wing media / fox Tucker Carlson / libs of TT claiming that drag queens are groomers, teachers are sexualizing kids in their classrooms, and using violence to shut down drag shows. Even the crap about trans women using the bathroom is going to let “men” rape your little daughters”. Yet none of these people are talking about the people really sexually assaulting kids. I tend to go to the news stories and dogs that love gravy I have to stop doing that as some of the things these religious people are accused of doing by legal authorities, not twitter or Facebook but real law enforcement people, trigger me so bad it causes daytime problems and nightmares. And it is everyday. But no republican in office is addressing it. DeathSantis the Christian savior who forced through the don’t say gay bills outlawing LGBTQI+ in schools and the anti-history bills claiming talking about the reality of slavery is woke and CRT while making white kids sad, never says a word about these religious leaders. Never out laws them? But does give their leaders permission to go into the schools and start clubs. Setting up future kids to be abused. Hugs
Randy sent me this with the note that read “To be honest, I never know if something like this is an onion or not.” This is real grooming. This 8 or 9 year old (maybe I am really bad at age of people) boy has no clue of the context of what he is saying or really who these people are. He is repeating lines he has learned by rote, like the Orthodox Jewish kids who are forced to memorize the Torah all day without learning anything about the history of the area or who the people where, their politics, or the environment. Their education is to memorize the Torah and fill in the gaps with their imagination fueled by what the adults tell them. The boy’s father is Qanon, and notice the boy says they get their information off the dark web. Hugs

As the article says, this building hate is not happening in a vacuum. It is also not a natural happening phenomenon. It is being drive, the outrage stoked, the anger directed at trans, gays, drag queens by the republicans in office and the right wing media. Social media right wing influencers have found it is their way to fame. Matt Walsh has made a career out trans bashing and trans misinformation. Before he did that he was an unknown but shot to fame once he targeted the trans people. Libs of TT wouldn’t have any fame if they were not the darlings of the right by increasing the hate and outrage with lies against the LGBTQI+ especially the trans people. These people are not the real funders of this hate. That is the dark money republican / extremely far right think tanks funded by dark money. The same people trying to create a Theocracy, the same people trying to get rid of democracy, the same people trying to make the US another Russian style government. There is billionaire money behind this to drive the country into a regressive point in time and into a morality these people think really existed but never was true. Plus foreign countries also try to increase the hate and outrage to drive chaos in the US to weaken us as their competitors. We need every online person to do their best to fight this or there will be much more deaths. Hugs
Henry Berg-Brosseau, a prominent transgender rights advocate and the son of Kentucky Sen. Karen Berg has died at the age of 24. His death was confirmed by the Democratic lawmaker in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.
“Last Friday morning my son Henry died by suicide. He was a beloved son, brother, nephew, dog parent and friend,” she wrote. “The depth of his loss is yet to be absorbed.”
Berg-Brosseau, who was trans, served as the deputy press secretary for politics at the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization. Part of his job was to deal with the “hateful and vile anti-trans messaging being circulated around this country on a daily basis,” according to his mother.
“This hate building across the country weighed on him. In one of our last conversations, he wondered if he was safe walking down the street,” she wrote.
“The vitriol against trans people is not happening in a vacuum,” she added. “It has real-world implications for how transgender people view their place in the world and how they are treated as they just try to live their lives.”
Born in Louisville, Ky., the young activist began his short, yet impactful advocacy career as a student at Louisville Collegiate School, where he organized a protest against so-called LGBTQ “conversion therapy,” spoke to the Kentucky Senate Education Committee, and participated in other “local and national causes,” according to an online obit.

“Henry was first and foremost a fighter and an advocate. He was fighting for transgender rights as a teenager in Kentucky, far earlier than he should have had to,” HRC President Kelley Robinson said in a statement.
“Losing Henry is an unfathomable loss to the Human Rights Campaign family,” Robinson said, describing Berg-Brosseau as “a light” and a “deeply passionate, deeply engaged, and deeply caring” co-worker who will always be remembered for “his hunger for justice.”
The funeral is scheduled for Wednesday, 1 p.m., local time, in Louisville, Ky.
