AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>I'm often leery of sharing stories like this because the point isn't, and cannot be, that anti-trans policies and the dehumanization of trans people in our society is bad, because it also affects cis people, particularly women, in horrifyingly negative ways. One of the primary reasons we've facing down a politically empowered fascist Trump regime, is that Americans as a society have already accepted the idea that some people don't matter, and aren't human enough for the full spectrum of human rights; even if the folks making those arguments rarely admit what they're actually arguing for in a big picture sense. As in the case of Muslims, migrants, student protestors and women who want to control their own bodies, our society's casual disregard for the human and civil rights of trans people has acted as a permission gate for the Trump regime's larger project to strip the rights of anyone they don't like, or who dares to speak out in dissent.</p><p>Despite my reservations about centering cis experiences when talking about the anti-trans pogrom however, the fact is that cis women *are* negatively affected by the war on trans existences in both a micro and macro sense; whether it's hate-fueled transinvestigators invading women's bathrooms to "protect women," or the way anti-trans propaganda serves as a stepping stone for larger patriarchal efforts to possess women's bodies, this is a very real consequence of a normalized anti-trans pogrom that dehumanizes, otherizes, and criminalizes trans people (particularly trans women.) Furthermore, as the story of Dani Davis, a Florida woman fired by Walmart for being tall enough to trigger abusive behavior from a raging transphobe, demonstrates - the reality is that a society that isn't prepared to stand up for the human rights of trans people, isn't likely to stand up for the human rights of women, or workers, either. </p><p>For more on that, let's turn to this short (14 minute) video by Mike Figueredo from THR:</p><p>The Humanist Report: Walmart Fires Cis Employee *BECAUSE* She Was Harassed by Transphobic Customer in Bathroom</p><p>"A Walmart employee named Dani Davis was accosted and threatened by a transphobic customer during her shift, and she was subsequently fired because of it. The customer followed her into the bathroom and accused her of being a man and yelled transphobic slurs at her. Days after she reported the incident to her supervisor, she was fired because she supposedly posed a “security risk” to others in the store. In this video we’ll talk about this disturbing story and discuss how transphobia harms ALL women; both trans and cis alike."</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nauz7001Q0U" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=nauz7001Q0</span><span class="invisible">U</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiTransPogrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiTransPogrom</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Walmart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Walmart</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LaborRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DaniDavis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DaniDavis</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Collaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Collaboration</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Patriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CultureWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CultureWar</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a></p>

She was the only person in the bathroom at the Lake City, Florida, store.</p><p>Davis, who is not transgender, said she feared the man thought she was trans because she is 6-foot-4. She hid in the bathroom until the man left and told her supervisor what had happened.</p><p>A week later, Walmart fired her.</p><p>But when she heard angry threats echo in the Walmart bathroom where she sat alone, Davis could only assume she’d been swept up in the nationwide surge of anti-trans attitudes that has spilled through Congress, prompted hundreds of anti-trans laws and spurred an increase in hate crimes.</p><p>“He was yelling about [transgender people] and how he was going to mess them up,” Davis said of the man in the restroom.</p><p>Confrontations over gender identity have led to accusations and threats against both cisgender and transgender people. Spectators, parents and school board officials have accused girls of being transgender after seeing them in sporting events. Trans people’s use of bathrooms became a national flash point in 2016, when North Carolina passed a law that required trans people to use the public restrooms that match the sex on their birth certificates, instead of those matching their gender identities.</p><p>That bill was repealed a year later after protests and sweeping boycotts that cost the state an estimated $3.7 billion. But reports of women being harassed or threatened in bathrooms and accused of being trans have continued.</p><p>Davis, who is gay, said she has felt disheartened as conservatives have stepped up attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. She is hoping to leave Florida, but she said the sudden loss of her job complicated those plans.</p><p>“The intolerance … I hear it all the time,” Davis said. “It just feels like everything’s closing in on me.”'</p><p>Note how a heteronormal cisgender man felt entitled to enter the women's bathroom to yell at a woman to get out of it.</p><p>Trans Rights are Human Rights.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/transrightsarehumanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transrightsarehumanrights</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transrights</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LGBTQIA2S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA2S</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/transdayofvisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transdayofvisibility</span></a></p>

Joscelyn Transpiring<p>For those curious, here’s my <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/TDOV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TDOV</span></a> speech:</p><p>I have a message for the trans youth who are here today: you have a future. You have a future where you will be able to live, to love, and to thrive. Each and every one of you have a future where you will get to be your whole, beautiful self, and shine so brightly no one will be able to deny you.</p><p>Right about now, you might be rolling your eyes. Not only is that sappy as heck, but Joscelyn, look around and read the room: they are trying to make it so we cannot even survive until tomorrow, much less the future! They are declaring that they don’t deserve equal rights in schools and public life, that it should be a crime to even tell people your name or pronouns, and doing everything they can to stop our trans kids from having equal access to life-saving medical care. So how can I say you have a future?</p><p>The reason I know you have a future is because I am standing here right now. As an out and proud trans woman, *I* am the future that seemed impossible to me when I was your age. I am the future of a trans kid who grew up when it was a crime to be gay and trans.</p><p>I grew up in the midwest in the 1990s in a state where it was still a crime to be gay. This is blunt, but the only trans people who were visible to me at that time were punchlines and corpses. Hit movies played up the sexual assault of trans women for laughs or used the “shock” and “disgust” at our bodies as a dramatic twist. The only visibility in the news, when there was any, were our siblings who were murdered, such as Brandon Teena and Rita Hester. To dream of being an adult trans woman with a family - it felt like I would need to find a genie in a bottle or a magical potion because it was impossible to me.</p><p>But I’m here to declare that we, as trans people, do the impossible every single dang day. When the days ahead get hard, remind yourself: we will make the impossible happen, and we will do it together!</p><p>(1/2)<br><a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/TransDayOfVisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/TransPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransPower</span></a></p>
