Many of the trans influencers who have spent the last months insisting that we’re living under imminent threat of “genocide” have said absolutely nothing about the ruling shutting down major parts of Florida’s SB 254 implementation.You would think that after months of fearmongerint that Florida is forcibly detransitioning every trans child in the state, there would be a little more celebration when that turns out not to be true.There isn’t, because doomerism drives engagement.

The sheer lack of civic responsibility being shown by these figures is depressing. Months of nothing but pessimism, FUD, and nihilism wreaks a significant mental health toll on trans people.What’s sickening is some of these people brag about the engagement their posts are getting in private chat groups.

Trans people deserve more than a constant stream of hate coming from our own. We are beautiful and most of the world agrees.Nihilism has no place here.

@emilygorcenski the genocide of trans kids just means they are being protected from child predators by thier parents. literally.

@emilygorcenski@indieweb.social I'm not following the whole situation in the United States, but I feel like not actually doing the genocide is probably not a thing that should be celebrated.Isn't it shameful that such a law got proposed in the first place?

@SuperDicq except that's not how it works, because it's not just "not doing a genocide." In many cases, these rulings are setting the stage for much stronger trans protections than existed before.

@emilygorcenski@indieweb.social Ah, as I said I'm not from the US.I hope that the "these rulings are setting the stage for much stronger trans protections than existed before" part is true.

@SuperDicq the way it works is like this, consider tennessee for instance.A year ago, nobody had ever tried to ban drag, so courts have never ruled on whether drag is free speech or not.The law passed attempting to outlaw drag. That's bad!But the Trump appointed judge looked at it and said, naw, this is blatantly unconstitutional. He then ruled that drag is protected.That means that, at least in that district, drag is explicitly protected by precedent.

@emilygorcenski@indieweb.social Oh right, as I am from a civil law country I'm not used to putting things in a common law context.
