Now that the government’s persecution of trans people has gone beyond sports and medicine for teens, where are all the people who insisted they weren’t "anti-trans" but just had some “reasonable concerns"? www.readtpa.com/p/reasonable...

Reasonable Concerns

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mercedesallen/116819096315720858

Been over this. Been over cops at pride. Been over politicians pretending to care about gay people in public but privately showing disdain. Been over the same people who tried to dismantle gay marriage suddenly pretending they were behind it only to change their mind the moment political winds shifted.

Fuck homophobes. Fuck people who hold hate in their heart. Fuck people who quietly resent we exist. Go fuck yourself. If you don't like our existence that's your problem. Get over it.

That's absolutely sad to read. The CEO of @mullvadnet is not only financing the far-right Swedish Örebro party, but he even is their main financer. 70+% of their money is his donation. He is the reason why they go nationwide this year.

For obvious reasons i cease to trust this service. Also i do not finance parties that aim for forced deportations.

#Mullvad

daniel berntsson, one of mullvad's two founders and owners, has donated millions to a local fascist/populist party. (swedish link to flamman, a socialist news site)

the örebro party are mainly known for using unusually aggressive rhetorics and racism.

in the article, berntsson specifically mentions supporting the örebro party's politics of forced repatriation of swedish citizens born abroad.

EDIT: …and should you decide that you're not renewing your subscription, then may i suggest telling them about it? i mean it's arguably a good thing if they're made aware that they're losing customers because of the owners financing this crap. and they can't get away with it since anonymous donations to political parties are prohibited in sweden.

you could even tell them here on fedi. it's mullvadnet(at)mastodon.online

UK folks, please contact your MP (ideally by post, but https://www.writetothem.com is also good) inviting them to support Early Day Motion 1251, "Support for the trans community":

In the years ahead, there will be so much pressure to be casually cruel. To value cruelty, celebrate it, normalize it, excuse it.

Choose to be the opposite of that.

Compassion has always been radical, but even more so when cruelty soaks into the bones of the culture and corrupts it.

I am aware that there are many valid critiques for phrenology, but counterpoint: everyone in my house with a cat-shaped skull is constantly doing crimes

Terry Pratchett was wise

After a lot of research I've mapped out the trends of where things are going, and... well it's not looking so good
