The U.S. Department of Justice is looking into ways to limit transgender people's right to possess firearms, @CNN reports. This would be predicated on the idea that trans people are mentally ill. The idea has gained currency in conservative media since last week's school shooting, which police say was carried out by a trans woman, but the vast majority of mass attacks have no connection to transgender people.#LGBTQ #TransRights #SecondAmendment #USPolitics #TrumpAdministration #USConstitution #USLaw
Resharing this again, because I need the help and it's what it takes to get it.
Current update on things is that I've just gotten over nearly a solid week of sobbing... I'm struggling hard physically and mentally just to function at a base level right now.
The state I live in is just about to pass a bathroom bill, and it's a minor miracle that the drastically worse bills didn't move forward this session, but they're coming.
Until I have enough funds to feel remotely confident that I can afford the costs of the move all I can really do is just keep putting one foot in front of another.

They're trying to spin a version of things that suddenly claims that most or all mass shooters are trans, despite zero evidence of that fact. And why are they doing that? Because it gives them an excuse for platforms like this...
This asshole is literally calling for me to not only be arrested, but experimented on!
... Things are speeding up.
I sorely need help getting at least to a state that will be more likely to defend me: gofundme.com/f/assist-a-jewish…

Je n'ai jamais vu quelqu'un qui aimât la vertu autant que le sexe.
Cette citation déformée vient du chapitre 15 de "Les Entretiens" attribués à Confucius par Lao-Tseu (partie 12):
已矣乎、吾未見好德如好色者也。
Que l'on peut traduire par:
«Hélas! je n'ai jamais vu personne qui aime la vertu autant qu'il aime la beauté corporelle.»

Il n'y a pas de mauvais temps, juste des mauvais vêtements.
Cette maxime est difficile à retracer, car elle peut s'exprimer de multiples façons. La première correspondance connue apparaît dans une lettre de 1874 du poète et romancier allemand Berthold Auerbach, qui attribua cette maxime à l'homme politique allemand Heinrich Simon.

Extrait de cette lettre:
«Il n'y a pas de mauvais temps, il n'y a que de bons vêtements», disait le grand esprit Heinrich Simon, noyé dans le lac Wallensee, dans son proverbe, et cela s'applique aussi à moi.
L'homme qui regarde l'horizon ne voit pas la prairie devant lui.
La première occurrence trouvée pour ce "proverbe" date de 2011. A l'époque, il était décrit comme un proverbe chinois. Cependant, il est inconnu en Chine. Il ne s'agit pas non plus d'un proverbe amérindien. Il s'agit d'une citation anonyme.
