SCOTUS has, for most of its existence, been a body that codifies institutional and stochastic violence against marginalized people. the only reason why libs expect them to do anything other than that is because, for a handful of decades, the liberal majority actually did the opposite of that in certain high profile cases (but not in others).

that said, I don't want to hear any more takes a la "trans women in blue states will be safe" or "white trans women are white first" or whatever. we're long past the point where we should be entertaining radlibs engaging in preening behavior on social media. ALL American trans women and transfems are now second-class citizens at the federal level, and that's not changing any time soon.

we can either accept that reality and build from here, or we can continue to entertain radlibs' attempts to "well actually" transfemininity into a second-tier identity issue. but we can't have both.

yeah this
