Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.
It makes sense if you don’t think about it. Which apparently the DOJ never did.
It’s all about creating enemies the ignorant bigots can stand together against.
USA is a disgusting society.
Last I checked (last week? Does time mean anything anymore?) canada doesn’t want poor trans refugees more than any other country. A few people have gotten in, but the vast majority of applicants are being denied asylum.
Source for that claim? I’m pretty sure Canada is unfortunately still very backwards on granting asylum to people who need it (like most countries in the world are), but I’d love to be wrong about that.
There was a convicted criminal now representative in my state that has a YouTube video out of her firing an assault weapon. She was the lead sponsor of the bill that banned assault weapons in our state. On top of that because of her past convictions it is illegal for her to be in possession of a firearm.
It only makes sense if you don’t look at the shit show behind the curtains.

It’s shaping up to declare us all mentally incompetent so that they can institutionalize us. They won’t stop here.
What a nightmare, and AFAIK no country will accept trans people from USA as refugees (yet).
I hope you have options.
I think Canada does from what they reported of asylum sellers from the US and mostly were trans.
I hope if shit pops off they can send us care packages from the north.

I think you might be right. Couldn’t find the article I read on Lemmy or online.
