17c起草社区

The world is reeling from Donald Trump the US Election to become President of the United States for a second time, and 17c起草社区IA+ Australians are feeling it, even on the other side of the world.

We know that Trump’s , especially transgender people and queer people of colour.

Unfortunately, . so while 17c起草社区IA+ Aussies may not be directly affected by Trump’s harsh anti-17c起草社区IA+ and specifically anti-transgender policies right now, these and other conservative policies are likely to reach Australia’s shores at some point 鈥� if they haven’t already.

As Tamuz Ellazam writes in her think piece about Trump’s re-election to the White House, “If you think about the recent local backlash against Drag Storytime (see听听补苍诲听), against Queer Literature and 17c起草社区IA+ books being banned (see听,听听补苍诲听) against Youth Pride Events (see听), they all sound exactly like 47 and his gang, just with a nasal Aussie twang.”

So how are 17c起草社区IA+ Aussies feeling knowing Trump is back in the White House?

In short 鈥� pissed off and scared.

Would be great if the ALP took a lesson from this for our election but undoubtedly they will continue to be insipid cuck spineless losers

Everyone saying oh no Australia is next! Did you all just ignore the QLD election?We were 1st. It was already happening. This isn鈥檛 about one bad orange. This is the world accepting fascism blindly, not only ignoring but enabling & funding literal genocide. Where have you been?

It’s clear that across the board, queer Australians are hurting.

We don’t know what the next 4 years will look like but it’s important, now more than ever, to invest in each other and our communities.
