WHO TR*MP IS TRYING TO REPLACE RBG WITH: AN IMPORTANT THREAD
WHO TR*MP IS TRYING TO REPLACE RBG WITH: AN IMPORTANT THREAD
tr*mp is trying to replace RBG with Amy Coney Barrett. being that I, as a 15 yo trans bi guy who is stuck in the united shithole of america, will probably be impacted by whomever does end up in the supreme court, I googled her and decided I had to make this thread.
Now onto the actual thread, and not me explaining why I made it.
A simple quick google search revealed that she is NOT a good person. within a few minutes of scrolling through various sources, I learned that she is against reproductive rights.

This is bad, because her being added to the supreme court makes the overturning of Roe v. Wade closer to reality, which (just in case you didn& #39;t know) means that people will not be able to get abortions (legally). The overturning of Roe v. Wade will also mean that
more people will resort to illegal abortions, which are not as safe as legal ones. Coney Barrett has also called Roe v. Wade an "erroneous decision".
Amy Coney Barrett is also against LGBT+ rights. As a young trans man, this is especially scary, with tr*mp already having stripped rights away from LGBT+ (especially trans) people. She sided with the dissenters on Obergefell v. Hodges (the case that legalized gay marriage)
She has also stated that Title IX protections (no discrimination on the basis of sex in education) did not apply to trans people, and claimed that it& #39;s a "strain on the text" to say that it does. As if that wasn& #39;t bad enough, she also misgenders trans people, calling
transfems "physiological males".
In addition to all that is mentioned above, she has refused to rehear a racial segregation case, and has concurred with a rule that would ban immigrants likely to go on welfare from getting visas.
