Where I Stand

Good morning, Readers!
Picture
This gorgeous fox is by deviantart.com user AlaxendrA. It's so beautiful, and I HAD to share it. Click the image to see more beautiful pieces by the artist.
A few days ago, I posted this status update:
"Did your candidate win?" is a really sneaky way to try and discern my politics, sir. Let me help you out a bit. I'm so far left, you might mistake me for Scandinavia. Does that help you?
I giggled.  The people who know me giggled.  It was a good time.

It's also true.

For the benefit of those who don't follow me on Facebook or Twitter, let me state plain and simple where, exactly, I stand.

Trans women are women.  Trans men are men.  Trans people are people, and if you have trouble thinking of them, or treating them as anything other than that, then we cannot be friends.  I will not permit it.  If you decide to make a fuss about people respecting transgender people, be that using their proper pronouns or making washroom accommodations, you and I are going to get into a fight.

Women are people.   We are capable, intelligent, can and should lead, and should be in full control of our own bodies and our own lives.  If you disagree with that in any way, shape, or form, we cannot be friends.  Also, fuck you.

Healthcare is a right, and should be extended to everyone.  If you think people deserve to die simply because they are too poor to be able to pay a doctor, then you are a legitimate monster, and we cannot be friends.

Clean drinking water is a fundamental right.

First Nations people have been brutally treated, and that treatment continues, and we all need to be doing better by them.

Vaccines are a good thing, and don't 'cause autism.'  Also, if you'd rather risk serious illness, side-effects and death for your child than autism, you're a horrible person, and we cannot be friends.

The environment is paramount.

White nationalists, supremacists or any other moniker Nazis are going by at present are not 'fine people' at all.  They're awful, and their abhorrent ideology is utterly unworthy of any kind of platform whatsoever.  Free speech does not trump the safety of the people.  I do not have to tolerate intolerance, and any suggestion that I must will result in immediate unfriending.  For life.

Trump is the worst possible manifestation of all the vices of humanity in one disgusting golem.

That's where I stand.  You are free to walk away now if you think you can't handle all the leftishness.

Tomorrow's post will be lighter, because that's about all I can handle without exploding into a ball of raging fury.

​Ciao!
