Was going to say, pretty sure it would be covered by common law anyway

Jay Kaplan, an LGBTQ+ rights attorney for the ACLU of Michigan, also told the publication that because Whaley has used the name Joanna for over five years, she would be covered under “common law name changes” anyway, allowing her to legally list her current name on the ballot.

I am saying: why are you voting at all, when you keep being proven, election after election, that people that are not you, will never have your best interests in mind? You can vote Frank Liberati away, but your state’s transphobia/dead naming remains.
I am asking why do you believe voting for politician actually works in our favor?

You vote to keep people like this asshole from making policy that negatively impacts people's lives. Or, do you not care about who writes the laws in your area?

Must be nice, having the kind of privilege where you can just ignore all that, knowing that none of it affects you

Ah I see the problem you haven’t realized: who are these laws for? Politicians, yourselves, or some foreign entity? Why haven't you questioned why policy makers live very different lives than you, and blatantly want to keep deadnaming us? Why don't they just accept our new names, and carry on?

Must be nice, having the kind of privilege where you can just ignore all that, knowing that none of it affects you

If you have already realized this, then why are you not taking their privileges away from them, directly?

Do you think a pen is going to cease deadnaming?

I don't have privilege. I seize my means of liberation. My name is (✕⍯), and I refuse others to rename otherwise. Do you seize your means to be named how you desire?

It's more so “will voting fix deadnaming, or will directly composting Frank Liberati do so?” @Archangel1313@lemmy.ca hasn't realized they are prisoners to Nazis, and I am helping them realize they are stuck using Nazi tools for complacency. Instead of going directly to the source of the deadnaming.

I don't cosplay emancipatory explanations in a community for AmeriKKKa news. Do you perhaps cosplay politics at a poll booth?

Lol! Are you joking? You don't believe that voting against this guy will do any good...but also think that phoning him, will?

Are you working for his campaign? Or are you just trolling? Either way, I don't see any reason to take you seriously, at this point.

I gave you his physical home address. It's upto you if think leaving him alone is better than waiting for the courts to enable deadnaming Joanna Whaley.

She's literally covered two different ways (legally changed, used for over 5 years) he knew this complaint would be thrown out. It is signaling to shitty idiots Frank Liberati's happy to fuck with scapegoats & abuse minorities for power or money instead of dealing with real issues like healthcare and cost of living.

If you don't have what it takes to directly act your policies, why are you letting some politician underprivilege you?

Really? Are you "directly acting your policies", then?

And for the record, the only way you are ever "letting some politician underprivilege you"...is if you can't even be bothered to show up to vote against them. Telling people that voting doesn't matter, tells me that you are nothing more than controlled opposition.

People like you are working for them.

Are you “directly acting your policies”, then?

Absolutely. Why do you think I am telling you that the people at the poll booths love nothing more than to distract from privileging yourself for your chosen names? Do the poll staffers guarantee you your right to your chosen names, or you yourself?
Us anarchists have been telling you for decades, your empire has controlled you forever. Why are you letting them deadname you again? You have a deadname fetish or something?

People like you are working for them .

When are you voting to free us from deathcamps?

Ummm, yeah...again, I don't think you understand what the word "privilege" actually means. If you did, you'd realize that everything you're saying, absolutely reeks of it.

When are you voting to free us from deathcamps?

In the midterms, dummy. That's when we'll have a chance to take Congress away from the Republicans. If you aren't voting against them every time, then you're giving them exactly what they want.

Earning my freedom to choose my name, and keep it, means I am privileged?

Dummy, you had 5 midterms to abolish deathcamps.. You did shitall
to liberate us. Fuck your representational politics. Your Democrats thrice killed us in 2010-17, and with Joe Biden . I will not play your distractions from ending your prison games.

Fuck AmeriKKKa

Because the other options are

  1. don't vote and just complain
  2. violent revolution overthrowing the entire system.

So that's why people keep voting in an obviously broken system.

Third first option that historically has succeeded:
3. Free prisoners.
4. Dismantle fascist resources.
5. = 2.

people keep voting in an obviously broken system.

Being both aware why Americans are complacent on their fascist turn, they still dare wait longer.

Oh, ok. And how have you "earned your freedom", then? Just curious what kind of "direct action" you've engaged in, that's been so much more successful than what anyone else is doing?

By intersection and solidarity . Cops may call us criminals, but their imperialism doesn't bind us.

Are you going to let them deadname you?

Wut? Ok, now you're just using two more words you don't actually understand. Intersectionality is an "analytical framework". It is not an "action" that you can take. The actions you take can be rooted in, or inspired by intersectionality...but intersectionality in and of itself, is not something you "do". The same goes for "solidarity".
