    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.

    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’m not saying to vote for this guy. I’m saying vote against him. Anyone else is better than this clown.

          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?

            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.

              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.

            You vote to keep people like this asshole from 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?

                Buddy, I’m talking about your privilege. Not “theirs”.

                  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?
