Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

You will not have my hate!

You will not have my fear!

And you will most certainly will not stop me living my life!


Here is my light in all this darkness

You only have power over people when there is fear and you shall not have my fear, you know what came of you trying to cause fear??

I am not a Snowflake, I am fire!

Getting called a snowflake because I disagree with trump

‘Generation’ Snowflake, is a term used to characterise young adults of the 2010s as being more prone to taking offence and less resilient than previous generations, or too emotionally vulnerable to cope with views that challenge their own.

I AM NOT A SNOWFLAKE!!!

I am not taking offence,

 I am standing up to bullies who want to legalised sexism, racism, the oppression of minorities and the rights of the LGBT community


I do not need to hide behind legalised hate to voice my opinion.

Anyone here remember the name Reed O’Connor???


No???

Well he’s the Judge that temporarily blocked an order that would allow a transgender student to use the boys’ bathrooms during his senior year at a Virginia high school. (The case is State of Texas v. U.S.A., 7:16-cv-00054, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, Wichita Falls). This legislation would have it made safer for transgender students to use the bathroom of their choosing.

Well O’Connor is back and believe it or not and even bigger sorry excuse of a human being than last time

O’Connor has brought the Obama administration to a halt again by stopping a legislation that would strengthen transgender rights, this time over health rules that could force doctors to violate their Hippocratic Oath on the grounds of religious beliefs and refuse treatment to the transgender community. O’Connor wasn’t finished there though.

This block in legislation allows doctors to also refuse patients who had an abortion, both under the illusion of ‘religious freedom’. O’Connor took the ruling just one step further, stating that insurance companies are unfairly burdened by having to add transgender individuals and women who have had abortions to their plans. This doesn’t only set transgender rights back 60 years it also pushes woman’s rights back.

The Affordable Care Act (Section 1557) currently protect patients against discrimination in health care on the basis of race, colour, national origin, sex (including gender identity), age or disability. As many federal courts and agencies have determined, “sex discrimination” is still seen as a somewhat unclear concept that can include gender stereotyping and gender-based considerations. Whereas, Anti-trans discrimination is clearly gender stereotyping, while discrimination against women who terminated a pregnancy is rooted in stereotypes about maternity and female sexuality.

 Essentially, people have got mad over the fact that health care professional had to save the lives and protect the health of people who just straight up don’t believe in the things they believe in.


O’Connor just made a ruling means that doctors don’t actually have to do their job to save a life if they don’t like how a patient looks or lives.

O’Connor’s was clearly chosen as he has a history of transphobic rulings and it is clearly the exact reason why he was asked to oversee the case in Texas. This is partly verified by rumours that Congress has moved to repeal Obamacare/the Affordable Care Act. Which means that healthcare in America just got more daunting for some of its most marginalised and vulnerable people. 

O’Connor’s has essentially made it acceptable for doctors to remain uneducated and ignorant of transgender health issues. He has also set back public opinion about research into trans healthcare by a few years. If the ruling sticks a few years will surely grow with every new doctor who refuses treatment of a trans individual.

This also means that doctors are allowed to refuse treatment of people who have previously had an abortion. Given the impending repeal against Obamacare the ACA will undoubtedly take money out of Planned Parenthood, healthcare for people who can get pregnant in this country just got even more complex.

This attack on healthcare and needs to stop, for fear that more and more lives become compromised for the strangely argumentative reasoning of “religious freedom.”

If you believe that “religious freedom” is enough to costs someone else their life, a mother, a father, a child, a family or friend.


Then I hereby declare that it’s not religious freedom its legalised discrimination.
