California city plans to give universal basic income to transgender and non-binary residents

| April 5, 2022

Palm Springs, California, is running a pilot program that sets aside $200,000 to provide universal basic income for transgender and nonbinary residents. It does not matter what they earn. This income does not come with any strings attached. A resident can get up to $900 a month under this program.

From Fox News:

Queer Works CEO Jacob Rostowsky also claimed in a press release that transgender and nonbinary people “are highly marginalized in our society in general, especially economically,” and told the Desert Sun that the city of Palm Springs would have to match any state funds.

“Our project’s budget is estimated at about $1.8 million,” Rostowsky said. “And so when we look at what other [programs] that have been successfully funded have done, their local cities have provided nearly a match to that funding.”

Palm Springs Mayor Lisa Middleton, who is transgender, pointed to the transcript from the city council’s March 24 meeting where she “expressed strong reservations in general to guaranteed income programs.”

“I specifically stated that I did not believe such programs could scale up to adequately respond to the over 37 million Americans living below the poverty line, the over 6 million Californians or the over 400,000 in the County of Riverside living below the poverty [line],” Middleton said in an email, praising Brinkman for his work and expressing her “concern for the financial vulnerability of the transgender community.”

“Transgender Americans suffer extremely high rates of under and unemployment. Transgender Americans face enormous challenges living full and authentic lives,” the mayor said. “Those challenges have increased substantially in the past few years as transgender children and their families have been targeted by extremist legislators and governors.”

Middleton added she believes a UBI program is a “county, state and federal responsibility,” not a “municipal” one.

Fake men and fake women living authentic lives.

What a delusion.

I’m 100% on board with whatever program you’d like to foist upon the producers in this country… right after there are/is no; potholes, structurally deficient bridges, homeless Vets, AFT (h/t to POTATOES), deadlined HMMWVs in any motor pool (in the US, AFG is on their own!); also, the whales are saved, drugs lost the war (or are legalized, w/e), the National Parks are all free to the tax payer, we’ve gone back to the moon…

In short: GFY

Harsh, but are they paying folk just for being cisgender heteros, too? Fair’s fair.

In a related note, there is a group of sex educators that are pushing the homo and trannie sex education on grade schoolers. They call it CSE–Comprehensive Sex Education. I was wondering why; then it occurred to me. If you are part of a freaky demographic that goes from .2 % to 5% of the population, you feel a need to recruit more of your preferred sex partners. Especially when some of you are promiscuous and pedophiles aka “minor attracted persons.”

Remember, one of the primary complaints of trannies about us heterosexual males: That we don’t want to date and have sex with them. They claim we are “transphobic” because we don’t want to get it on with a fake chick with a dick. Thus, they have decided they need to recruit children to their deviance and delusions.

Hey, only sausage I eat is made by Hillshire Farms. If that don’t like that, too bad. (Plus, Charlie Sheen listened to the woke hype while he was drunk and got AIDS out of it.)

For the purposes of this program I am double transgendered, meaning essentially I am male hetero. I am thinking I should get double.

“UBI program is a “county, state and federal responsibility,” not a “municipal” one. No. it’s a fucking personal one. If you can’t get a job (especially due to some sexual proclivity or other) change your habits or keep it to yourself and get a goddamned job!

That dude should just cop a plea. Seriously, he’s going to lose and the embarrassment will only be magnified with an entire trial process. His public defender is doing a disservice advising her client to take this to trial. And, if the client doesn’t listen, fuck it, just walk. If I was a “lawer”, I wouldn’t take this case in a million years.

Okay, so if I suddenly decide that I’m a transgender buck-toothed red-headed Latverian Circus Midget, does that let me double-dip? I see this nutjob Municipality suddenly begging the Feds for more money as soon as this takes off.

Sorry, Completely unrelated. I just learned an amazing piece of information about Marines. I’ve got to share it. It turns out that nearly 73% of Marines are younger than 24 y.o.. Compare that with oh, “Pick a service.” for USAF you have to reach almost 39, Army 34, Navy 39, I’m afraid those young Marines are just a poop ton smarter than I thought. I’ll have to apologize to the older brother. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK220068/table/ttt00002/?report=objectonly

Now we are seeing definite signs of communism being implemented. All in the nature of coddling the least populated portion of society, and one containing a threat to children.

How it was in Bosnia… the ones who grew up under communism expected NATO to do everything for ’em, the ones who grew up during the war did stuff for themselves and fixed everything once the older ones in charge retired.

Seems to me that providing a government benefit to one sexual orientation while denying it to others is a violation of the either the US or California Civil Rights acts.

It’s “social justice”… to say “un-Constitutional” is why left/libtards feel the Constitution is racist.

On a somewhat related note, UPenn has told its female swim team to “get over it” when Lia Thomas walks around the locker room with genitalia exposed. One young lady commented that it is obvious that “she” is still attracted to females. Anyone else wonder how she figured that out? maybe little Lia has been observed at attention when the girls are showering.

What a sweet gig; I sure missed out when I took advanced swimming in college–my class was exclusively males.

Explain that one away, proggies. The shower scene from Starship Troopers it ain’t.
