The US empire at work. Luckily for all of us its 1955 and the empire is on its last legs.

why is it 1955? Do you see parallels between how trans people are treated today and the start of the civil rights movement?

No, the British Empire, the one dominating before the US, finally ended in 1956. We'll see if the Russian empire collapses before the US one.

and, the chinese one is gaining power. Empires fall, but not in my lifetime.
