    FYI, Jan Feddersen is also an LGB drop the T kind of transphobe who just two days ago defended the dehumanizing gatekeeping that still happens around legal name and gender changes in Germany and parrots every nonsensical TERF narrative you can think of.

    Edit: nvm, i overlooked that you already included his other pastime in the bottom text.

      LGB drop the T

      This movement will always be hilarious (in a fucked up way) to me, like uhhh once they get rid of the T who do you think they'll be coming for next

        They think they can go back to that brief window when there already was a gay and lesbian movement, but it hadn't expressly included bi and trans people. That lasted for less than half a decade IIRC, but that doesn't stop this kind of nostalgia.

        They are also all respectability politics libs who believe that the nazis will leave them alone if we do not provoke them by acting too flamboyant. My non-passing ass in a pleated skirt endangers their false sense of security. They think i'm drawing fire to their position, that they'll be left alone if they assimilate enough.

      Sometimes I wish we had communities on here in other languages just so that we could dunk in detail on all those German (etc.) reactionaries. Just imagine how much material there is between taz, FAZ and Die Welt.

        Spiegel is also really bad at times, they have a really bad transphobe infestation. ZEIT is complete blellow radlib brained and full of awful takes that try to link postcolonialism and antisemitism.

        Not to mention real chud shit like BILD, nzz and so on. The reason i dunk so much on people like Jan Feddersen or Sebastian Hammelehler or Jasper von Altenbockum may very well be that i just can't stomach the actual worst our press has to offer.
