Jesus I hate this so fucking much. Please trans comrades stay safe.
“Issues around trans people participating in sports was kind of their Trojan horse—kind of a wedge issue to get attention to the broader mainstream.”
:surprised-pika:
Totally my own perspective but it feels like all fascist hatred of jews and poc has shifted to trans people. ofc they still hate them but right now the empire his it's crosshairs on them.
In Weimar Germany it was kind of combined together because Hirschfeld was also jewish. Lots of Nazi propaganda was "look at this jewish man corrupting the youth by making them gay and trans! he's a groomer!!!"
nearly indistiguishable from modern transphobic rhetoric
As a trans woman, I'm really scared. I keep reminding myself that just existing is radical in these tough times but holy shit it feels like libs just don't care and they make up the meat of the opposition to this.
Stay safe, comrade! The libs are definitely not taking this fight seriously, and actually seem quite unaware of the danger of what's unfolding. As frustrating as it is, it's up to us to convince our friends and family and really get ahead of this wave of propaganda.
Straight out of the nazi playbook. If you dehumanize a minority group they become subhuman in the eyes of the general public.
It's chilling how these half-cooked balls of shit in a tinfoil wrapper masquerading as politicians seem to care more about killing minorities than actually running their country. Didn't some polls say that even their own voters barely care about this culture war malarkey?
This the same batch Crimew published? Crimew's an absolute legend.
Sometimes I wonder what it'd have been like if older moral panics and/or the various iterations of the Satanic Panic had this terrible of opsec. Bet there's always been real shit lurking just beneath the proverbial water's surface
