Its fucking insane how so much of it is like, "someone was mean to me online. Time to end their population as a going concern as a decade long project"

And the rest of it is 'patriarchy is a real and visible threat to women. Unfortunately men are protected as a social class and it's hard to speak out against them, luckily there's a loophole where we can accuse transwomen of being men, and just dump all that grief onto them as a psychic heatsink'

in this analogy terfs (in the classical sense) are psychic thermal paste, I like it

evangelical christianity is someone holding a heat gun on full blast

Much more powerful people. Strategic fascist behaviour from autocratic state leaders and their puppets.

Republicans polled their voters and asked, "Which people in America do you find the most upsetting?" It was Blacks for decades. Now it is Transpeople, their polls showed. Data drives which powerless group they will scapegoat. And once it's allowed they will choose more targets. Farmworkers?

Fascism has a playbook.

I keep thinking about the 90'/2000's with RuPaul's talk show, Nirvana in dresses at the VMA's, Dennis Rodman wearing a bridal gown. The straights were having a fun quirky moment but now the reality has set in that they'll have to respect and coexist with ordinary trans people and they hate it.

I was reflecting on that recently myself. Many a self described liberal loves to see people play around with gender, but the moment it becomes anything more than a performance they get incredibly scared and defensive.

And yet most cis Americans either don’t care that we’re being eradicate, or they’re jerking off to it

Every time it has come up as a massive furor that everybody is supposed to care about, I find myself asking (what should be) the obvious question... "Why do it matter so much to you if they have access to the same quality of healthcare that you do?" There's *never* a good answer

Every psycho dictator needs a scapegoat. Could be in the manual.

When the right wins, innocent people suffer and die. It is that simple.

I’ve always seen it as a carefully calculated right-wing attempt to relitigate gay rights… They lost the cultural fight there, so they used attacks on on trans rights as an inroad to attack LGBTQ rights as a whole
