Don't forget that Hitler also started by targeting gay and trans people. Within days of being elected, his supporters attacked the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin. The institute was where the first male-to-female genital surgery was performed in 1922. Nazi's broke into the building hauled out the 20,000 book research library and burned it in the streets, one of the first and largest of the Nazi's book burnings.
I'm afraid that this is just the beginning.
It was black people, then women, then gay people, then trans people. Bigots don't learn, they shift to whatever's fashionable to oppress. They love power they can't have and don't deserve. They're weak.
Oh they still want to make life miserable for all the previous groups.
Oppress what you can, while you can
We need to get back to calling the qons weird. And by "we" I mean people at the top - and they need to do it constantly.
It's very, very weird to have this bizarre fixation on trans youth. But it seems to occupy the mind of the qons to a huuuuuge degree. Here is Megyn Kelly saying it might be the most important thing. I mean what the fuck?
They won’t stop with youth. Already frequent supply shortages, pharmacies that’ll refuse to fill out in the best of times (for testosterone - the ladies get more access to DIY)
The youth narrative has always been a ploy. They’ve been loudly shouting that doctors are wantonly lopping the tits and dicks off of 14-year olds for years at this point. People believe whatever they hear repeated enough. Reality doesn’t matter.
They’ve already had impact on insurance coverage, I’m sure it can get even worse. I think there’s also going to be a push to categorize trans adults as autistic and thus meriting “extra protections.”
I suspect they way they’ll get us is with institutionalization/abuse of the mental health care system (which is already in place in many states - Utah has prison camps for queer middle class teenagers to die in the desert, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas run their mental hospitals like prisons), then something akin to Aktion T4. You don’t even actually have to kill them afterwards - the combined shock of inpatient/probably repeatedly misgender and subject to conversion therapy and then likely loosing your job/other consequences - well, they love our suicide rates, don’t they?
