“What #authoritarian governments and regimes do is take a #WedgeIssue and use it as the thin end of the wedge.

They pick particular issues which they feel a section of the public may be exasperated about, or have concern about, or there's been a media storm about, and they then use that to prise open your rights, and to change the law.”

I hope every furry who hasn't or still doesn't advocate for trans-issues, because the right wing will surely leave us alone, is happy now.

Now we get to be the wedge issue.
