That “you are my dad” vine
PandoraSo like, with the "First they came for the trans folks" thing is reasonable and all with the comparison to the Holocaust, but I just need to gently remind folks that we aren't the first... There's several other minorities they've been coming for for a long time and we're just the latest in the list. It sucks. This is definitely some genocidal shit. But we're definitely definitely not first on this list.
Rain Dog@pandora_parrot disagree. I feel like they maintain plausible deniability about being antisemitic, anti black and anti Latino because they want our votes, money, and bodies in uniform enough to pretend it’s a few crazies or they’re pushing back against wokeness. I feel like with trans folks they have a minority whose votes and money they were never gonna get anyway, a group so small they don’t have to gerrymander to make up losing votes.
@Leucrotta I mean, fair... It just feels like potential erasure to talk about trans people as the "first" when there's genocides and slavery all around the world and in the US for a lot of history.
The comparison is apt, and the situation is extremely relevant. I just get itchy about the reference to us being "first" in this latest batch of nazism.
