Jay UlfelderI don't know if the increasingly open calls from right-wing influencers for violence against trans people and their allies are heartfelt or cynical ploys to draw attention, but as someone who's studied ethnic conflict and mass atrocities, I know that it doesn't matter; dangerous speech has the same effect either way.
Parker Molloy@jayulfelder @stribley As a trans person, this has been absolutely brutal for my mental health. And what's worse is that for years, as I've tried to warn people about what the right wants to do, I've been told I'm exaggerating.

As someone said to me the other day, the road to fascism is paved with people saying "You're exaggerating."
I can't even imagine what you and the rest of my trans friends are feeling. I know how deep my rage is, but also know that any multiplier I come up with won't touch what you're going through.
