Bigots will claim trans people are delusional or lying and that it's impossible for us to do what we do and then insist upon leveraging the entire apparatus of state violence to prevent this supposedly impossible thing from ever happening again.

You know, the same thing they did and still do to gay people.

Anti-trans bigots are weirdly obsessed with being seen as the sane and rational and scientific ones despite their views being rejected by the scientific consensus and foaming at the mouth constantly with irrational, genocidal hatred.

There's no actual daylight between the "rational" or "normal" anti-trans bigots like Rowling, Musk, or Singal and the theocratic evangelical right-wingers they cozy up with and consider allies.

And I figure we're only a few years away from JKR unironically saying, "I'm a Nazi, LOL."

But in the meantime, they're desperate to hide behind this flimsy shred of mainstream acceptance, to not be seen as the fringe lunatics they are.

I posted a thread the other day about how fascists want to be normalized and therefore legitimized no matter how crank or outright evil their beliefs are.

We're watching it happen in real time here.

@gwynnion I wonder how long it is before we openly allies with the Matt Walsh's of the world? I mean, she already has, but she pretended to rebuke him.
@Tweetfiction I suspect she'll drop the facade as "Harry Potter" fandom peters out and is no longer profitable to her.

@gwynnion Honestly, I think she'll do it before then, and in fact she's doing it now. What I think will happen first is she'll cross the line and Warner Bros will drop her like a bad habit. And then she'll go full Nazi.

I'm just glad real feminists realize terfs are full of shit. I don't think I could take it if they had the majority opinion.

@Tweetfiction I mean, I think "Potter" has run its course already and she's not angling for mass popularity with Cormoran Strike so much as using it to air her various grievances. The way UK politics is going, her being a Nazi will be unremarkable soon.
