last week, anti-trans laws were passed in Portugal.

parliament revoked the 2018 law that gave us self-determination of legal gender and change of name.

in addition they also passed UK-style censorship laws banning schools from talking about gender, and UK-style laws banning the prescription of puberty blockers and hormones to trans children.

this is the first time Portugal has taken away human rights since it became a democracy in the 1970s.

This might be the clearest example of how transphobia is a tool being used to push fascism i've ever seen
