That Trans Thread

[Rev. Rye]

It also comes from incompetent politicians who simply need a group of people to blame for their own mistakes. Usually it's a weak group of people who can't defend themselves; thus, Hitler had Jews back when Jews were still weak, Putin blames the West (along with gays and trans people), and Trump blames all his mistakes on trans people and immigrants. Therefore, we have MAGA people coming here spouting Trump's delusions.

I don't know if you can remember, but there was some guy here on AF who actually blamed trans kids for the fall of Rome.

Hitler was also very big on blaming LGBT+ people, the first victims of the holocaust, despite Rowling's constant denials.

Fun Fact: if you remember seeing pictures of Nazi book burnings, they were probably taken on 10 May 1933, and a good-sized portion of the books on the fire came from the library of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute For Sexual Science, one of the first, if not the first, institutions to take trans folk seriously. And among those destroyed books were all their research into the trans phoenomenon, so post-war researchers had to restart it all from scratch.
