Today in transphobia (Part 1)

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tweeted obscene and hateful statements about a Biden administration official, attacking the official’s transgender identity. And Twitter is refusing to delete the tweets even though they violate the platform’s ban on hateful conduct.

This is right up there with the myth of 9 month abortions. Whether this is a true fact or not (narrator: These are emphatically not true facts) is immaterial. It resonates with the base, and sounds like something “they” would want to force on children, as we are obviously child-hating devil worshippers. Anyone who puts any stock in Empty Greene’s stupid, hate-filled fascist “thoughts” is most likely beyond reach of redemption.

I wish somebody would invite her to a new “committee meeting” and lock her in a broom closet.

Was that not a deliberate allusion to the Jewish question? It didn’t sound reminiscent to me, it sounded like someone hinting that maybe trans people were a minority to eliminate, without quite openly saying so but still in a way nobody could miss.

As I have seen pointed out, they never even say what question they want to debate. It’s all innuendo, so I’m not inclined to assume they don’t mean what it sounds like.

I think I disagree with this. It is very openly saying that trans people need to be disappeared. The idea that this is a “debatable” point rather than a prosecutable one is the utterly shocking to me.

I remember when the New Statesman was left wing. It was a sad day when the editors decided that National Socialism was the solution for all Britain’s problems.

And the audience fucking applauds.

Trans people need to prepare to defend ourselves.

I hear that as a very personal threat. I have said before, they will find no easy meat here. Yes, that is a warning to them.

Repeated use of the term “the trans question,” or even worse “the trans issue,” is incredibly dangerous. I have a hard time believing the authors are unaware of the implications. How long until in morphs into “the trans problem?”
