Today in transphobia (Part 1)

Crossposted from Dee Snider and Ted Nugent back Paul Stanley’s claim that gender-affirming care is a “sad and dangerous fad”.

90 years ago today the Nazis burned the work of Magnus Hirschfeld that they seized at the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.

How many Good Germans thought that the gender-affirming care there was a “sad and dangerous fad”? How many thought that both sides should be listened to, while one side (and only one) openly talked about the elimination of the other? How many thought it was a good thing that the burned books were not readable by children? How many thought that we should be sent to the early concentration camps for our own good?

How many of them didn’t vote for the Nazis, but thought something had to be done?

90 years on it is all happening again, and I look at how even supportive places have individuals who would stand back and let it all happen again. Yes, they will say trans rights, but if they won’t do anything when we need actions, not words, then they are allowing what happens to us.

If you tolerate this, then your children will be next…
