My latest on Daily Kos: On Tuesday morning, Donald Trump released an anti-transgender tirade of a speech on his social media website Truth Social, outlining a genocidal plan against all transgender existence in the United States. Everyone on the right from mainstream Republicans to hardcore neo-Nazis are celebrating the video while Democrats and legacy news media outlets have so far largely ignored it. “So this is what we are up against,” tweeted legislative researcher and pro-transgender activist Erin Reed. She continues, “a national transgender ban in 2024. This is what they are planning. DeSantis is practicing this through executive actions in Florida. Trump is openly saying he will do the same.”
Trump is now in unambiguously genocidal territory. Holocaust museums have warned that this increasing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric mirrors the hate that led up to the rise of Nazi Germany.
“Before 1933, Germany was a center of LGBT+ community and culture, with several renowned organizations serving and supporting trans and gender non-conforming people. Hitler’s Nazi government, however, brutally targeted the trans community, deporting many trans people to concentration camps and wiping out vibrant community structures. ” via the Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust https://mjhnyc.org/blog/transgender-experiences-in-weimar-and-nazi-germany/
@VPS_Reports Ah yes, everyone loved the rampant child prostitution of Weimar Germany and it was only that mean old Hitler who had a problem with it. Pederasty always comes with sodomy.
