    I feel like transexuality of 2024 is the Judaism of 1934.

    Edit: or transgender or I guess anything ‘woke.’

    Stay safe friends.

      Transexuality of 2024 is the transexuality of 1934.

      Or 1933, more precisely, which was when the very first Nazi book burning destroyed the archives of the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin.

      In other words, the Nazi persecutions started with trans people, too.

        Yeah it’s easy to see us as the target and think we’ll stay the target. We’ll stay targeted but others will join us

      The word “woke” has become such a dog whistle, that a person who complains about things being woke, just shows me who they are.

        I have yet to encounter a person who uses “woke” as an insult that is able to define the word.

          The existence of a trans person is woke to them. There’s a character in one of my kid’s shows that’s non binary, and their simple existence pisses them off

      If your bits don’t match my expectation of your bits, my jimmies will be rustled. Rustled good.
