deriving "power" from becoming normal in a system (or changing the "normal" in the system to be you), instead of operating *outside* the system, is __________
-
uh, trans people want to normalize “trans”, and some wish to enforce that normality so, maybe fascism
Equivocation. Hitler both made himself as normal as possible (becoming a conduit for the will of the German people) and pursued policy that killed and coerced abnormal people. Trans people want not to be treated as deviants, which has to do with normativity maybe, not normality.

wouldn’t even use hitler and normality and normativity ain’t so distinct as to use them like that but also, i’ve been dialing back “fascist/fascism” as a critique because it’s never appropriate today
-
like, hitler was more ethno-fascist, and trans people’s identities can be spotted into the fascist framework, if they try to force others to use their preferred identity, but if we want to have trans activism (which is warranted), we can’t act like fascism is bad in itself
