If you frame the narrative the right way you can get away with any fucking thing -- and in this case that means instrumentalizing the fuck out of feminine respectability politics Working really hard on letting everyone know you're "the right kind of woman"

Good God the fucking conversations I've had with well-meaning allies on this website The ones that essentially boil down to "Okay, I can kind of see how TERFs are philosophically similar to Nazis and would be natural political allies But aren't 'Nazis' supposed to be... men?"

God help those who can be talked around to thinking GC is anything akin to Nazis.

Stop spouting bioessentialist rhetoric and you'll sound less like Nazis. Stop trying to legislate trans people out of existence and you'll be acting less like Nazis. Stop thinking of yourself as somehow both the majority AND the helpless victim, and you'll think less like Nazis.

We're the majority view because most people don't realize the ridiculous state of the debate, which your distortion-full tweet well exemplifies. Like I said, god help such people who are so easily convinced of the Nazi angle. Godwin's law indeed.

But you do at LEAST realize you're fully aligned with the far right on this issue, yes? Most of you seem to have just accepted you're in bed with anti-abortion conservatives now like it's no big deal, but like, you do KNOW, right? This has not escaped your notice?

When your cohort decided to politicize a hitherto uncontested simple recognition of reality and leave that common ground, I'm not going to blush at who still stands there in a thinned crowd.

This is a pretty big part of why people link you to Nazis. It's on account of you standing there in the thinned crowd, shoulder to shoulder with....Nazis. You know, the ones who famously burned the archives of the Institut fur Sexualwissenschaft? Those Nazis?

Yeah, Mary is right! Nazis literally burned LGTQ people, and probably some Bisexuals who were labeled one of those others. They burned anyone who talked about trans history, they burned them all and made it illegal to think about anything like it. Fuck TERFs, fuck NAZIs.

Oh dear, and (your questionable grasp on history aside) whom shall I draw parallels with controlling thought around this issue?

Yeah the reason the Nazis were bad has nothing to do with the general concept of "freedom of speech" or "controlling thoughts"
