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?

I see my words are wasted on you. No, the reason you link us to Nazis is for easy rhetorical advantage. It makes no sense, but it helps shut down debate. Ironically of course the politics I encounter from your side si deeply authoritarian and controlling.

The very first act of organized violence the Nazis undertook after ascending to power was an attack on trans people and transitionpic.twitter.com/pudMjoavZ7

Yup. And there was a brain drain of LGBT researchers from Germany to the US. Dr. Harry Benjamin was part of that brain drain, and the trans* standards of care were named after him. In fact, it could be argued his work passively led to the Compton cafeteria riots and Stonewall.

So you can actually make the argument that Hitler's actions against the LGBT community inevitably led to LGBT rights. Of course, he didn't intend this, in the same vein that WW2 led to women working in factories which was a precursor to women's liberation Funny how things work

I wouldn't put it that way, I'd say that what was already happening in Weimar was set back for decades by Hitler's atrocities and obviously would've been set back much further if he hadn't lost the war

Considering that we're just getting back around to uterine transplants, etc., which were stuff that the IfSW was persuasively failing at before it was burned, I'd say it was set back almost exactly 90 years
