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

I'd hazard a guess that the modern concept of transgender wasn't around then. Surely the word wasn't? Interesting to know they did that, makes sense they'd go after non-conforming sexuality, the bastards. Just has nothing to do with me, my beliefs or this debate.

The modern concept of transgender has been around a lot longer than most people think, because the Nazis and those like them burner most of the research and literature done on them up to that time and set the public's knowledge of the issue back decades.

@9billiontigers has been posting about her personally wanting to go back to and reclaim the term "transsexual"
Because the logic behind the coining of "transgender" as separate from "transsexual" - the idea that there's a difference between "sex" and "gender" - concedes too much

It precisely does. It's a semantic wedge.

There's a reason many communities thrashed themselves apart over the words a couple of decades ago, and why we ended up using trans* as a workaround, until finally getting rid of the star.
