Comparison
Well…
Assuming “1940s Germany” is meant to suggest Germany 1940-45 as opposed to Germany 1945-50, I have to say well but what about the fact that Germany 1940-45 was engaged in genocide as well as global total war with casualties in the millions? What about that part? I’m not seeing that happen to trans people, or anything resembling it, or anything that looks as if it could possibly if left alone over a long time end up resembling that.
To put it more crisply, I’m not seeing the persecution.
Not seeing you as you see yourself is not persecution. It’s the universal human condition, and it’s not persecution, it’s just how things are. We all look different from the inside as opposed to the outside. That’s just how “inside” and “outside” work.
People who see this tweet will think of Willoughby as the person who composed this tweet. That’s not everybody else’s fault, it’s Willoughby’s.
…and yet these same people got *soooo* mad when Gina What’s her face made the same bullshit comparison…
Somehow I think being told a woman you don’t like has the right to disagree with you on Twitter hardly compares to being gassed to death. Hyperbole much?
Gender critical feminists (and their supporters) are like atheists who wish not to be forced to follow the beliefs of someone else’s faith. They wish to maintain unbelief without being punished for it. Apparently this is asking too much. Trans activists are demanding that everyone clap so that Tinkerbell won’t die. If we don’t, her sparkling, glittery blood is on our hands.
That power to punish its critics, at least in the UK, has been greatly diminished with this ruling. With the protection in law of gender critical belief, on top of the finding of Stonewall’s misleading guidance on the Equality Act, TAs have lost a major portion of their political and rhetorical arsenal.
Did someone firebomb trans-Dresden? Or carve up trans-Berlin into four sectors?
Since when has gender critical been a polite term for anti-‘trans’? Fine. Go ahead! Make it mean that! I mean, if she wants to make opponents of more than half of ‘trans’ people and ‘trans’ supporters, then she’s going the right way about it. She’ll be left with an ever-diminishing set of out-and-out nutters whom no-one will want to be supporting. Excellent!

Probably at about the same time that refusing to use someone’s preferred pronouns became genocide.
