Conservatives in the government want to strip us of our ability to defend ourselves. Reporters covering the issue have heard Justice Department officials call us trannies, and say that on principle we should be disarmed. In my previous post I asserted that should the preferred method of shoving us into the gutter not be fast enough in eliminating us, that stronger measures might be pursued. It seems like at least some actors in the Justice Department want to pave the way for those stronger measures.
Regimes with genocidal intent do not simply flip the switch on the murder machine to on, they have to prepare the way to achieve their goal, just like the implementation of any other policy.
Cis people refused to believe us about who we are for a very long time; now there are some who are so desperate to go back to the days when the social consensus was that we didn’t truly exist, that they will seek to return us there by force. Please do not repeat the mistake of disbelieving us now–this is real, this is happening, they want us disappeared by any means necessary.
