Teachers fired, inmates detransitioned, adult care banned, allies killed. A new phase of anti-trans politics- eradication is the goal

By Erin Reed | WASHINGTON – On Monday morning, we learned of a tragic incident: a woman was fatally attacked outside her store by an individual who had torn down the pride flag displayed there.

The following day, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals delivered another blow, determining that transgender youth and adults aren’t entitled to their medication, arguing such treatment is not “deeply rooted in this nation’s history and traditions,” a rationale echoing the Dobbs anti-abortion decision.

Concurrently, new laws are coming into effect, mandating the forced detransition of any incarcerated transgender individual. The once muted alarm signaling potential dangers for the transgender community has escalated into a raging firestorm. Reactionary figures from the right are fueling this blaze, advocating for eradication.

    Honestly, they don’t even give a shit about transgenders. Notice the timing of this recent uptick in anti trans rhetoric. It seemed to naturally flow in the immediate aftermath of roe vs wade being gutted. They needed a new dog whistle topic and transgenders are an easy target to shift that focus to.

    Transgenders are the Jews of Nazi germany. The scape goat for fascists to unite their base and ensure the population has someone to target that isn’t them.
