The first books the Nazis burned were scientific research notes about trans people.
Hey there. Just letting you know that in general trans people and their allies absolutely do not want to be the center of public attention like this. They didn't ask for it.
You're right, there's no good reason everyone should be so completely focused on them as a group. But that wasn't their choice. That was the choice Nazis made when the first books they burned were about gender and sexuality.
That was the choice Nazis made when they spent the last decade and the foreseeable future demonizing and discriminating against transgender people.
Not because they asked for it. Not because they deserve it. But because they are the easiest target. Small in numbers. Complex by nature. Difficult to understand for the uninformed and the disinformed. "Different."
They don't consider themselves the center of the universe. Bigots do. Bigots have decided that transgender issues should be the thing everyone cares about right now. If you want to blame anyone, blame them.
Well stated
"You’re right, there’s no good reason everyone should be so completely focused on them as a group." For me trans or asexual or whatever it's like see the rain, DON'T CARE. But It's very annoying that you get constantly bombarded by propaganda 24/7 when I sincerely don't fucking care. And it's not like "yeah if you aren't A or B so you don't listen this you wouldn't be affected" it doesn't work like that. You are the only one that partially understand my intention of normalize trans or LGBT.
