Adolf Hitler declared Magnus Hirschfield "the most dangerous Jew in Germany" because he was a gay man who did extensive medical and social research based around trans people and provided them resources to transition.
In case there was any doubt who these people are emulating.

A while back I had a conversation about how for cis queer people, acts of transphobia can feel uniquely paralysing. They feel very close to home. Sometimes they trip the ‘oh god, my family is in danger’ response, which means we often centre our own anger, or freeze up. 1/6

If only these were actually the values guiding our society rather than, well, white heteropatriarchy.

Nice to see Twitter is moving from "Wanting to have sex with women is misogynistic" to "Thinking you look nice is internalized male gaze".
13/10 would burn Twitter to the ground and never look back 👍🏽

ALT Part of a notice on the University of London's staff intranet: If contributions are not paid in full for each day of industrial action, then such days will be treated as days of “suspended membership” with loss of pensionable service and importantly loss of death in service cover on those days.
