As far as I see that instance is a far-right cess pool. Everything I’ve got from that instance were low-quality transphobic “news articles”.

    The vast majority of people screaming about bathrooms in the US are in fact Nazis or nazi adjacent.

    There is NO reason to dump that much hate on like two or three people per state unless you just enjoy the cruelty.

      That’s just ridiculous. Not all bad things are the same thing.

              If we start going down the “all bad people are x” path without having at least some knowledge of why and how they’re bad, we open ourselves to manipulation. Or irrelevance, if we dilute the term “Nazi” so much that when we call out actual Nazis no one listens.

              We have to be truthful in our accusations. Especially in a case like this. Being a transphobe is, by itself, a horrible thing. We don’t need to muddy the waters by throwing “Nazi” in there too. There are plenty of other, actual Nazis that can have that label.

        Uh, no, a lot of the people screaming about this are those on the far-right, who literately share memes with holocaust denial, wear swastikas, go to Neo-nazi rallies, etc. This is well known to hate watch groups, so this is not an exaggeration. We are literately talking about Nazi supporters, not just saying they are ‘like nazis’.

          I don’t know what to say except you’re just wrong. Not all transphobes are nazis, and calling them nazis just makes you look dumb. You can go slog through their bullshit if you like. All nazis are transphobes, of course, but it doesn’t work the other way. A TERF isn’t a nazi, and is probably a fan of the whole “punch a nazi” movement.

          You don’t NEED to call them nazis is the crazy thing. Being a transphobe is enough of a horrible thing. By also throwing in the nazi thing you make people just totally dismiss you as an uninformed person.
