   i guess that pretty much says it all

   trans community: rallies round, does what they can to organise humanitarian aid, urges everyone who'll listen not to forget the people being bombed

   the mainstream right: blames the war squarely on trans people, without even a hint of nuance. in an alarming number of cases, with even the same words.

   folks, this is directed - and a prelude for (more) violent action against trans folk. consider the historical precedents. the fascists here think that the fascists in Russia have given them their chance.

   stay safe, stay alert, stay together.

     Katelyn Burns has collated a twitter threadful of examples of today's fascist talking point: https://nitter.net/transscribe/status/1497592340202016769 (nitter.net mirror, sub other mirrors into the URL as applicable)

     she's also written a barnstormer of an article on the same theme:

     > If we were to accept the right’s conception of the cultural conflict at play here, that Putin is the strong man defending Judeo-Christian cultural values and Ukraine is the weak, decadent left, obsessed with pronouns, then the pronouns seem to be winning.

     well, quite.
