1. La Función Paralela en Movimientos Fascistas.
Múltiples comentarios sostienen que la transfobia en el fascismo moderno, particularmente en el movimiento MAGA, desempeña el mismo papel estratégico que el antisemitismo tuvo para el nazismo: unificar una base, desviar la ira popular y justificar políticas autoritarias.
- Can we just acknowledge that transphobia is the antisemitism of the modern nazi movement? it's the core bigotry that unites a whole array of totalitarian policies that would normally be universally recognized as tyrannical but suddenly becomes acceptable when the stated target is trans people.
- Transphobia performs the same function for maga which antisemitism performed for the nazis.
- Transphobia is to 21st century american fascism as antisemitism is to 20th century european fascism.
- I've said it before and i'll say it again: transphobia is playing the role in modern fascism that antisemitism played last time. It's the spearhead that gets people into it and it's the condensation points for further radicalisation to happen.
- Case in point for transphobia performing the structural function for maga that antisemitism did for the nazis. (i love vampires but have no illusions about the antisemitism woven into their tropes.).
2. Raíces Históricas en la Ideología Nazi.
Se establece una conexión histórica directa, señalando que la transfobia fue un componente integral de la agenda nazi. Se menciona la persecución de personas trans y la destrucción de investigaciones sobre género como uno de los primeros actos del régimen, vinculando esta hostilidad directamente con su antisemitismo.
- The specific form of transphobia that was existent in nazi germany is inherently tied to antisemitism, like you literally cannot divorce the two.
- Your transphobia makes no sense transphobia is part of nazi ideology so what do you say about that?
- Further, nazis didn't start with jewish people. Or immigrants. They targeted trans folks first. The first books burned -- all the emerging research into transgender medicine. Seem familiar?
- Transness was seen by the nazis as a sort of jewish project to corrupt non-jews and spread degeneracy. That doesn't, obviously, mean that the nazis were not deeply transphobic. But you that transphobia was also directly intertwined with their antisemitism.
- It goes back to the nazis. Modern transphobia is literally just regurgitated nazi propaganda.
3. Similitudes Estructurales y Conspirativas.
Los usuarios observan que ambas formas de odio comparten una estructura similar, a menudo basada en teorías de conspiración. Estas narrativas presentan a los grupos objetivo como una amenaza oculta y poderosa que conspira para corromper a la sociedad, a los niños y los valores tradicionales.
- A helluva lot of transphobia is just classic antisemitism with the labels switched. It's horrific.
- Dig deep enough into transphobia, you will find antisemitism every time. One of the biggest modern antisemitic conspiracy theories is that jews (or as these nazis will say it: "they") are funding the existence of trans people to groom and mutilate women and children.
- What transphobia most reminds me of (beyond the obvious homophobia; they’re basically twins) is antisemitism. They both turn into “and these people i hate also secretly rule the world! and they could be anywhere!!”.
- I think one point of commonality between transphobia and antisemitism is that they require a higher average level of conspiracy thinking than e.g. Homophobia.
- I've said a number of times that transphobia and antisemitism share fundamental structural features in a way that distinguishes both from other forms of bigotry. Among other things both are preoccupied with a fear of the secret other, the passing other.
4. La Transfobia como Puerta de Entrada al Extremismo.
Se argumenta que la transfobia funciona como un "gateway" o punto de entrada hacia ideologías de odio más amplias, incluyendo el fascismo y el neonazismo. Se percibe como una forma de intolerancia socialmente más aceptada que sirve para radicalizar a individuos.
- Transphobia is a gateway to all kinds of hateful ideas. So many transphobes on twitter are proudly pro-israel and post all kinds of sick lies about palestinians.
- “‘gender critical’ transphobia is a ‘gateway drug’ to extremism” explains a lot about this government tbh.
- Transphobia is the gateway drug to nazism, every time. Whether it's externalized or internalized.
- Transphobia is a gateway to neo-nazism. Actual neo-nazis are very open about this: they see this bigotry as a means to grandfather their antisemitism and race-pseudoscience into the mainstream.
- The fact that every single transphobe, no matter if they start from as a "just asking questions" liberal or "fire and brimstone" evangelical, pretty quickly ends up in nazi territory (and happily stays there) shows how effective transphobia has been for their recruiting efforts.
