i see two main outcomes. either the “civilized” (imperialist, capitalist western/global north) countries who have made progress with LBGTQ+ rights will leverage the fact to justify crimes against “uncivilized” (impoverished, oppressed global south) countries, or we will be wiped out bit by bit, starting with the most vulnerable of our community (transfem and nonbinary poc) to the least vulnerable (cis white gay dudes), being censored and ignored into oblivion. american republicans are pushing for the latter while american democrats are pushing for the former

Not as much as it used i’d say. They will restrict them from being openly gay and talking about certain stuff but i dont see concentration camps happening any time soon. We are experiencing a new kind of fascism, a progressive fascism which play the same roles of “the civilized world needing to conquer and lecture the uncivilized world”. But this time, “progressive” politicians sprinkle gay rights into the equation where being part of the civillised world means “showing off” your gay rights and inclusivety ,these things by themselves are not wrong but are currently being used as excuses to invade other countries/ finance terrorists/ militants of political opponents. Now, even the “progressive” democrats are using terms and language that Nazis and Colonizers have used to justify their imperialism.

“they are barbarian and killed each other, therefore we need to intervene”

“they are bigots and executed each other, therefore we need to intervene”

It has all the same root.

Imagine ID politics to be like a wheel; sometimes a minority group happens to be at the top of the wheel, briefly; but the wheel always turns.

This may be a naïve question, but is there any forseeable route of Fascism in which Trans people are NOT explicitly seen as “lesser than” or “unnatural” and are treated normal? It seems to be the overwhelming trend among the Dangerously Far Right. Obviously this form would still be Fascist and disgusting in its own right, but I can’t imagine it.

Yes, it’s called pinkwashing. Israel does it, despite it having repealed some lgbt+ laws

That’s sorta where my question leads: are these laws going to keep being repealed until trans people are explicitly targets? I guess we can’t know that yet, but it seems to be the route they’re going lately

When they run out of targets, they’ll just make up new ones.
