Le Pouls Du Monde

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesSo as I mentioned yesterday, I'd like to share this Majority Report interview with trans actress Laverne Cox about the fascist assault on trans rights, the dehumanization of trans people, and how what I've come to define as the anti-trans pogrom fits in to the larger capitalist, patriarchal, white supremacist, and ultimately fascist project. While Cox is a well informed, focused, and insightful guest that's worth listening to in any setting, as a trans woman one of the things I liked best about this interview is how the two cisgender hosts of the show allowed her to control the discussion and ultimately create a conversation that I think is equally valuable for trans people, other members of the LGBTQ community, and cis-het folks who want to serve as accomplices, not just allies, for a trans community in the fascist crosshairs as we speak. Cox and the hosts discuss the recent history of anti-trans legislation, the larger fascist quest to eras trans people in public life, and how dehumanizing language and anti-trans propaganda serve as a permission structure for both eliminating trans people's civil rights and further dehumanization. They also talk about the reality that this project to justify and create the anti-trans pogrom is a well-funded, highly coordinated endeavor with architects across the entire American right, as demonstrated by the fact that almost everything to demonize, oppress, and erase trans people that GOP fascists have accomplished since Trump took office, was laid out in advance in Project 2025. Cox even articulates what most trans people already know in their hearts but many cis liberals treating us like a political football don't seem to understand; that the path the fascists are adopting here may lead to the genocide of trans people. The group then shifts focus to talk about the relationship between the anti-trans pogrom, white supremacist patriarchal Christian Nationalism, and a larger fascist project that ultimately serves to enrich and empower predatory capital. Cox notes that what folks who aren't on the firing lines call a "culture war" is really about civil rights for those who are. The gang points out that policing of trans people in public life, is really just an extension of an ideology that views women as property, and that opens up a pathway to gendered power dynamics and enforced policies that harm *all* women, not just trans women. As both Cox and Vigland note, the fact that dehumanizing anti-trans propaganda ultimately serves as the thin end of the wedge for this larger fascist project and touches on other forms of targeted oppression towards non-white people, women, migrants, and young people, means that taking about the anti-trans pogrom is not a distraction, but rather a vital step towards defending us all from fascism. Finally Cox talks about the importance of folks who support trans people actually rehumanizing trans folks in the broader culture, why allowing the right to force the discussion into a lens of medicalization is an unworkable strategy, and why nobody who isn't trying to get trans people murdered should be "consorting with the likes of Charlie Kirk." In a moment that may come as a surprise to cis people, she points out that even conceding to the idea that trans identities, trans rights, or trans existence are topics to debate, is an unacceptable level of dehumanization and helps the fascist cause. As Cox poignantly notes, "there is no middle ground when someone wants you extinguished."

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesI'm probably preaching to the choir by posting this on the fediverse, but given the now abundantly clear primacy of transphobia as a permission gate and recruiting tool for the larger fascist project, and the fact that much of the liberal establishment is no longer pushing back on anti-trans propaganda (indeed, some highly influential folks are actually pushing the narrative that even tepid pushback against anti-trans propaganda is why Trump won the election), assuming everyone who isn't a fascist *already*knows this is a moral panic designed to push a trans-eliminationist agenda, seems like the least good option going forward. If the video I'm sharing with you here seems like old news to you, maybe consider sharing it with people in your life who aren't as politically engaged as you are because believe me, all the evidence is saying they do *not* already know this shit.In this lengthy episode of Some More News, Cody and the crew talk about why trans people are real human beings just like everyone else, debunk the garbage "science" transphobes are using to push an anti-trans pogrom, point out that the social contagion theory of why trans people exist is obviously a moral panic, discuss how rare voluntary detransitioning really is, and how anti-trans activists are being given a massively outsized voice in this discussion given that it's literally the same handful of people, talk about how fascists are actively engendering anti-trans hate as a skeleton key for pushing a wider fascist political agenda, and even tackle why the anti-trans pogrom appears to be working as a strategy for the fascists to accomplish that goal. It's a lot of information to take in, but Cody keeps the discussion fast-paced and entertaining; and obviously a mainstream media complex that has decided to abandon trans people to their fate at the hands of fascists who mean to erase us (both figuratively and literally, by murdering trans people) isn't going to tell you this stuff anymore.Some More News: Trans People Are Real and Detransitioning Isn't That Common<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlkBa7ooUN4" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlkBa7ooUN4</a><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TransRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiTransPogrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntiTransPogrom</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MoralPanic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MoralPanic</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Transphobia</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Hatemongering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hatemongering</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a>
