khave grown to detest the idea of doing something to be on “the right side of history” many of these types are motivated by. Only history itself can make that judgement. It wouldn’t be until after WWII that the non saluting man would probably be considered as silently heroic as Tank Man by the majority. Guarantee most of the people that say this would’ve been saluting too in the average 1930s German’s shoes, even if it was to save face or life during a regime that demanded compliance. If many of them are saying what they say about JKR while still having a bunch of HP merch in their closets to look “good” or gain social cred, they’re not that different.
Trans ideology was until very recently actively assimilated into corporate boardrooms and HR policies, and is still present in many official settings despite the broad backlash. I don't know how often I need to scream it but hey, all you tranny "communists" out there, if you actually read Gramsci you should know that by definition the subaltern cannot be in the hegemonic bloc. If you’ve been absorbed into the governing order, say by gaining institutional backing of your positions (see the UK in particular), you are no longer the oppressed voiceless margins, you are no longer the brave counterpoint refusing to salute with all the Nazis. You are part of the faceless mass, you are part of the superstructure!
Think about how hard it is to generate a backlash like troons are experiencing right now after close to 2 decades of increasing protection by public and private institutions. Usually integration goes the opposite way, people interact with a group that they hold prejudice against and it humanizes them. Personal contact with trans people is often alienating instead, people hate them more
after interacting with them. So much of trans ideology is just this:
She's quoting hitler again. Queen of Fascism confirmed.
Specifically the bit about slogans and tropes, which I can only describe using the Colbert word "Truthiness". It relies on hitting specific cultural buttons relates to gay rights, civil rights, and feminism, to imply a coherent and moral viewpoint. It depends on essentially hijacking empathetic pathways that people have in them already to gain supporters. But from what defines a trans person, to what constitutes aid or healthcare, to even what constitutes violence against them, it all sits in fog. Even their use of statistics is the same, always broad level, never any investigation into details, like any examination of things like with outcomes of trans "healthcare" that aren't about immediate satisfaction rates. It's a plausibly vague sounding story they train their allies into thinking by default.
It wasn't her choice. J.K. Rowling was told to go by her initials by her publishers, because they assumed that boys wouldn't read a female author.
One of my favorite authors, C. J Cherryh (real name Carolyn Janice Cherry), has that as her pen name because publishers thought the name Cherry was too girly and men would not buy her sci-fi books.
