Comment on It’s a good thing they died at Gallipoli
Ilandar@aussie.zone 2 months agoI’m not sure what the point of this reply is. I never claimed that anti-war sentiment didn’t exist at the time. None of what you’ve just quoted has anything to do with my criticisms of your writing.
The Nazi state discriminated against all kinds of minorities, yet the one group you specifically chose to mention (other than the obvious choice of Jewish people) was trans people. It is very obvious why you chose that particular minority group, given how topical trans issues are in modern society. Attempting to sway people through this kind of emotional manipulation is lazy writing and only plays well to the echo chamber.

I mentioned trans people because I am trans. And because the very first Nazi book burning was of the texts from the Institute of Sex Research which concerned practices for trans healthcare. Attacking trans women was a high priority item on the Nazi agenda. And I paid attention to it, because all My articles are written from a trans perspective. People like Me have been writing from trans perspectives for a hundred thousand years. If you have not seen discussion of trans people until recently, it is because until recently we have been silenced. I am not some cisgender person pushing a political agenda (What agenda???), I’m a person living My own truth and speaking to that truth. It’s clear you have a problem with that. Perhaps it would serve you better not to explain what your problem with talking about people like Me is.

Not in this instance. You’re making sweeping and unfounded generalsations about very large and diverse groups of people with whom you have absolutely zero connection.
