๐งต Antisemitism and Transphobia
Exploring similarities and through-lines between antismetic tropes and modern transphobia that I think need to be recognized with the resurgence of Neo-Nazi/fascism, and the acceleration of violence/legislation against trans people.

This thread was instigated by the recent murder of Brianna Ghey, a 16 year old trans child, and how she was represented in a transphobic cartoon that reminded me of antisemtic representation
Right wing conspiracies basically always come back to antisemitism and the "Jewish Question" usually coded behind dogwhistles and proxies; from interracial relationships (miscegenation) represented in media, to globalists pushing immigration to "replace" white people
Thanks to everyone who came. Brianna was an absolutely inspirational teenager, who will be missed by those who were blessed to know her. She was a hero.
The vigil was attended in the low thousands. We started off with speeches from different organising groups and let the streets know our rage and grief. We let the Tories know we knew who was responsible. Attendees lit candles, and added them to the growing shrines in her honour
But when Trans youth took up space and gave devastating speeches, they shook the city with their voices. They spoke, because who could possibly know better? They held nothing back.
