"He regarded women and men as naturally and essentially different in complimentary ways that lead to reproduction, and believed anyone who did not fit the stereotypes of their gender such as inverts should be removed from the reproductive stream."
sex realism = eugenics
quote is about Richard von Krafft-Ebing

You can't be an ally to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual people if you are a "sex realist" it's indivisible with pathologization of homosexuality as mental illness

Eugenics is invested in controlling reproduction and it does this by focusing on differences to dehumanize
Concerns about gender-affirming care is explicitly concern about controlling reproduction; they fear-monger specifically about people becoming sterilized

It's always white supremacists who want more white babies most invested; whether it's "sex" or "race" realism
#Eugenics
This isn't particularly new in Feminism

TERFs didn't make up "sex realism" it fits snugly in the tradition of white supremacist imperial colonialism

I like feminism that's critical of this history and aware of how it's been used and continues to be used for white supremacy, to be clear

I'm not explicitly anti-feminist but also not willing to ignore or excuse the evils of white feminism
These discussions of "sex realism" don't go directly to topics of how we structure societies and their future by accident

It's not a mistake that they want you to think about the future of all humanity when discussing this; our values, beliefs, and assumptions
#Eugenics
There's a reason they focus so heavily on "healthy families" and social structure

I can only assume the change in language is tied to a change in strategy

At this point they have enough support for their ideas they can just market them freely without needing to dogwhistle; emboldened by their arguments being featured on some of the largest platforms
[The term “trans” derives from the earlier term “invert,” used to describe anyone who would now identify as gay, lesbian, trans, or otherwise queer. In Psychopathia Sexualis, Richard von Krafft-Ebing developed the first taxonomical system of inversion.]
eugenicsarchive.ca/discover/conne…
"Havelock Ellis famously naturalized Krafft-Ebing’s psychiatric category of inversion. Ellis was a eugenicist"

"Ellis’s naturalistic account of inversion eventually led to the creation of the terms “transvestite” by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld and “transsexual” by Dr. Harry Benjamin"
"One of the consistent facets of eugenics over time and place has been an interest in regulating sexual behavior, sexual orientation, and gender expression. Indeed, this is one area in which the insidious quest of normalization associated with eugenics movement is very evident."
"Ellis concurred with the notion that there was a system of racial hierarchies, and that non-western cultures were considered to be "lower races". ... he used the prevalence of homosexuality in these 'lower races' to indicate the universality of the behavior."

When we unmasked and stopped isolating these are the kinds of people we affirmed

We told them they are right to be entitled and aggrieved; society gave them every excuse to be the worst version of themselves

They won't ever forget that their worst instincts are state-approved
We told them their comfort and luxury was worth the lives of others

They reacted in the most selfish and dehumanizing manner blaming the "weak and the old" and the state/media gave them every excuse to continue
Now even those who truly cared have been worn down by the current of popular culture telling them they are to be mocked in public, to be othered for their desire to protect people from harm

I searched for ABA content on Twitter for a couple years and this analysis lines up pretty well with what I’ve seen.

The positive and neutral content on ABA flounders because those accounts aren’t actually interacting with anyone they are just non-profit employees filling quotas
The motivations for the study seem pretty transparently political(seperate from clinical work, techniques etc.)

Problem is that the dataset sucks it’s filled by these non-profits talking into a void filling out their checklist for media interactions
Overall the biggest problem with ABA isn’t that people are rightfully calling it out as abusive and getting a bad reputation

It’s that the practice is so far removed from therapy or medical establishments to remain relevant

"By 1948, euthanasia doctors and nurses began to receive reduced sentences and acquittals as they became viewed as subjective accomplices of the Nazi state rather than perpetrators and murderers. In other words, the courts and society did not see them as evil to the core."
"On top of clemency for those tried in court, most doctors and nurses involved in euthanasia continued to work in the medical profession without even being barred from practice."
"In fact, as perpetrators (of involuntary euthanasia) were continuously acquitted and retained their status, disabled individuals continued to be stigmatized through persistent eugenic thinking and lack of reparations."

There's 2 possible positions on Minister Lametti's comments encouraging the use of #MAID for suicide

He doesn't understand #MAID (in which case his tabling of #BillC7 is in serious question)

or

#MAID is a valid response to suicidal ideation sometimes
thestar.com/politics/provi…
You can't both suggest that Minister Lametti understands #MAID and also that isn't a valid response to suicidal ideation (at least under "certain conditions")

He's the one who tabled the amendments we are discussing
You either believe he is unfit for office and bypassed parliamentary procedure without understanding his actions

or

You believe #MAID should used as a "cure" for suicidal ideations(at least for Disabled/Mad people)

@DWDCanada which one is it?

A lot of the people feigning disgust at people in #LegislatedPoverty accessing #MAID have never opened their mouth to advocate for better support

If you think this is the responsibility of one party you really haven't been paying attention
Don't ever thank these people for the crumbs of attention they give MAID

Don't praise politicians for giving you scraps

You are not to discuss the undesirables in public, never to speak to them as humans

We only discuss them in the abstract, as a burden to those "moving on" from #SARSCoV2
#Eugenics
When researchers said #SARSCoV2 infects primarily disabled, racialized peoples the establishment started talking about protecting "the economy"

An economy without the people who would be most protected by infection control measures

Racially-motivated, Ableist #Eugenics
