Disabled people also getting far more shit now than they did a few years ago. And disabled people are a traditional enemy of Nazis as are trans people (all LGBT+ people in fact).It really really upsets and frightens me how normalised people being openly Nazi has become. I mean, Jews won't get it in the neck first if there's a second Holocaust, it'll be Muslims or trans people, but we won't be far off.
All the people defending Power are ignoring the fact she said she was a fucking Nazi.
First and foremost, people with intellectual disabilities. It's rarely in the news but they're already treated like shit and often the last to be considered even in ~disability rights~ circles.Disabled people also getting far more shit now than they did a few years ago.

Yeah, think ODW was her only or at least her main pre-crank book, but think she was part of that whole Fisher/Reynolds blogging scene, wrote various articles and things - I remember this being really good, for instance. And I've got a Freedom Press collection of anti-work essays that she did an intro for, so there's an answer to a niche pub quiz question about "what links Freedom Press with Mein Kampf?" She was very involved with the 2010-era anti-fees stuff as well.What is her pre-boring crank reputation based on? I read One Dimensional Woman years ago and it was alright from what I remember but I didn't get a lot from it, I don't know about anything else she did though.
I'm pretty sure Russian bots make a lot of TERFery online as it's a great wedge to split the left with.Because Putin is a big JKR supporter and Russia hates trans people. Mind you, it's not much fun for cis women but your average TERF won't care about that.
Autistic people often seem happy to throw other autistic people, who don't meet their personal standards, under the bus.First and foremost, people with intellectual disabilities.

I also hate the 'autistic kids can't be trans' thing…

Maybe you had to be there I never really followed that stuff apart from reading Power's book and the Mark Fisher one (which I felt the same about as Power's to be honest), and maybe the contrast with the stuff she writes now makes her earlier work seem more radical or important somehow. Anyway doesn't really matter, obviously if you found it valuable fair enough!Also, just revisiting the Nina Power stuff, a lot of it is really dark but this properly made me laugh out loud:

At this point, I really thought that everything there was to be said about that Vampire Castle essay, positive or negative, had already been said, but fair play, I don't think anyone else has come out with "Mark Fisher was writing to warn people about real actual literal vampires who vant to suck your blood."

Yep. I'm autistic, I identify as disabled. Mate crime is apparently on the increase with autistic people.Disabled people also getting far more shit now than they did a few years ago. And disabled people are a traditional enemy of Nazis as are trans people (all LGBT+ people in fact).
Have to say this is my experience of M*msnet, on which I lurk but don't post.ETA: Cloo, there is a Sex and Gender subforum but the trans shit gets EVERYWHERE. It even gets into pet threads. AIBU is full of anti-trans crap, Scotsnet is full of it as well because they hate the SNP there. Black Mumsnet isn't - some of them are GC but they're generally sick of the racism on FWR and the support for the far right.
here's a thread on there which is basically personal abuse aimed at me, and none of it remotely accurate, or rooted in any kind of reality. Lots of insinuating that i'm a pedo or a rapey male by people i've never even met.Have to say this is my experience of M*msnet, on which I lurk but don't post.
It's an enormous, highly influential forum - e.g. they get high-ranking political figures coming along for Q&As, it's a household name, etc. I do find some of the posts verge on hate speech, maybe not even 'verge on' and wonder if more should be done about that.

it says nothing of the sortThis is fucking mental considering all the evidence suggests affirmative care is the only one that works. If America is against it then its going to impact globally. That's a lot suffering ahead for trans people.

similar issues also explain the different patterns in ages of coming out of those who are not (diagnosed or do not meet the diagnostic criteria) neurodiverse and their abilities or otherwise at masking plus learned behaviours etc.I think too much is made of this autism/trans crossover. I knew someone who researched this and she described it as a "slight blip" of transgender among autistic people compared to the general population, easily explainable just by the fact that we autistic people know ourselves very well, and we do not compromise, because compromise makes us ill.
Christian Concern don;t go for winnable they go for maximum painting themselves as victims , they;ve lost so many cases i nthe past usuually those where people get sacked for evangelising , but they also put up Contranthe to represent ' Keira' Bell in the case against GIDS that got overturned at appealIck. I expect they have assessed that it is a winnable fight.
Just because it's good to see. Here's a thread from Xwitter featuring Wizard Lady getting absolutely fucking rinsed by someone who brings the receipts.
