[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- you could substitute any type of activism here. I have a friend who is an activist for animal rights, it can come across the same way. If people want to have normal, adult friendships, they should use their emotional intelligence and be able to discuss other topics. 
Happy to support someone in their cause, but some people become their cause, and it can be difficult to spend time with them.[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing.  During the holocaust Jews wouldn’t stop complaining about concentration camps being and during slavery those damn slaves kept trying to obtain freedom. If certain groups of people would just accept that they are inferior it would make it much easier to like them.  [/quote]

Perfect example of Godwin’s law in this thread.., 🙃[/quote]

The Nazi’s started by burning books at the institute of sexology.  This was the first place transgender bottom surgery was performed and it was the leading research institutes in the world into LGBT issues at the time.  Later, the Nazi’s began arresting LGBT people and placing them into concentration camps.  This was YEARS before Jewish people were being persecuted by Nazi’s.  Now we see books being banned in FL and laws making it so you can’t say gay “for the kids up to third grade”.  “Oh did we say third grade?  We meant all of high school.”  While it does not parallel Nazi’s precisely, DeSantis absolutely has that type of propensity inside of him.[/quote]

Again, what happened in Nazi Germany was not all about you. Indeed, I doubt the transgender people in Nazi Germany thought that they were women. They were gay men, some of whom crossdressed.

What happened to them was an atrocity. It is not a story you get to appropriate because Florida and, again, it's highly offensive that you try.

Dos Santis is a monster with or without his attack on trans medical services. Sadly, he is a smart monster who knows he can tribalize people quite easy with social issues like this, as you're always willing to go to the mat to defend drag queen storytime and bathrooms.

Neither of which matter, btw. If you want to return to Godwin, I have to point out Hitler gained a lot of ground with ridiculous culture wars too. The example you "should" take from history is not that you are yet another person in a long line who are the most persecuted ever (which is also not true), but that one does not win fighting monsters on their own turf.

Change the narrative. Dos Santis is going after health care, he is corrupt AF, has the personal morals of an alley cat, has extremely dodgy funding, doesn't practice any of the traditional values he preaches, etc. Etc.

You win by attacking here, not playing the victim. And it is playing, for you. You're not in Florda, right? [/quote]

DP who doesn’t really feel comfortable with comparing modern FL politics to the Holocaust but I want to correct you: there are trans people in Nazi Germany, some of whom were (not “thought they were”) women.  Again, I don’t think WWII comparisons are necessary helpful or accurate but please don’t disrespect the LGBTQ+ history of the Weimar Republic and the people who were prosecuted there.
