This article is a year old but probably even more relevant now*How the far-right is turning feminists into fascists*The terrifying confluence of anti-trans thinkers, American evangelicals, anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists and global purveyors of dark money poses a much bigger threat than you might realizehttps://xtramagazine.com/power/far-right-feminist-fascist-220810

"I’m frightened for myself, but I’m more frightened because the longer I look at this, the more I concur with gender theorist Judith Butler that trans people might not be the point of anti-trans fascism at all; we are simply the most popular means by which facists “concoct a world of multiple imminent threats to make the case for authoritarian rule and censorship.”

@AndyPerfors this makes the most sense of anything I’ve seen on the subject. It may also explain why anti-trans is so heavily pushed on Twitter, TikTok, and parts of the Fediverse: authoritarian / autocratic governments find support in other authoritarian / autocratic governments, and it makes sense that such states would sanction this type of propaganda.
