Brynn Tannehill: "The Trumpist movement is undoubtedly fascist. This is the only conclusion of how to describe what this movement is, that it goes beyond simple right wing populism. The end stage goal is they want as few trans people as possible. One of the overwhelming characteristics of fascism is also a disdain for and hatred of human rights. Trans people are a convenient enemy for a fascist movement because it fits within prototypical fascism. 'We’re going to storm the Capitol and kill Mike Pence to get the kind of government that we want.' Their ideal number of trans people is zero. We can’t think that yes, we’ve won. No, this is an operational pause for the right."

Sam Goldman: The escalation and intensification of these horrific attacks on our transgender siblings by Republican fascists is just that a, fascist campaign, as Brynn has said. A horrific campaign that is not only harmful to the most vulnerable — we’re talking about children being targeted — is extremely harmful to transgender people, but also to society more broadly. And we’ve said before that what we allow, not only do we condone, but it’s who we become. And we cannot become people that allow these monstrosities. It’s on us, all of us, to expose them and denounce them in the strongest most vociferous terms.
