@fraying@xoxo.zone Hey, heads up: there's a more direct connection between the UK TERFs and Nazism.
There was a "It Could Happen Here" (podcast) episode, "The War on Trans People: Part 2, TERF Island" (2022 Mar 22), which explained that a very influential TERF, Jennifer Bilek, has been making the rounds with the argument that *surely* trans people couldn't be having the success fighting TERFs (esp in the US) by themselves. They must be secretly funded by shadowy billionaires.
As a Jewish person, you know exactly where this is going: the failure of TERFs to get much traction in the US must be (Bilek is preaching) the fault of The Jews.
The TERFs aren't merely going to bat for the Nazis. The TERFs, especially in the UK, are just straight up going Nazi.

@fraying@xoxo.zone @siderea@universeodon.com Also let’s not forget how Helen Joyce talked about the number of trans people needing to be “kept down” and “the fewer of those people there are the better in the sane world that I hope we will reach” (documented for instance here https://www.discourseblog.com/p/the-terf-mask-is-off ).
