    It’s “funny” how this was a complete non-issue here in France, but when the American right made trans people their next target after their abortion win, it suddenly became a huge problem for the French right as well.

    These people constantly complain about American cultural hegemony, but they still make an exception for Trump and this kind of shit. Out of all the cool things coming out of the US, this is what you tolerate? I’m so sick of these spiteful assholes…

      So much this. Our rightwing is hellbent on importing every single moral panic from the US to detract from their blunders and authoritarianism.

      i don’t think it’s so much americans as it is the rise of the european populist far right seizing upon a vulnerable minority to get into power.

      yes they share a lot of the same funding, but you shouldn’t ignore europe’s role in this

        Sure, but from where I am it sure seems like they became the main target. Anti-trans rethoric picked up a lot in the last few months.

      As if liberals and socialists haven’t tossed everything else aside to try and be as ‘good’ as possible by the standards of the american left/liberals twitter brigade
