"Back in August of 2016 I created a list of 19 ways that the Nazis pushed Jews out of society[...] By my count, Republicans today are attempting to achieve all 19 of these effects but attacking trans people instead."

Ngl, this article paints a pretty grim future for America and especially for trans Americans.

I agreed with most of the opinion. However, I found myself often wishing the author had citations for their interpretation of current events.

The Trump administration has made it clear to companies with federal contracts that if any of their employees say anything bad about the administration, those companies will lose said contracts.

Here is one that is just generic enough that I can’t find much in terms of information. It would have been nice for the author to do that. Then again, perhaps would have been simply a bit too to manage for an opinion writer.

Accurate grim view for those of us who can’t leave.
