Fascists: Interrupting drag shows since 1938!
Actually
notit’s complicated.
Fascinating as it may sound, transvestites were mostly allowed in the third reich, when they weren’t homosexual.The even got their own pass:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transvestite_passAfter reading the German and English version I am a little puzzled, since the German version says, that they were kept and transvestites stayed unharmed when not homosexual while the English version says:
After the Nazis came to power, most passes were revoked or German police refused to recognize them.
The German original source says the following:
Sofern Trans*personen den „gegen sie erhobenen Homosexualitätsverdacht entkräften konnten, lässt sich in keinem Fall eine Strafverfolgung nachweisen. "
Which translates to:
If trans*persons “could invalidate the suspicion of homosexuality, there is no evidence of criminal prosecution.”
This is somehow more intimidating than uniforms.
I prefer more drag, less death and suffering.
But not more fascists either, which presents a dilemma.
I just like dead fascists I can’t help it.
I just hate suffering so much, even the suffering of those deliberately causing suffering. It’s a weird philosophical paradox I struggle with and I’m not sure how to resolve it.
Well you’re better than me because I have definitely relished in the suffering of those who’ve caused suffering. World needs less of me tbh.
I don’t think it’s “better”, necessarily. It’s partly a protective measure against empathising with people who cause suffering. Because I don’t want to suffer.
Aggression against people who cause suffering is a different protection mechanism, and we are both just products of our experiences.
The world needs more people who can engage with self-awareness and evaluating their motives and actions, which you seem able to do. I wish you no suffering!
Having both types of people is important to a healthy society. The world needs paladins, those willing to wield violence in the pursuit of justice. A society without them would be ripe for strongarming by anyone with a loose set of morals and empty pockets. But we also need people like you, to keep us in check, so that the whole world might not go blind from our eye for an eye.
