@zigg Being a Queer lady who has worked with refugees, seeing on the ground a rising institutional cruelty for all us unpersons being “trained up” in LEA culture into unaccountable, working practice?

Yes... I grok you here. It’s not just future supposition. It’s a tendency now.

@zigg People were all "oh no" when we found out Trump wouldn't let the next census have queer-related questions, but I was all "yay!" because I knew history. No sense in making the purge too easy on them, even if the data could do some good before it.

@Riley Yeah, people don't really think about data

It'd be really nice if we could get that data with a real anonymity guarantee but that would be super hard, with how easy it is to deanonymize data

@zigg I remember reading about how the census in one country (Austria?) had data on religion. Totally innocuous in intention. Just good old demographic data! And then the Nazis came knocking. Fortunately, the people responsible for the data tried destroying it and just about succeeded, so it didn't cause as much harm as it could have.

@Riley Oh my. I'm glad they were as successful as they were.

@SelfsameSynonym @zigg When TERFs reach their peak they segue naturally into nazi ideology

@zigg @SelfsameSynonym @Laurelai TERFs are a manifestation of fashie tedencies.

@codeawayhaley @SelfsameSynonym @zigg i promise you in the future that they will mutate into wanting naziism but with a woman in charge of it
