Fascists are bad-faith actors. Bad-faith actors will undermine any system or institution they infiltrate for their own benefit and purposes. So our efforts should be in building systems and engaging in best practices to prevent bad-faith actors, such as fascists, from taking power. We should not be concerned by what fascists will do when we stand up to them, because they will do it anyway. And standing up to fascists does not make us fascists.
Gender affirming care is a collection of lifesaving medical treatments. Denying gender affirming care to trans people is to deny trans people the fundamental right to exist. So refusing to spread a targeted life-threatening disinformation campaign is not a arbitrary decision based on who is in charge. It is a strategic decision to defend life and liberty. This happened in Canada, but we should learn from this woman’s example here in the US.
