Alito's draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage). He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not "deeply rooted in history."

They don't need to pretend, they "know." Patriarchal information control has worked and continues to work. The first nazi book burning was of trans and gay books, and rightists want it to happen again
"books" is too vague. medical records. they burned a wealth of studies that had been done on the first bottom surgeries, initial HRT trials, sexual health, contraception, gynecology, abortion, and the like. we could have had all this stuff 50 years earlier.
like did you know that the first use for estrogen derived from horse urine - the world's first contraceptive - was originally developed to help trans women transition? it was only later that it was discovered to halt the menstrual cycle in cis women's bodies - some 30 years later because the research that demonstrated its efficacy and safety(*) was burned with the institute that made these early strides.
if only Europe had remained a backwater...
(*): for cis women - please don't take premarin/diane if you're trans. we need doses that are too high so the risk of blood clots is extreme. bioidentical estradiol should be your primary method of transition.
Wow I didn't know all that. Thanks for this.
:gold-anarchist:
So absolutely fucked that all this is conviently never mentioned when the Nazism is taught about, they just say that the Nazis burned books that they disagreed with. It took me until my mid twenties, several years into my transition, to even fucking hear about Hirschfeld's institute for the first time.
