Let me make it perfectly clear, if you support any government, you're an idiot. But if you support a government that practices trans and queer erasure, then you absolutely do not support trans or queer folk.

further response.

this is just straight tankie bullshit. either you support trans people without exception or qualification, or you're a transphobe. if you support something or someone who does not support trans rights without exception or qualification, you're also a transphobe.

THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.

Ok right but you get that like Denmark (I think), the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia and others all ran or run eugenics programs to annihilate trans people right?

So if you're ever like "I think that in the Netherlands they do criminal justice and reform better" are you supporting trans eugenics? The government that claims dominion over me in Australia made me get steralised and then inspected twice to confirm it. I still think that the pharmaceutical benefits scheme is a good program.

Before you cry tankie, I am an anarchist. You seem unreasonable in this interaction, all nation states are horrible atrocity machines.

I’m not gonna hold something against someone that their ancestors did. None of those countries are running a eugenics program anymore. Neither is Germany.

But the anti-trans agenda that the US/UK/Russia/China are engaging in, that’s happening today. Right this very moment.

Australia might me. My state stopped a few months ago. We still don't get covered healthcare.

edit: I just want to point out stuff like this, and that for example Australia runs offshore detention camps which restrict media and medical access and are run by a private company. The UN has condemned these camps, and it's pretty clear that they are not only violations of treaties Australia has ratified on the treatment of refugees but also crimes against humanity on par with concentration camps of despotic regimes. These camps were opened by the center left political party and enjoy popular support. This is just one example among many horrific, abusive programs.

Your impression of how states can be ranked morally is probably more a result of the propaganda you consume than a reflection of reality. While I find myself in opposition to nation states, and wish to see them replaced with radically different systems of large scale organisation that doesn't mean every state program is evil. It is also true that most people do evil in what they feel is response to so called political "realities". The labor government here would say they have to maintain the camps as the people support them, of course though once committing to maintaining them they then reenforce their legitimacy.
