The far-right's dehumanization of trans people is similar to the Nazi's treatment of Jewish people. Both treat marginalized people as “internal enemies” and use propaganda and laws to turn society against them.

Or, you know, it’s similar to the Nazis’ treatment of trans people

This is news? [The Forgotten History of the World's First Trans Clinic - Scientific American](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-forgotten-history-of-the-worlds-first-trans-clinic/)

The nazi's didn't start with the gas chambers but they got there. https://truthout.org/articles/kansas-invalidates-transgender-peoples-ids-after-gop-legislature-passes-new-law/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=437238503&gbraid=0AAAAADbftBmXOK3DjDdyNfAvowWsSSpju&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm6POBhCrARIsAIG58CJETtniEaYPu-thZp0eKkRj_rwruwpGw4bTv-eWUYJ0dn9cPlc_9X4aAr12EALw_wcB https://idahocapitalsun.com/2026/03/27/idaho-legislature-passes-bill-to-criminalize-trans-people-using-preferred-bathrooms/

The far-right's dehumanization of trans people is even more similar to the Nazi's treatment of trans people

People are aware that the nazis targeted trans people right? One of the first thing they did was attack the institute of sexual science, burned any and all research they could find and imprisoned trans people in concentration camps. Its important to not forget this part of history

And what’s even more pathetic is that there are so many “liberals” who are willing to throw trans people under the bus as soon as it’s expedient. 

We have a rapist as president and no 1 bats an eye. We even follow a rapists orders. Edit - don’t ever expect a rapist to put anyone other then themselves first, consent is not in their dictionary:)

I know they are technically the same, but many Americans hear "far-right" and do not think "republicans," which is why it's important to frame these things properly. Republicans are the ones dehumanizing trans people. Republicans are the ones acting like nazis. It's republicans. 

From the Holocaust Museum: "antisemitism was a central part of Nazi ideology. Once the Nazis controlled the German government, they used their power to persecute Jews in Germany. In the 1930s, the Nazis discriminated against Jews. They excluded them from German society. They boycotted and confiscated Jewish-owned businesses. They passed discriminatory laws, such as the Nuremberg Race Laws. They attacked Jews in a nationwide riot called “Kristallnacht,” or the “Night of Broken Glass.” The goal of these policies was to make life in Germany so unbearable that German Jews would choose to emigrate. The Nazis’ ultimate aim was to make Germany “cleansed of Jews” (judenrein). The Nazis’ efforts to persecute Jews became more radical over time."

It's also quite similar to the way they treated Trans people too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_transgender_people_in_Nazi_Germany The Nazis killed everyone, not just Jews. The killed gypsies, blacks, gays, intellectuals, teachers, musicians, scientists, Catholics, Muslims, and more.

Trans people make up like .5% of the population. Jews were .5% of the German population pre World War Two If you’re willing to throw trans people to the side for the greater good, I know exactly the type of person you would’ve been in nazi germany 

MAGA: TRANSVIOLENCE *People identified as trans in mass shootings is less than 0.1%* MAGA: TRANSVIOLENCE ANYWAY

What's worrying is that it isn't even just the far right. The f****** left is doing this bullshit as well. What do these pricks have against trans people? They make up such a tiny percentage of the population and the almost all of them are just trying to live their lives as f****** equals

>Donald Trump’s actions by scapegoating and stereotyping targeted groups are intended to harden his appeal of his base of support for his failed policies and increasingly failing presidency. >Throughout history, autocratic regimes, especially authoritarian or populist ones on the far left and the far right, have demonized what they have determined to represent their nations’ “internal enemies,” foes who, if left to thrive, would undermine the security and very existence of these societies. >The [Gnomon Wise Research Institute](https://gnomonwise.org/public/en/publications/analytics/287) discusses the realities of “dehumanization,” writing, “Dehumanization, as a psychological and socio-political process, represents one of the most destructive phenomena in human history. It involves the denial of attributes that define individuals or social groups as human, thereby devaluing their moral status and legitimizing violence and cruelty against them.” >Professor [Nicholas Haslam](https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/profile/6837-nicholas-haslam) of Melbourne University has identified two specific forms of dehumanization exploited by authoritarian regimes. >The first of these he terms “animalistic dehumanization,” which represents the targeted group as lacking uniquely human traits such as rationality, morality, self-control, and a culture. Stripping away these attributes from groups presents them as lower forms of life: as rats, monkeys, pigs, disease-bearing insects, as primitive and dangerous creatures to be exterminated. Or they are seen as physically and psychologically diseased, or as delusional. >In 2026, anti-trans bills continue to be introduced across the country. These bills include anything from excluding trans people from receiving basic healthcare services, excluding them from classifications in civil and human rights protections, excluding them from participation in sports activities and teams other than those matching their sex assigned at birth, and excluding them from using public facilities other than those matching their birth sex. This exclusion from education, from legal recognition, and from social institutions, in fact, excludes them from the right to exist in civil society. >As fascists have scapegoated and targeted Jews and other groups, neo-fascists in the United States and other Western countries are targeting immigrants of color, Muslims, Jews, homosexuals, transgender people, communists, socialists, and all progressives, labeling them as being the causes of all the evils of their nations. >The often-quoted expression that “history doesn’t repeat but echoes” (often cited as “history rhymes”) proposes that though literal events rarely reappear, comparable patterns, themes, and human behaviors re-emerge over time. This notion highlights the point that studying the past affords us with insights into current developments and issues and alerts us to identify warning signs while learning from past mistakes. >The United States, by targeting members of our transgender communities and other marginalized groups, is treading down the path of our past mistakes.  

It’s a heavy comparison, but historians and advocates have been pointing out these specific structural parallels for a while. The internal enemy narrative is a classic authoritarian tactic, find a small, vulnerable group, claim they are a threat to traditional values or the children, and use that fear to pass restrictive laws.

Trans are people and they’re 1% of the population, republicans are bullying the minority and using them as a distraction from all the problems the GOP has

Its not just trans people being dehumanized. Immigrants, black americans, homosexuals, autistic people, all are being treated as less than human by modern (maga) conservatives.

Yeah.  Weve known this for a long time.

I’m Canadian. I’ve emailed my MP (Member of Parliament - similar to a House rep) to suggest that we implement a special refugee visa for LGBTQ+ people needing to flee the madness, the persecution and the bigotry, in the US. Postibg this to encourage my fellow Canucks to do the same. 🇨🇦

Never mind the dehumanization of people overall. Attacks on citizen and non-citizen alike.

Yes hate is historically cyclical. Not the first time won’t be the last.

Conservatives have nothing useful or relevant to offer, just lies and hate. Enemies are required for them to pretend to participate while looking for ways to betray. They just keep looking for "others" to attack, bringing constant evil and failure. They keep running out of groups to marginalize as societies continue to evolve and reject many of the evils of the past, but found that enough people are willing to overlook attacks on trans people that they get to enact some of their desire for oppression and human suffering on others.

They only just figured this out? Discrimination flavour of the month rotates around the gays, the Jews, the Muslims, the women, the trans people, the homeless people, the brown people, etc.

Or how Israel is treating people of Gaza.

Just like the gays, just like black people, just like irish and all the others.  This shit is so predictable. Republicans are so predictable. 

... and the same as Israelis treatment of Palestinians

Christian compassion everybody. Throw stones while you gotem

Yes. Trump-Nazi Regime is following Hitler's playbook exactly. F****** stupid supporters will get us all killed.

Persecution complex

Really? I mean, long before they started just straight up murdering Jews, they were stealing Jewish property, banning Jews from working, removing Jewish citizenship, and banning Jews from institutions. It didn’t matter if Jews looked Jewish, practiced Judaism, or even just had a Jewish parent. No, I don’t agree with how the right treats trans people, but do not suggest, for an instant, that it’s the same as Nazi Germany’s treatment of the Jews.

I would have thought the far right’s dehumanisation of Jewish people was similar to the Nazis dehumanisation of Jewish people

What a dumb article

Yeah, and we've been saying it for a long time. I really hope people plan to start listening before they wipe us out.

Transphobia is not acceptable

It should be studied why the sliding scale of major war or economic destruction always ends with the prevalence of trans people. It’s like once they finally get rights, it’s too much for the other side to handle

Killing them in ovens by the millions isnt the same as banning men from women's bathrooms. Stop, get some help.

That's not even close to what the Nazis did, whiny people!

Except for the big difference of not rounding them up and murdering them. Kind of and important distinction that makes it vastly different

Illegal aliens sounds pretty unhuman

You know who else treats LGBTQ people like that? The Islamic Republic of Iran, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, the far right heroes of the far left. When are leftists going to learn that they are supporting a far right cause? It makes no sense to support these groups that are essentially not that different from MAGA, ISIS and the nazis. Supporting those causes is a betrayal of leftist values and of the victims of those movements.

Liberals are busy dehumanizing Jews left and right. So shut up because your constant comparisons of things you hate to nazism, fascism and genocide is an insult to all that the Jews have and continue to go through.

Extreme exaggeration.

It’s actually way more similar to the Zionist’s treatment of Palestinian people.
