I assume these idiots are only making noise about "protecting women" now because it's code for "eliminate trans people".

[–] toomanypancakes@crazypeople.online 79 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Correct, they have never at any point actually cared about what happens to women. Whenever a conservative talks about protecting something it means "I am trying to hurt people I dislike".

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They care about what happens to women. For example, they don't want them to vote.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

And they want them to make (white) babies.

and see them as incubators.

Unfortunately trans people are just one of the many starts.

Fascism doesn't love any of us.

Yep, it'll become protect women from abortion, protect (white) women from black and brown men, and eventually protect women from freedom.

It already is, though. Look at abortion, specifically.

First they came for...

They were also making noise about "protecting trans people" back when it meant "eliminate middle-easterners." So I fully expect next step is going after women even harsher than before.

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh weird, I missed that bit. It's so hard now to imagine them saying something positive about trans people, but they'll say anything that's convenient in the moment...

But yeah, they'll find a new boogeyman at some point and go back to openly hating women, no doubt.

It was very brief in the wake of the Pulse massacre

It's also code for "wipe out abortion," because there is always a non-zero chance of medical procedures having complications and psychological ramifications.

New "White Lives Matter" just dropped.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

WHite lives matters dint have the effect they wanted because it was already naturally raicst and it wasnt "inclusives" to minorities that were also conservative. they just mostly stuck with "woke" and anti-trans.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup!

Just like they coopted "my body my choice" to justify not getting the covid vaccine 🙄

Last I heard, though, abortions weren't extremely contagious. Sure as hell were never a global health emergency.

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Ugh I hated that one.

[–] marighost@piefed.social 12 points 2 days ago

Same kind of shit when they yell "protect kids!!" when the GOP&co is raping them.
