Reply To: We Need a Movement for Trans Lives

I seem to recall from history lessons that yours was the strategy employed by many Jewish people in 1930s Germany. Given that trans-haters are often the same kind of people who gained power in that state, I doubt that using the same response will be any more successful.

An old, dark joke told by some Jewish people even today: Two Jews are blindfolded against a wall facing a firing squad. One says to the other, “I’m going to ask for a cigarette.” The other replies, “Shhh, don’t make trouble!”
