Mental Health @lemmy.world

What gives you hope?

  • It’s usually TERFs, not MAGAs. It’s a Rowling thing.

    It’s based on the fact that Erwin Gohrbandt did help in the first vaginoplasty ever performed on Dora Richter. Gohrbandt went on to participate in medical atrocities at Dachau. He was not the leader of the Institute of Sexual Research, he just participated in a surgery there.

    From this one fact, the story spins out of control. I have seen multiple people claim that the Nazis invented the “transvestite passes” that were available for trans people in the Weimar Republic. This is a disgusting lie, because the Nazis in fact revoked these passes and used them as a means to track down and murder transgender people.

    This is also an attempt associate transgender surgery by with medical experiments (really just murder, the only thing even close to scientific was the hypothermia research) done at places like Aushwitz and Dachau.

    Rowling is as much as a Holocaust denier as David Irving is. It’s not different from the “there were swimming pools at Auschwitz crowd!” They are lying deliberately for political reasons.

    I believe that there is a concerted effort by a group to spread this narrative on tumblr especially. I have seen it posted by multiple unconnected individuals.

  • They recruit high schoolers without other options.

    I worked in one of the worst high schools in the nation. There were recruiters in our cafeteria every day. They gave me periodic tables with National Guard branding (which you can be sure I used, because I only had 1000 prints a month, and 500 of those had to be on my own paper.)

    Imagine - you aren’t going to be able to get into or afford college. Your dad is in jail. Your mom is working three jobs, none of which provide your family with health insurance. The places that are hiring are McDonald’s and Walmart.

    The only people that you know in your community that have insurance and can afford a house - they are former military. You have already seen people go down extremely dark paths - you probably do know someone who joined a gang and you might have attended their funeral. Your pastor tells you that the military will teach you discipline and protect your from that fate.

    There are other reasons too. The military is really the only route you have for college if you don’t have the financial resources.

    I don’t think you imagine yourself killing people either. Most of what the military does isn’t directly related to combat.

    I think this video might be an interesting perspective too.

  • Alex Jones sets a lot of that up too. It’s really disturbing. He’ll talk about how there’s going to be a false flag shooting preemptively any time there is a big protest or similar planned. It’s almost like he’s outright calling for it to happen, giving permission to some psycho with a gun because they know he’ll cover for them.

  • “Both”? Brother, there are way more than 2 Barbie movies. Waaaaaaay more.

    The Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse show is way better than you would expect it to be. Like not “good” necessarily but fun.

  • This is less about intersite drama, and more that tumblr seems to be yet another social media platform which is hostile to trans people. I got banned because my account primarily calls out TERFs for doing things like manufacturing quotes and lying about academic studies.

    The internet is becoming trans hostile, and there also seems to be a lot of usage of AI to pretend that transphobic ideas are more popular than they are. As well as historical revisionism - I was routinely fact checking people who claimed that the Nazis invented being trans.

    It’s not that I give a shit about my account - it’s that there’s something more fucked up and insidious going on here.

  • The troubled teen industry episode does have a bastard hunting down children with his helicopter.

    The grave of that fucker is pretty close too, although vandalism is perhaps best for living bastards…
