    I can’t find any news story about camps opening up for trans people, is this just random meming or is there substance to the claim?

      It’s a valid concern moving forward.

      The Republican party has made a HARD turn toward fascism. No marginalized group is safe from fascism. Unchecked, I absolutely believe conservatives would be onboard with camps for trans people. They’ve happily waltzed past every red line so far.

        So in other words, “we have the fucking camps opening” is not true (with regards to trans people).

        We can all extrapolate into the future from current events and see where things are heading, but @Rekorse was asking about the present.

        Edit: can’t believe I’m getting downvoted here, really curious if one of you downvoters would tell me what about this comment is problematic.

      That’s a legitimate question. Alligator Auschwitz has opened for immigrants. Mostly it’s a warning that concentration camps are opening, and that the targeting of trans people means that they are in serious danger of being one of the next demographics to be sent.

      Just like the Nazi concentration camps did not begin with mass deportations of Jews, so too is the case here.
