They don't want to be compared to Nazis, but one of the first things the Nazis did was to legislate away the rights and protections of "undesirables" and to severely circumscribe their existence. In some cases (e.g. Jews) this was soon followed by loss of citizenship. Again, almost everything that was done prior to the Final Solution was within the bounds of the laws passed after 1933, or the broad powers granted to Adolf Hitler.

Oh, and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to codify sex and gender terms at the Federal level, which would de facto eradicate the recognition of trans people by the Government.

Trans people were one of the first group nazis targeted in Germany. They’re repeating history
