Advocacy groups throughout the conservative commentary ecosystem have pushed to get these leagues on record about transgender athlete participation, without success.
Now, these groups are moving beyond just trying to get athlete eligibility questions on record. XX-XY Athletics, the sports apparel group that has used Cunningham’s comments as a way get its brand in front of cameras at WNBA games, is suing Colorado in court saying its state anti-discrimination law prevents the company from marketing its apparel using trans athletes’ deadnames and misgendering them deliberately. The company is at least partially bankrolled by a prominent conservative couple in Colorado with deep ties in Republican politics. The company’s face and CEO, Jennifer Sey, a Bay Area resident, was a national champion gymnast before she gained a following online arguing against COVID school closures and vaccine mandates.
The old nazi party targeted trans people as well.
For sure they did, you can read an example here. Unfortunately, that was all lost to history because the Allies didn’t really care about queer people either.
The U.S. put all the queer people back in the concentration camps after they got the Jews out.

Many Holocaust education projects are also against talking about the non-Jewish people killed, even though they were the majority of victims (7M/13M). This is because most of them are Zionist self-victimization projects. Here’s an awesome video essay on this:

Badempanada makes good video essays / explainers. He should do more of those and fewer drama-slop takedowns of other leftists for minor slip-ups or small disagreements.
The ‘Live’ channel videos he makes on other supposed leftists (be it AOC or Hasan) are not really minor slip-ups though. If someone is walking back on the simplest policy decisions like “Defund the police” or if they’re supporting unrepenting mass-murderers like Graham Platner I WANT to know about that.
If that were the extent of it it would be fine; I even agree with a lot of his criticisms, but it’s become nearly his entire output. When F.D. Signifier took issue with Badempanada’s use of Nazi dog-whistles he accused him of being a Zionist. He also accused F.D. Signifier of supporting Graham Platner despite F.D. being one of the first to express concern about him. By jumping on single statements that are often ambiguous, assuming the worst, and ignoring any context that contradicts his accusations he is just creating unnecessary conflict with his close ideological allies. Rather than trying to have a normal conversation about things with other leftists he creates a series of videos scrutinizing everything they say and blowing things out of proportion. If you haven’t watched his “debate” with F.D. Signifier where he takes advantage of Overzealot’s friendship to hijack a stream he was doing with F.D. and make it about him, you should check it out. It makes the toxic way that Badempanada operates very transparent.
It hasn’t become his entire output at all. The Live channel just puts out his livestream clips, and most are against Reich-wingers.
F.D. also DID support Graham Platner:

He only made one other video where he was against him ONE month ago, after his discussion with BE and probably after watching his videos, where he denounced Platner for being… white. He also called out Fight Agency for the first time in his life on that video, and couldn’t muster up literally anything that he disagreed with in their platform, instead just saying that they weren’t platforming black politicians. I don’t know if you’ve watched his videos or if you’re just an outsider commenting on this, but if you haven’t please do, because I’m not going on an anti-woke tirade here this is quite literally what he did.
BE also never used Nazi dog whistles. Signifier just said he did because he probably read on Wikipedia or something that ZOG was used by Nazis decades ago. Or maybe he is talking about the word Zionist, which he also seems to consider a dog whistle.
And I’ve watched the complete “debate” as well. F.D. had literally no point, didn’t engage with what BE was saying, and just insulted his looks and yelled at BE to call him the hard-r because he was offended by getting called a “ZOG slave”, thinking that because it has the word ‘slave’ in it it has to be racist.
He very obviously doesn’t care about the Palestinian cause, instead making pop culture videos defending an extremely privileged group of people against Disney’s “AnTiSeMiTiC tRoPeS oF a BiG nOsE aNd StEaLiNg”. He’s an actual IDPOL slave, and is merely getting backlash for trying to tone-police the people who DO care about this stuff.
In my rural Texas school we were taught that the Nazis targeted queer people too. I would have assumed they’d downplay things since there was a German internment camp not far away, but they even taught about that.
Yep. The Nat-C’s are just following the Nazi playbook.
