      I’m actually generally scared of the fact that the entire world seems to wander more into right-wing conservatism…

      My main hope is that parties like the AfD, the FPÖ (right-wing extremist party that won the election in Austria), Trump, … will see things like gender identity as more of a side issue in the world and not doing anything, neither good nor bad because they have “better” things to do. I have no clue how gender identity even became a political issue in the first place but it really needs to stop

        Even if the AfD isn’t in a coalition, a member of the CDU literally described itself as “AfD but with democracy”. And they are conservative shits favoring the AfD.
