...and then they came for the trans* people.

Transgender people in Greece are now being rounded up and detained in a continuation of the social cleansing of the “undesirables”.

FUCK.

THIS.

Pay attention. Pay attention. Pay attention. Pay attention.

“Under the pretense that of checking that the person is not involved in the sex industry trans people are being rounding up and arrested. Their details are taken and they are detained for several hours. On release they are warned that if they did not “return to normal” they would be arrested for public indecency.”

Absolutely terrifying. Please spread this around and make it known that this is happening, and there’s also a petition you can sign!

Don’t ignore this. Like the famous poem the post title references, it starts with one group of people, but then the disease spreads…

First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.
