“The far-right AfD, now the 2nd largest party, is attempting to revive the stigmatisation of the disabled, on the basis of the populist fantasy that they are the product of incestuous unions between immigrants. Prejudice against disabled people & racial minorities is being whipped up once more.“

For a chance to win and learn about the myriad strategies the state has followed to standardize sex, share this post and tag someone in the comments.
