It's communism, not fascism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session
"If you do not willingly submit to our ideology, we will teach you submission"

Fascists burned TRAs to the ground in the 1930's

How the hell is trans activism the same thing as communism? Don't pretend Mao's China is the only place in which public humiliation has occurred. See Nazi Germany:

What does the communist party of China actually think about transgenderism?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_in_China#Laws_regarding_gender_reassignment

In 2009 the Chinese government made it illegal for minors to change their officially-listed gender, stating that sexual reassignment surgery, available to only those over the age of twenty, was required in order to apply for a revision of their identification card and residence registration.

Disregarding Shanxi, it looks like the commies in the east are more sensible on this matter than the capitalists in the west. In about half the U. S. you don't need SRS to alter the sex on your birth certificate. I bet I could go on popular Chinese social media and write "transwomen are men" in their language without being banned, the same isn't true for popular American social media like reddit and twitter.

"If you do not willingly submit to our ideology, we will teach you submission"

Is it better to put the people who won't submit into gas chambers?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_f%C3%BCr_Sexualwissenschaft

It was headed by Magnus Hirschfeld. Since 1897 he had run the Wissenschaftlich-humanitäres Komitee ("Scientific-Humanitarian Committee"), which campaigned on progressive and rational grounds for LGBT rights and tolerance

In 1923 the Institute was visited by Nikolai Semashko, Commissar for Health in the Soviet Union. This was followed by numerous visits and research trips by health officials, political, sexual and social reformers, and scientific researchers from the Soviet Union interested in the work of Hirschfeld.[4] In 1926 a delegation from the institute, led by Hirschfeld, reciprocated with a research visit to Moscow. In 1929 Hirschfeld presided over the third international congress of the World League for Sexual Reform at Wigmore Hall.

The Nazi book burnings in Berlin included the archives of the Institute. After the Nazis gained control of Germany in the 1930s, the institute and its libraries were destroyed as part of a Nazi government censorship program by youth brigades, who burned its books and documents in the street.

To call TRAs fascist is kind of ironic considering that historic fascists burned their TRA books and modern fascists wouldn't hesitate to do the same if given power.

The LGBT oppression ideology is marxist in nature.

Well, the Soviets were also the first people in space, does that mean astronautics is marxist?

It makes sense that they would do research trips regardless of their views on transsexuality, as the institute was about sexuality in general. As said in your link, transsexuality was only one topic of many that the institute researched, they also advocated "sex education, contraception, the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and women's emancipation" along with pro LGB rights. You are using the destruction of the institute as some sort of evidence that fascism is ideal, when it can also be used as evidence that fascism is anti women's emancipation and anti LGB (which wouldn't make your ideology look appealing to all the feminists and lesbians on this sub).

Looking at LGBT history in the Soviet Union, which was established in 1922, it does not seem like transsexual activism was videly encouraged. From 1933 to until two years after the end of the Soviet Union, 1993, homosexuality (and presumably transsexuality together with it) was criminalized. You're also the one who brought up China during Mao, and I find no evidence Mao encouraged transsexuality. Homosexuality was criminalized under his era. If communism is the same as trans activism why wasn't Maoist China full of sex reassignment surgeries?

To be clear, I have nothing against homosexuality or men dressing like women, I just think they shouldn't deny biological reality or be encouraged to mutilate their bodies. That's really the view of the gendercritical community as a whole, this image is from the sidebar of the old sub:

Yes, that is stupid, almost as stupid as calling them communists.

The LGBT oppression ideology is marxist in nature.

Do you mean intersectionality and identity politics? Many leftists would say those things are not marxist, but on the opposite actually only benefit the ruling class by making the workers fight amongst themselves over nonsense.

In fact, after having typed the above, by coincidence I even found a communist telling you the same thing before:
