Carano was the subject of much criticism recently when, in a now-deleted Instagram post, she compared being a modern-day Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust. Carano has also been a vocally against the use of masks in public spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as insinuating voter fraud conspiracies regarding the 2020 Presidential election.

This is what the article mentions, nothing about her pronoun-in-bio drama of a few months ago. Bit misleading

she compared being a modern-day Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust.

She didn’t even do that.

No, none of us can. Most news media is entirely untrustworthy nowadays.

I noticed that too unfortunately...they leave out many important details or make up stuff. I have to go digging through articles or find a more reliable source. I started paying a bit more attention after you mentioned to me an article had some incorrect information--- it was something about Iran doing sex reassignment surgery to LGB women & men.

My uncle was a journalist. I wanted to be one once upon a time, but not if it means complicity in lying to the public on this scale.

She is implying that hating someone for their political views is going to lead to them being put in concentration camps. Like come on.

The point is that saying she claimed being a Republican is like being a Jew during the Holocaust is a straight up lie.

If I understood right, was the analogy she was trying to make was the government stirred up the issue first and put us against each other for different political views, race, religion, etc?

Pretty much. Though it looks like this wasn’t written by her but just shared.

I was confused and thought I was missing something because I didn't see anything about transphobia in that article either.

I did a DuckDuckGo search and found two opposing views on the issue:

That's so funny, I also need to use duckduckgo to find some info. Like I only found info about the women's picket against bidens trans sports executive order (March 8th in DC) by using duckduckgo. So fucked
