first beef with dictionnaries is that it's a major reductionnism (
it completely invizibilize contextual information necessary to understand concepts)

Language is an ever evolving social system composed of an infinite number of sub systems. It's idealistic to consider that we can set language in stone with dictionnaries.
At best it can be a record of language over time, but most of the time in fact.. said record invizibilizes the different ways of using all languages, usually in a colonial and imperialistic (
western centric) way.
Yup. That's what leftism is about my boy. That's the biggest difference between you and me.

But if you want to know what Nazi think about trans, here is a little reminder of the symbol used to SORT people in

The next time someone like me explain to you why Nazi were pro-productivity and therefore pro-capitalist and you want to contradict them, remember this image.
This is what capitalism does.
