On the other hand, I totally recognize that picture as being Judith Halberstam as pictured on the back of hir book, "Female Masculinity."
There's an online comic i read a long time ago and that i can't find now called "The Adventures of Transman and Trannyboi" They fight a bad guy called the Gendermine. It's so damn silly, and this result reminds me of this. Except the Gendermine was demanding strict gender roles and thus took Trannyboi and The Genderqueer hostage, so the Nazi thing was pro-rigidity. I can't imagine Nazis would be in favor of boundary crossing.
*nods* (for the record I got the same result) the misuse of such loaded terms actually amuses me. Years ago when I worked at the record store and I kept an even shorter haircut and wore lots and lots of black I was working the front security of the store...Monday nights we'd be open late and at midnight would sell the new released albums to anyone at the store. So to 'work the door' you let folks out but didn't let folks in. Anyway, a kid from my high school (who I had hated - he was a racist douchebag) came up and tried to schmooze me to get in to buy a cd. I told him no, repeatedly, that it was against the rules. In a fit of anger he exclaimed 'oh I get it... you are all for anarchy and shit so you can't help me out'... my reply? 'ya... I'm so into anarchy, that I am... following the ... rules'
The Nazi thing....I have no fucking clue. Although Liberal Fascism just came out. Maybe the writer loves right wing idiots? Actually, yes. The writer is an idiot who probably thinks that anything that makes hir uncomfortable is clearly fascism.
Don't you know? Nazis were all about disempowered minorities demanding respect! If there's one thing the Nazi regieme was known for, it was the vast amount of social power wielded by unpopular racial, sexual and religious minorities. That's why it totally makes sense to that people demanding gender neutral language should be called Nazis. Cuz, oh man, did transgender individuals fare very very very well under the Nazis. Hell, they were literally dying to get to occupied Poland. Literally. Dying

To be fair, anarchy as a political movement would totally back you following rules, as long as they were arrived at in a democratic fashion.
I need to do more reading on anarchy. The more I hear about it, the more I like it.
The irony mark . . . is that symbol already in the unicode standard? It looks a lot like a boob to me. An ironic boob. . .
