Freedom for Trans folks to live comes before the sense of "Justice" and "Peace" (security) transphobes use to justify the erasure of their existence.
Plus Kamen Rider is a Nazi fighter so idk comrade...he's got the spirit there at least
I don't know much about Kamen Rider but I know the guy fights literal Nazis - so I think that kinda speaks for itself
This tagline was written for an expressly anti-fascist character. Y'all are not wrong about the three things being important and working in tandem
But the progressive concept of Peace and Justice we use today is not the same as what this character is saying
It should be no surprise that folks growing up under the Japanese Imperial regime had a very different understanding of "peace and justice" to justify a genocidal authoritarian surveillance state
Context matters
Y'all...it's a drawing that is expressly supportive of the trans community. It's not hard to imagine that like
The parallel here is the freedom of Trans folks to just live SUPERCEDES the "Peace and Justice" (fragile pearl clutching bigotry) of transphobes
