• Holy shit. If they really go through with this, it could be the pretence they need to segregate or arrest trans people. This is like the first of the Nazi laws discriminating against Jews. Five alarm fire moment.

    I have never met a trans person I was afraid of. Of course, I don’t feel the need to carry an assault rifle to buy donuts, either.

    It must be incredibly stressful to be terrified of everything all the time.

    “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” as “criminal conduct… in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos.

    Are… Are these people capable of not projecting who they are onto everyone else?? Projection is in literally everything they do and say.

      This comment was reported for encouraging violence.

      What I think the OP meant was

      If they are planning violence on us, we need to be ready to defend and return the same energy back on them

      Leaving up.

      (the person who reported this comment had the best of intentions, and even apologized if they were wrong – Thanks for that!)

    I mean… I guess that’s a way to encourage trans people and their allies to become nihilistic violent extremists…?

    What a time to be alive 🫠

      Creating terrorists by rooting out terrorists is an old strategy but this does seem to be novel in sheer stupidity.

      <3. I love you all the more for your dedicated introspection and understanding.

      Things may have been easier on the gender front were you cis, but that just means that other things would fill that void - especially considering your empathy in these times of global strife.

        I don’t want to have to be strong every single second of my life just to be me. It’s also pretty clear that not everyone loves trans folk judging by how transphobia is increasing worldwide

          I’d wager a lot of those who hate transfolk are a lot less sure of their own gender identity and sexuality and the existence of transfolks scares them because it makes them face that fact.

          It’s almost always projection of their own insecurities. You’re right, you shouldn’t have to be strong all the time in the face of all these weak willed assholes.
