The attacks claimed the lives of an Indiana woman and an Oregon man, both cisgender people.

But maybe climate change will take care of it all and we won’t be here to see it…
Silver linings baby
The world is a nightmare.
That seems untrue; we never wake up.
I prefer thinking I’m part of the simulation, so I can try finding bugs and cheats without any guilt.
What if others are real and victims of bugs and cheats?
If we never wake up, then we are still asleep and inside the nightmare.
I was just saying to my husband the other night, ‘ive known a long time that I’d see the end of the world in my lifetime. I just didnt expect to see it before I turned 40*.’
*90s kid for reference
They know. That’s why they’re doing it, to terrorize people back into the shadows.
That cuntry music asshole is the same. He knows what that song is about and it is 100% on purpose.
This is just disgusting. Those people were just minding their own business, and these fucking psychos just couldn’t leave them alone. The state of the world is depressing af.
This is no longer a “hate crime” issue. The Republicans have created a terrorist organization. These people are terrorists and should be treated as such.
@stopthatgirl7 The problem is people just want to get in the way of me and other Trans people from living our lives, it doesn’t help they are literally trying to kill us as well as allies around us. Thank you for all the allies that do stand by our side, we are sorry you have to suffer the same pain for standing up for us being ourselves.
If we don’t stand at your side then all we do is lend legitimacy to their side. We are all brothers and sisters in the fight against hate. We fight together and we either win together or die trying because if we don’t win then this world isn’t worth being a part of anyways. ❤️
@TheDoctorDonna Thank you for such kind words.

You read an article about two people in separate incidents being killed over transphobic hatred and you don’t see a connection?
You’re just trying to downplay the hate crimes of people you agree with.
not at all, but if you’d like to think that then go right ahead. positive thinking is right up there next to prayer in usefulness!
I’m so confused by the “woman who was killed for being transexual even though she wasn’t transexual” and how that’s related to a really obviously homophobic killing
This is fucking gash journalism
Your comment is lazy and lacks serious empathy. The lady was murdered with a razor blade to the throat because some fucking guy thought she was transgender. And the other guy was stabbed for standing up for his friend a transgender person.
Your comment is like saying “The guy paid $50,000 for an old IBM computer even though the computer wasn’t really an IBM - how is that related to people who like IBM computers?”
My dog doesn’t understand why the mailman keeps showing up every day.
Doesn’t mean there’s not a reason the mailman shows up everyday, just that my dog isn’t smart enough to understand it.
This framing is disgusting. Who writes a headline this terrible?
But why does it matter if the victims were cis people or not?
It highlights an extra layer of stupid.
There’s this delusion amongst transphobes that they can “always clock a tranny” and that they’re never wrong when they decide that someone is secretly trans because they have a more prominent Adam’s apple or something equally stupid. Of course the truth is that they’re wrong constantly and are just idiot bigots, which this illustrates rather poignantly unfortunately. They don’t really know who is or isn’t trans, they just want to pretend they know so they can feel vindicated by “recognizing” trans people, and they convince themselves that trans people can never truly blend in to society. Because if trans people really were capable of being indistinguishable from cis people, then that would mean that at some point they might have, gasp, treated a trans person like a human being and used the proper pronouns. The horror.
Of course trans people shouldn’t have to blend in, they shouldn’t have to pass to be treated as the gender they identify as, or with basic human decency.
It’s not just Trans people, it’s people who aren’t masculine or feminine enough. The bigots are fine with this.
It promotes the culture war which serves to divide us so we fight with each other instead of addressing the real issue: extreme inequality.

You’ve admitted to trolling. You can’t really get pissy that the mod is doing their job by removing your trolling comments. You don’t have any leg to stand on here.
Neh. My time isn’t inifinte.

Ignorant and proud of it is not a way to go through life.

It’s ok bud, you can look up the definition, it won’t turn you trans, I promise.
Imagine being proud of deliberate ignorance like this.

A person whose physical, biological sex matches the gender they identify as. It’s the opposite of trans.

It basically means your mind agrees with what your body looks like/ is in your birth certificate. Basically not transgender.
And here, ladies and gentlemen, is part of the reason hate crime exists. “Is it something I don’t yet know or understand? Quickly, get me my head-burying sand bucket!”

It might be, or it might be not. Unfortunately you won’t know before googling/asking/etc. But hiding from stuff you don’t understand yet isn’t that good of a strategy in general.
It reads a lot like anti-intellectualism, and that never had a positive impact on societies.

“I’m not anti-intellectual about every topic, only the ones I find iffy” is kinda exactly the point here. Everyone has first-priority topics of interest. The issue is being open to understanding other ones.
Edit: the mods deleted this person’s comments, and I disagree with that decision. If someone with a similar worldview stumbles upon such discussions and finds some point in other comments compelling enough to change their mind, that’s a positive result in my book. And removing the other point of view from the comments doesn’t allow people to find associations. The comments should have stayed.

It literally took you like 20x longer to have this conversation than it would’ve taken to google the answer. If you worry about your time not being infinite you should manage it better.
Sorry for person killed by the psycho tho
The psychos were driven by the same ignorance you’ve made central to your personality.
This whole thread became hilarious. I literally stated I didn’t bother to look up a definition of some random word. Now I am being accused of hatred crimes and being shut up by mods lol oh well fuck you mods
Being flippant and dismissive of something that has literally gotten people killed tends to get people upset.
Now I am being accused of hatred crimes
Who’s doing that?
