(10,481 posts)I don't care what others say. Being a transgender woman in this current day is a death sentence to most and I'm not gonna be one that is a statistic. I wish this shit would end. But it won't. Another beautiful person gone because of some asshole who should be in prison with that type of record

This is why the "othering" upsets me so much. Chappelle's "comedy". Vilifying Lia Thomas. The QOP's hatred. The "I'm just asking questions" by posting shit claiming doctors are convincing people they're trans. I say it, time and time again.. I'll keep saying it. When you dehumanize someone, some dumb trigger-happy goon is going to think it's okay to hurt or kill them. "They're a lesser lifeform. They're not even a person!"
The increased attacks upon vulnerable communities is no coincidence. This happens every. damn. time. When the QOP goes off and introduces over 300 bigoted bills in less than 4 months, and uses loaded words like "grooming", it just makes people think it's okay to harm and kill trans people.
When does it stop?
