(13,160 posts)Shouting Tranny tranny tranny yesterday after falling for the anti trans engraved on casings.
I own lots of bullets, and have enough of a brain bit to engrave ANYTHING in a high powered brass casing that is made to explode. Both have been none stop raging that all mass shooting or any shooting is trans related.
So. Thats why they need alerted this is not a trans shooter.

(2,431 posts)I'm going to go back and look at the inscriptions on the unspent shell casings. Not trans...but seems to lean more progressive.
We might be stuck with some ambiguities, given the various memes he seems to have been invoking.

(2,431 posts)Speaking as a gay man, I could see it being used as some sort of vague homophobic insult, but I could see it more easily as being sarcastic, like, "haha now you're gay."
Plus there's his pic wearing a cute "be the change..." T-shirt, where the "be" is a bee. Hard to see some early-20's magat wearing that, but who knows.
The MSNBC person who Knows All The Memes seems to agree that the inscriptions are multivalent.
I haven't made a deep study, because once we were certain he's not discernably trans, we've got other things to worry about. The trumpists are still trying to use all this to promote their "trans = mentally ill" BS, to prohibit gun access, and parlay that into denying us adoption and other civil rights along with it. They're teeing up a court case which could go all the way to the SC if their cards go right.

(1,921 posts)so they've got nothing. You know....like always. NOW the Dems need to go on the attack for the rest of the weekend on Trumpler being wrong AGAIN. Then on Monday stay on the attack about Epstein.

Her obsession with trans people is fascinating to me because the way she piles on the makeup makes her look like a drag queen*
*Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with drag queens or trans people.
