(2,097 posts)1. Assemble two statistics
1) Number of people accidentally or deliberately injured or killed by trans people using bathrooms in public;
2) Number of people accidentally or deliberately injured or killed by gun owners (or their children) carrying guns in their purses, cars, pants, etc.
I believe the answer will be self-evident.

This kind of dehumanizing bullshit is totally unacceptable on a Democratic website.
