There was a growing pattern of Influential conservatives blaming trans people for mass shootings. This trend seems to be as recent as August 28th or 2 weeks ago.

With charlie kirk’s death, and people speculating he was killed by a trans person, it seems like that’s going to further incite and escalate things. For example, Jesse Waters eluded that trans shooters were attacking conservatives, especially Trump & Charlie, effectively inciting violence to LGBTQ people.

In my personal opinon, I’d say avoid LGBT centers, parades, crowds. Staying home is a safe option, avoid being openly queer in public areas. That’s my two cents. It’s not a safe time right now.

    This is fallacious reasoning known as character assassination and poisoning the well. I’m not trying to convince people but to ask about whether people are concerned, which is a hard no apparently as many are ready for war i guess.

      And your logical fallacy is presenting a false dichotomy. According to you, trans people are either hiding in isolation or they are declaring some sort of gang war.

      You come here “just asking questions” and then argue with everyone that says they won’t be intimidated out of life?

        I didn’t present a false dichotomy, and I don’t feel like this is presented in fairness. I wish you well and i respect you as a human. If we were in person, things would be different (more friendly)

          I will never understand why this gets downvoted. People are so fucking insane. They support armed violence and hate, and i get banned from a community for pointing this out. I’m somehow a “fascist” for being anti-militias which is like the most doublethink thing i’ve ever heard. What is going on with people?
