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.

    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?
