Transphobic conspiracy theories originating from 4chan directly led to this poor girl being assaulted. Really worried for all of my trans comrades having to deal with more of this sort of violence in the future. :amerikkka:
(If this is the wrong community, let me know and I'll move it)
Loving our trans comrades is not enough. We must also destroy every transphobe and relegate all memory of them to the deepest pits of hell
We're boutta start seeing "today I defended my trans comrades :meow-shining:" posts and half the body will have to be redacted
I do not merely love our trans comrades, I would die to protect our trans comrades
Entirely agreed. Part of loving and protecting our trans comrades is necessarily seeking the destruction of transphobes and I would be happy to see them gone.
in my hazy morning brain i read "assaulted" as "assassinated". glad she's still alive but jfc her story is heartbreaking - kicked out of her home for being trans, in a school shooting, and now online hate groups are blaming her for it happening in the first place.
Fuck Texas, i hope she gets out when she turns 18 and finds a supportive community.
What the fuck. Death to america. These fascists must be stopped
That vile fuck Paul Gosar was the one who brought this fucking 4chan conspiracy to the masses?
I feel sick. I've spent the last few minutes feeling sick to my stomach, because I know what's coming, and I know we have to fight it. I'm a coward, but I don't want this to happen.
Arm trans people and form people's protection militias so that every time a transphobe tries to do this they get their head immediately blown off.
Honestly not sure what to do. I know a couple trans people as acquaintances, is it cringe to reach out to them and ask how they're doing, if I can do something to help? Maybe I should look into local groups?
