An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

    Yep, nothing would make the Heritage foundation happier than a trans person defending themselves from mob violence with a firearm. Gives them an excuse to start provoking pogroms

      Bitch what do you think they’re doing? You think they can’t just make some shit up when its time? Please cut this victim blaming the fuck out.

      Good behavior will not save you. Making them afraid might.

        Where did I ever say they shouldn’t defend themselves? Understanding what will happen next doesn’t equate with advocating they stand down and let themselves die.

        Literally everyone that ain’t a fascist should arm themselves and use those arms when their safety is in peril. Especially marginalized people. And if a fucking lynch mob is after anyone they should mow them down.

        But that’s not gonna happen in a vacuum and there will at least be an attempt to utilize that as a catalyst for even more violence upon trans people. Please tell me what you think the reaction by the right will be when something like that inevitably occurs?
