You get an insight into the hate transgender people face when...

Exactly my point earlier. It does not need to be politicized in a dishonest manner. People are being killed and nobody needs to stretch the truth about murder as this is the very reason why you have societal panics over things like gluten. The fact we have thousands if not millions of people afraid of bread protein is unthinkable to me.

I can't say the truth was stretched because it's a personal issue not a statistical one. Do you understand the intent behind the post, though?

I mean, not to be rude, but if you are part of African American Culture (I'm African American but raised "white" as so they say), and you exaggerated on a killing(s) that bothered you intensively, would it make sense for me to address what you exaggerated or the emotion or intent behind your comment itself?

Outside of that, it could have been exaggerated; that wasn't the point, though.

That is one thing but what sparked me was in the OP as it stated that : "A lot of juries let off people in this situation and have in the past."

Situation as in killing transgender (sorry, didn't want to read the article)?

If so, I never heard such a thing today but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case in the 50s and 60s. Most definitely the 40s. I actually remember when sodomy laws (which people didn't think had nothing to do with sexual orientation and gender identity) were taken off the books. It was 1961, they officially did in all states. Funny, I remember they talked about it in the late 80s since I wasn't born in the 60s.

And by getting off he meant sentence reduction. Getting 12 or more years in prison is not that much of a sentence reduction in some cases.

Unless it was his first offense, probably? I know my brother got off 30 days in jail for attempted shoplifting because it was his first offense and he didn't walk off the property. So he got one day instead.

A lot of factors could have played in.

This is a massive contention in politics. Democrats all the way up to the 90s were the party of choice for the KKK and White Nationalists movement until Clinton. This is why you had people like JFK who were pro NRA, military and avid free market capitalists who by modern times would be called Republicans. Republicans began favoring small business like Democrats but changed. Republicans began using corporate power as a plow while Democrats favored big business for tax purposed and job growth while lowering smaller business and invest through the 90's by federal stimulation. Republicans stuck to freer markets and minorities while Democrats by the 90s began using progressivism to employ voting tactics.

You have to remember that Clinton was a New Democrat meaning he was shifting from the welfare state to a semi free-market economy which was why he got into power. People like Bill Whittle at this point began calling the treatment of minorities by the Democrats the "Democratic Plantation."

The point being is that us righties hate social justice on the principle that it is injected into politics and forces people to conform and creates further violence. We want more Gandhis and less Obamas who will fight for their rights in society and not through aggression.

. . . I really don't want to ramble at this point.



This explains my confusion then as I wa sin the eros group.

Eros group! That's way on the other side of the border. I actually don't know if people use those rooms. Christians, Muslims, Hindu, and Bahai don't have much of a DIR problem if any. Pagan DIR is a bit more eclectic and there was a problem with that. I don't see the use in the Gardening room and barely anyone posts in the magic one. There are some sub-forums that can be done away with. Well...

... when I'm genuinely relieved that this man got convicted:

Ex-Navy sailor gets 40 years for killing transgender woman

(article dated 21st of this month)

A lot of juries let off people in this situation and have in the past, which is horrible. However the fact that he got convicted shows me that we are finally making progress to where the general public no longer thinks it's okay to just straight up murder us!

This is also why I disclose before relationships. I'd rather be yelled slurs at then be yelled slurs at and stabbed over 100 times.

I do also find it interesting that he thought nothing of her throughout all of it and only when he learned was it suddenly "not okay". To think if she kept wits about her and didn't get in that situation he wouldn't of been any wiser and not dead. But at the same time, I could see just getting carried away having a guy into you and then it occurs to you maybe he should know before going further. But I also don't know how it didn't come up when they were chatting online. It's all rather unfortunate but it does bring to light some assumptions we have about trans people in general, that even if their body is indistinguishable from their gender identity they are still "not really" a woman, a man, ect.

Also, no transphobia will be tolerated, and I will not hesitate to report it.

Hey, just wondering what your opinion was on the comment by the mother. I suspect if I was in her shoes my thoughts would be similar, but the punishment seems about right for the crime, right??

No such thing exists as a transgender assassination club.

Sure there is, just not one that draws blood.

Your comment really alludes me . I detect sarcasm but I don't get it

Makes no sense but I am not exposed to fiction that much. I have had no interest in videogames yet alone pop culture for quite some years which leaves me left out ot general fandom.

I have always questioned your reading comprehension for years considering most of our debacles result in you assuming too much of my posts as well. My sarcasm do not exist for purposes of intellectual conversations and the fact you have taken it as otherwise puts you in question everytime. For a person like me to complain about details and have others force grand schemes into my dialogue is very frustrating.

Think whatever you want of me - it is not like you earned the right to have me caring about that - but please stop assuming so much about transexuals. It is, frankly, disgusting.

Assuming what? I have assumed nothing and haven't had the luxury of encountering many transexuals hence my avoidance of the topic primarily.

Your hostility toward my lack of interest is just bizarre considering I have made the exact same stance you have on this topic. Yet you show dissatisfaction that somebody is not rolling in emotional grief at the moment. It is nonsensical

I don't think anyone may argue that there is not a group mentality that seeks to eliminate transgender persons through laws and discrimination, the goal is the same.
