I think Ms. Cox is amazing, and a great role model. She cuts straight to the point, and the line about the stigma surrounding the existence of transwomen was very, very real.

As a skinny, awkward teenager, and into my early 20s - when accused of looking at a straight guy the ‘wrong way’ I would swear up and down that I wasn’t, I wouldn’t dare. Never made eye contact, made myself small and unthreatening. Usually got beaten regardless, feared for my life a few times.

Yes, this.

It’s really frustrating to see this bizarre narrative that a penis equals a man, equals being gay. Gender, attractiveness and desire are registered long before anyone knows what’s in the other person’s pants.

This is exacerbated by states allowing a “gay panic” defense.

I have no idea what your sexual experience history entails, but you might be astounded by the vast differences in anatomy in cis women. Clitoral sizes can be larger in length and girth than micropenises are in cis men.

This is beautiful. 

Is this a joke??? 

Here’s the thing the self-defense apologists seem to be missing - the shooter had NO idea whether or not her shot would be fatal.

You... are legally impelled to pay taxes.

Yeah, there’s about zero chance of me ‘staying in my lane’ when your country is rampant with nazis committing abhorrent human rights abuses, against their own citizens and against asylum-seekers in violation of international law. And right-wing bad actors cheer it on, enable it, revel in it.

Seems like Amazon is ushering in a plethora of dystopian futures, on a variety of fronts, very fucking rapidly.

Thanks for running in here with #notallcops

Your apologetics are vile.

This is insane to me.

You Americans have convinced yourselves you need guns as self-defense against.. everything. I’ve noticed that’s defined as other people (‘bad guys’) with guns, as well as black and brown people - regardless of them being armed or unarmed.

I see you neglected to answer.

Oh I see, you’re one of THOSE trolls.
