Yeah I noticed that too. I guess in their minds, there is no connection between a culture of microaggressions and subtle (and not so subtle, thanks seatonsatin) anti-trans rhetoric and actual violence against trans people.

But Kate Pierson has never killed a single gay person before! Thus she can’t kill a trans person.

Once again: Dear cis people, please stop killing trans people.

Of course, apparently people here would be defending her murder if she were someone they didn’t like and someone they liked committed it.

It is so hard to feel hope after reading about such cruelty, I agree.

It’s appalling. People here should know better.

You’re not an ally to anyone but the dominant anti-trans culture.

sorry for the way a lot of these so called feminists are acting. you’re a better person than i would be for taking the time to respond to all of these ignorant people. fuck trans exclusionary feminism.

Ignoring trans people’s comments and experiences in favor of your own opinion makes you a bad ally. No need to displace that onto me.

I’m really fucking sorry that you’re having to defend the basics of trans allyship to the commenters here. These people are repulsive and a good reminder that Jezebel and most of its readership are shittastic ‘feminists’.

That reads as 100% concern-trolling.

Yeah, it’s kind of amazing. Thankfully, there are at least a few people who seem to get it.

In many of the cities I’ve lived in there’s a big difference in price, reliability and service areas. Before Uber it was understood that certain places were SOL trying to get a cab to come out to their neighborhood, or accept credit cards vs cash or pick up the damn phone after 8pm on a Friday. I’ve also never really…

Unfortunately most sex offenders don't get convicted even if they are arrested so I don't really feel safe in any drivers car. Part of being a woman. :(

This isn’t entirely accurate. Minicab companies in the UK have no requirement to vet drivers, only black/Hansom cabs. That’s why minicabs aren’t allowed to pick you up on the street, they aren’t licensed for that.

Cite please. I read the attached article and this one and had no reason to believe he was cruising for prositutues.

These women weren’t using the app. That’s not how it works.

I don’t feel comfortable irrelevantly assuming these women are prostitutes.

An Uber spokesperson confirmed to the Palm Beach Post that Mtsitsha has been banned from the app.
