Thanks for your assessment Nancy Drew. In the future I would advise you to think before you speak because your comment is all kinds of ignorant, stupid, offensive, and frankly, contribute nothing to whatever conversation you think is happening here. Time for you to go back to detective school, or whatever episode of…

What a ridiculous thing to say. You clearly are not a mental health professional, so why you think you have the authority to stigmatize an entire group of people suffering with a disorder as being so irrevocably flawed that they, and only they, could make false accusations is entirely mind boggling to me. I don’t know…

As a queer woman I am going to advise you to shut the fuck up and stop derailing the conversation with your irrelevant nonsense. holy shit

I TRULY have no idea what your point is. You did not respond to anything I wrote (not surprising) nor did you make a coherent point. Again, if you don’t understand something it is best not to speak on it. Additionally, if you feel the need to continually deny trans* peoples lived experiences get ready for backlash-…

The issue I have with a lot of conversations that happen on this site is that most people show no enthusiasm for learning or openness to listen to differing perspectives. To make matters worse people use terms and enter into dialogues without any real idea of what they are talking about, making counter arguments…

I can’t even critique you because you are so misinformed and confused I don’t know where to begin. Shhhh you’ll be okay the big old trans women of the world are not out to get you.

LOL the only one here inventing a false narritive is you- painting the police as being attacked by an unarmed child deserving his death. Please point me to the evidence that he was a violent threat. And for the record people who break the law are full human beings and don’t deserve to be gunned down for “breaking the…

dude, I’m not a fucking idiot. I know the police are an extension of state power. You said the police had the absolute power of the state, that is incorrect. When police act as if they have soverign power, police abuse happens. I’m not saying that police brutality is not inherently tied up in state sanctioned racism,…

people commenting with “I dont understand...” there is google for that, number one.

excuse spelling mistakes:

[edit: wrote under ambien, hope message is readable and apologize in advance- regardless sending love] 100% agree that the title of this post is misleading to a detrimental degree. If I read it in passing, which many do, it sounds like a prisoner is being realeased because of their gender identity instead of the…

Misleading title brings all the trolls to the yard: A Horror Story.

thank you for this really well stated and beautiful comment, I commend your patience in dealing with someone so fucking oblivious and stubborn. I honestly wish I had the ability to calmly explain myself when dealing with such ignorant, and ultimately hurtful, people. Sending love and power to you.

The article made clear that the details of this case are not yet known, so your quick assessment that he deserved to die is pretty disturbing. Regardless, in less someone is a CLEAR, violent and undeniable threat the police do not have the right to kill them. Committing a felony does not warrant the death penalty.…

lol where did you learn that police had the absolute power of the state? Won’t deny that they often act as such, but no, they legally do not have absolute power in deciding someones guilt or innocence, or how one should be made to be treated in the aftermath of comitting a crime, let alone in sentencing and carrying…

Do you believe in our legal system? Do you live in an old western movie in your head? Do you believe police officers are the moral arbiters in our society? Is committing a crime, no matter what, an excuse for an extrajudicial killing?

If hoping that everyone will take responsibility for making the world a better place, even by doing something as small as research, makes me an idiot than I guess I am. I didn’t realize that advocating for people to show effort and enthusiasm for learning and developing empathy was such a wild proposition. I should…

A lot of the time trans* individuals, primarily MTF, are placed in solitary confinement as if this torture is somehow better than the transphobic violence often experienced being housed in general population. Trans* inmates are thus doubly punnished, either by other inmates, or the state itself, because of their…

... men and women shouldn’t be imprisoned together.... trans people should be segregated somewhere far away for the protection of vulnerable cis inmates...oh shit trans people are men and women so my whole transphobic argument about segregation doesn’t hold up. BYE

No. To all of this. No.
