uspol adjacent opinion, transphobia 

I worry that the only reason we haven’t had some transphobic mass shooting *yet* is that trans folks don’t have the equivalent to a synagogue/Gay nightclub/Asian spa/Sikh temple to target, but something similarly horrifying looms. And until then it’ll be the steady grind of murders and rapes swept under the rug by the media and police. Frankly I’m worried when we’re going to next have a mass shooting hate crime in general, everything feels primed for it.

uspol adjacent opinion, transphobia 

For obvious reasons I don’t watch Fox News and having now seen a clip of one of their stories about evil teachers grooming kids, I’ve now decided that when the current spike in transphobia gets someone killed, the victim isn’t necessarily going to be trans. Right wingers are really working themselves into a frenzy.
