    More violence against transgendered people:

    https://www.metroweekly.com/2018/12...tacked-by-7-people-because-he-is-transgender/

    Snip:

    The attack is one of dozens targeting the transgender community that occur each year in cities and towns across the nation. About two dozen transgender people, mostly trans women of color, are murdered in similar attacks each year in the United States.

    To what extent is the constant conservative hate speech aimed at transgenders responsible for this nonstop violence?

    Why aren't conservatives condemning this attack?

    What can be done about these attacks, and the conservative hate speech which may foster them?

    This guy says he was attacked in front of a convenience store but there's NO security footage anywhere?

    Come to think of it, I'm not seeing any Liberals condemning the attack either.

    To my dysphoric friends, it’s unfortunate that here in America, despite strenuous liberal efforts, we can’t control the thoughts and activities of every person every second of the day. Knowing such a failure exists, might I suggest all dysphorics move to a liberal approved country, say Saudi Arabia or some other tolerant country.

    It's fake news, was the gas station in 1968 with no cameras? More false flag wolf crying.

    Love how the OP assumes it was "conservative" hate speech. LOL obvious flame bait.

    What would you call someone who can’t positively identify biologically, physically or genetically as a man or woman? Keep in mind that misidentifying a gender can get you fired, so ‘it’ is a safe bet.

    Oh, this is fun, blame conservatives for something that is more than likely happened by black men. Since 95% of blacks are democrats, or at least vote that way, how is this a "conservative" thing? How do I come to the conclusion its most likely black men doing the violence? Because you article says "mostly trans women of COLOR". People are typically killed by those of their own race. 90% of whites are killed by other whites. 90% of blacks are killed by other blacks. So without any obvious evidence or proof that "conservatives" are the ones to blame for them "women" being attacked, I am going to go the most likely scenario that people of color attacked these people of color.

    So, where is the images of the injuries? Anyone can claim xyz happened to them, doesn’t mean it is true. Digging dipper, look at the stories that journalist has written. All of them are some type of pro gay stance. Think that might be a little biased? Yea, yea it it is.

    Indeed. Remember the right-wing idiot who claimed she was attacked by a black Obama supporter who carved the letter B on her face, and then it turned out she did it to herself in front of a mirror and got the letter backward.
    What a maroon, eh?

    Already a perjorative in common use. The idea is to AVOID offense, hence "gay" not "queer" frex

    Offense? What does it feel like to be offended by a word? Does it feel worse than getting arrested, fired from your job, your spouse cheating on you, finding out you have cancer, or being called a racist every minute of the day? People who melt down over words are weak and probably useless to society. If words bother people to the point where they're consumed with being offended, then I would suggest they stay off ball fields and out of locker rooms.

    Lack of compassion, decency and basic respect for others isn't owned by one political party or another. We need to look beyond our political leanings and look to how a human being treats another.

    Calm down, Breathe, Jeez, talk about meltdowns

    I was talking about writing conventions, not who you want dating your daughter, (or son). If you want people to pay attention to what you're actually saying it's a good idea not to pepper your writing with what a lot of people regard as akin to ethnic slurs, no matter how innocently they may be being used. When you write something for public consumption it's a good idea to remember you are not on the ball field or in a locker room. (Though maybe you should think the opposite way, use the wrong word to the wrong person in a locker room and you might suffer far worse consequences than having your overall message misinterpreted)
