What does sub human trash have to do with the trans community? That's not a slur against trans people, but a slur against someone who has given up their human identity.
"What does sub human trash have to do with the black community? Calling him the n-word isn't a slur against black people, but a slur against someone who has given up their human identity."
Your first comment asserted: "Who cares what this person is called." Did that change between now and then? Would you concede that misgendering this shooter is not a valid expression of disdain for their actions?
Yes it changed a little bit, but only insofar as the implications to other people. I kind of wish the trans community would reject and condemn the shooter instead of using the identity of the shooter as a talking point for unrelated issues in society. Unless you believe the identity of the shooter is related to what they did?
