While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.

Be better than how your enemies treat you.


  1. Respect the trans community

Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:

No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.


  1. Stay on topic!

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.


  1. Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

racist and mentally ill, bad combo. those who latch on to her gender are grasping at straws because their own identity is usually the main culprit in these cases. the heat is off white boys in their 20s so no holding back.

All the gun subs are "shooter was trans, it's a mental illness". So yea watch out.

Also stay armed, trump and his racist bigots in maga are going to use this anyway they can.

I'm in the dark about the racism part. Did they discover she hated a certain group or something?

"6 million wasn't enough" "Israel must fall"

The rest of her writing makes it clear she was severely mentally ill, and her video is very much in line with the shit going around on Terrorgram. The overwhelming majority of these shootings are perpetrated young white cis men and boys, not trans people, and anyone focusing on her gender identity is doing so to deflect from the far-right extremism.

To me, in this context, death is death. Many people like to jump into talks about things like motives, identity, and so on. Side circumstances. But they're all just that, circumstances. All amoral details in a tragedy are equally amoral.

Why are these shooters always white?

Something needs to be done to protect our children from white people.

[–] Voidist@midwest.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There were a few who weren't.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Probably a few who weren't transgender too

[–] Voidist@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

There were several who weren't transgender.

This story is heart wrenching. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my child to such horrific violence.
Much too early to speculate, but I can't help feeling that this is too perfect for the administration. The manifesto reads like what the right imagines a trans person would say:
"I was corrupted by this world and have learned to hate what life is"

That’s edging dangerously close to Alex Jones’s sandy hook rhetoric.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 days ago

Alex Jones could have...and should have...used his platform to highlight how the media ran the Sandy Hook story.

They were almost gleefully running around trying to interview anyone in the area, for any reason, just to say they had "new information". They ran the same footage of the scene on a loop in the background, while they rehashed the same details, over and over again, for days. They were looking for anything they could squeeze out of that tragedy, in the hopes of generating more ratings.

It was fucking disgusting.

Instead, he took everything they did, and used it to "prove" that it must have been a hoax. Instead of exposing the 24 hour news cycle for what it was...a soulless, profit-driven cesspool...he doubled down on it, and made himself look even worse by comparison.
