For fucks sake, trans people. Stop going on mass shooting sprees.

@JessTheUnstill To be fair, we were going to be blamed for them anyway.
@SymTrkl sure, but that's just within the right wing sphere. It wouldn't be shit reported in even center news.
@JessTheUnstill The (not so) amusing part is that most of these people have ties to right wing ideology. As always, that's the actual tie-back here.
@CordiallyChloe Yeah, I know trans people can be right wing fuckheads too. But still...
I know it's scary right now. But unfortunately, we're a minority. And that means the bigots who hold power will always use us as a punching bag.
There is no amount of good will our community can gain that won't be wiped out in a millisecond by one unhinged person.
We see it with Muslims, black people, and every other stereotyped minority.
I don't like violence in any sense of the term. And yeah, this kind of thing exacerbates the rhetoric. But we can't stop it. It's going to happen, sadly. And bigots are going to use it against us no matter what.
@CordiallyChloe I know, but I can still rant about it and hate the fact that this sort of shit makes it harder for normies to see us as a generally peaceful minority that commits violence almost never. I wouldn't be surprised if this puts us above our population size in percentage of mass shootings for the year. The Canada one in particular was their worst mass shooting in years.
@JessTheUnstill Oh absolutely. I'm not stopping you from ranting. Please. Scream about it. You're 110% right to. It's horrible and makes all our lives harder.
@CordiallyChloe I mean, not to mention that innocent people are dead.
I know that we're all under a lot of hatred and stress, but for fucks sake ...
