If you're a news outlet who doesn't mention the possibility of transphobia as a reason an out trans girl was killed (or even that she was trans), but does mention trans status any time a trans person commits a crime, you are creating an enemy the public can't sympathize with, but only can see as a risk to themsleves. I am so tired. 12 comments
@joelle Pretty sure that's the point. Same strategy used against black people in america. It'll never stop amazing me how people have such difficultly learning from attacks of others. It's in general...the same kinds of people attacking others in most of the same ways. @hotheadhacker That's an unfortunate truth. Trans people are often seen as a threat to society when in reality they just want to be accepted and treated with respect. #TransRightsMatter @joelle If you are truly tired, and there is real enemy but not sympathized population about this double-standard, you dont need to be tired, the irritated people, which is majority, in your case will talk for themselves. If this is not correct, then they are making more friends than enemies with their stupid ads, which would be logical for their perspective. @joelle Does it count if they mention that possibility but in the context of denying it? /s Solidarity, hugs, bin-kicking. :-(  @joelle I have noticed that. I have also noticed they do exactly the same thing with skin color. Skin color is only mentioned when the perpetrator isn't White.  @joelle Any chance you could still add a content warning to this? :( It's honestly quite triggering to constantly read about the situation with no way to filter it @joelle Jamelle Bouie hit the nail on the head just the other day: "There is no world in which their freedom is suppressed and yours is sustained." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/10/opinion/trump-desantis-transgender-rights.html |

@joelle At this point I can't help but feel they know and don't care
