    Which people were called "conspiracy theorists" decades ago for believing would eventually happen. Yet here we are.

Despite this when I pointed out the definitions to a person who is very involved in the trans community a transwoman being with a woman would be a lesbian. I think it really has more to do with not being deemed "straight" than it has to do with consistent logic and terminology. Many homosexual men and women are now being attacked for not dating the corresponding trans people and they at least are being consistent. They are homosexual and don't want to be with someone of the opposite sex. Somehow the stance they have held for decades is now controversial.

        While I do think that there has been unnecessary confusion caused by the Gender Identity movement I don't think it is fair to use the handful of shooters out there to broad brush all trans people like this.

          I don't. But this thread is about the "Trans Day of Vengeance", which, seeing the pictures that rogue has posted, is fairly far-reaching and involves a number of folk.

            Part of the problem is we don't know how far-reaching it really is or how much are just over-the-top venting or edgy jokes. I'd much rather have people vent in edgy jokes than really hurt someone. Being able to express anger and even violent thoughts in art or words isn't necessarily good but it's quite often better than the alternative. Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez* or the Terfenstein game Diogenes mentioned are both this kind of art.

              Has anyone else seen the video of the "peaceful protest" at the Tennessee capital building? The word "insurrection" comes to mind. Of course, these folk will never be arrested or charged with anything.

                  Of course not, because as we've been told by liberals, it's our fault for not validating and affirming their degeneracy.

                    But okay, you might say, Harry Potter is way better known than the King of Fighters series. So there'd be less of a movement against it. Okay, so how about Nintendo games? Those are super famous. Well, Mohammed bin Salman now owns 5% of Nintendo (and also owns shares in other notable video game companies):

                      Well I don't think thought-detection is possible, so making it illegal to hold a view isn't going to be enforceable.

                      Are you just referring to the discrimination protections of Title VII in the Civil Rights Act, like religion already holds?
                      Or referring to bakers having to bake a wedding cake?

                        Currently they will arrest folks in Britain for nothing more than silently praying and nothing more. Not obstructing access or anything like that since it can happen when an abortion center is closed.

                        I don't see it being much of a step.

                          I heard about Salman's stake from the same people who supported the Harry Potter ban. Salman's stake isn't going to stop them buying Nintendo products. Such pillars of virtue.

                            I stopped following that thread after about the first page when it was noted that she was actually arrested for violating a restraining order. Seemed very mundane.

                              Too bad. Then you would have seen all of the evidence laid out -- almost all supplied by the government itself -- that showed that her offense was praying.

                              Britain is heading down a very dark road if they aren't careful.
