    A GoFundMe crowdfundraiser has since been launched to help with her medical bills and to afford a lawyer to press charges.

    The US is utterly fucked. Nothing short of a revolution will save them.

      In the US, there is no justice unless you can afford a lawyer.

      I was assaulted at an inpatient institution last December. My stay was illegally upgraded to involuntary; I was denied the ability to file a grievance or speak with a patient advocate. I was also placed on the female ward as a passing transgender man and outed to all other patients. They did not provide me with discharge paperwork; as a consequence, I lost my job.

      I cannot afford a lawyer; there will be no justice for this.

        The more stories about this I hear, the more I just question the reason why gender norms even exist. And I mean that in general.

        Like, what do you mean men shouldn’t act flamboyant and vulnerable? What do you mean little girls should always be seen playing with Barbie dolls (or in the context of my country, Fulla dolls)? Growing up, I never understood why making this distinction beyond the biological and sexual stuff was even necessary. Aren’t we all humans at the end of the day?

    Awful, just awful.

    Y’all, don’t go anywhere without some means of self-defense. A pocket stun gun costs $20, or if you live in a country where they’re banned, carry a pocket corkscrew with a foil cutter on the end.

      I have a slock, which is a lock on a piece of pantyhose. It can be untied and left in my bag and nobody will know what it is at an airport.

      Two rolls of quarters are entirely legal to carry, and act as makeshift brass knuckles in a pinch. The additional mass will make you break your knuckles, but you’ll be shattering their bones as well.

        If you go this route then hammer, don’t punch. I hear that those small steel flashlights with the castellated heads are perfect for exactly that kind of swing.

            You can put a bit more force into a punch from a standing position because you can use your legs, but using a weapon that adds mass to your hands can very easily cause permanent damage if you punch. Using strikes takes advantage of the weapon itself to take the majority of the recoil. The combination of the added mass usually makes the weaponed strike hit harder than an unassisted punch either way.

        Fitspacks are always a bad idea. If you want something legal to carry, start keeping your keys on a locking carbiner rated for rock climbing. If it has a kilonewton (kN) rating stamped in it, it is suitable. This won’t collapse on your hand and no amount of force any human is capable of generating will break it, but anyone whose nose you drive it into at maximum effort is likely to remember the experience. This should also be legal to carry anywhere.

    Yet if we followed conservative logic, they want all trans people to use their birth assigned bathroom. But that means you’ll still have manly, bearded dudes walking into the women’s room because a lot of trans men are manlier than many cis men.

    So even by conservative rules, you will still have people who very much look like cis men walking into the women’s room

      They don’t want trans people in bathrooms or anywhere else. They want to disappear trans people, either by re-assimilating them into their “designated” sex, or if they are too far gone, just plain old disappearing.

        Exactly. They just don’t want them to exist and they don’t care how this happens. This is the ultimate impossible goal they’re trying to achieve. I feel awful for the lgbtq community, because violence against them will only get worse.

      You’re really missing the point still - the regressives want reasons to use their guns. They want reasons to hurt people. The goalposts will continue to move until they face opposition; at that time, they’re prepared to use their second amendment rights to fire upon Americans they disagree with.

      The goalposts will continue to move until they face opposition.

      This is the take I’m surprised isn’t talked about more. If the point is to keep “male passing” people out of women’s restrooms, then you have to accept trans men as men and let them use their assigned rooms as well. Like there’s no “win” condition for the right on this argument and idk why more people aren’t pointing this out. If they’re already clutching pearls over butch looking women, what happens when Elliot page strolls in with a suit jacket and no shirt on?

      They will cheer on the violence.

      They want us in basements, closets, or graves.

      Most don’t care which. Some won’t settle for basements.

      The adjectives cis and lesbian refer to different attributes. Cis refers to gender identity, so her gender matches her sex assigned at birth (in this case, a woman assigned female at birth). A lesbian refers to her sexual attraction, so a woman who is attracted to other women.
