The beginning didn't hit me as angry (I'm not from MN or anywhere culturally close, and I'm bad at guessing emotion in my own dialect, but I'm sure anyone more savvy than I could tell from the first few words) but by the end even I could tell, this man was radioactive.

That makes complete sense, and it's a great way to secure your contact.

💯 understandable!

I can't message you. Are your dms open?

There are statistical studies that show trans and gnc people are more at risk of domestic violence.

I responded, and added context, to your framing of the issue.

You're the one asking about her being trans. Don't start the race shit too

I'm willing to chat, but it'll have to wait a while; I'm at work 😅 I'm sorry for the way you were spoken to. Emotions run high, but that's not a good reason to be ableist.

I have, actually. Every death is a tragedy. Let people mourn the ones that hit them hardest, the ones they see themselves in most clearly. It's not a contest.

I think the reason people get upset is because *on a post about violence against black people* you choose to reframe the argument to be against white people. It's not really the place for it. It's the same argument the person i replied to is making. "Why trans people" bc they're targeted unfairly.

I understand your reaction. I would like to point out that I do see reports of violence against white trans people. According to the Trans Remembrance Project, of the 27 *reported* violent deaths in the last year (this one is not on their list), 17 of them were black victims and 7 were white.

Very much not what I said but go ahead and make the argument

I hate how the writer of the article refused to gender her.

Black trans women are disproportionately targeted as victims of violence. We care because black lives and trans lives matter, and we should mourn those stolen from us.

I got to pet the softest sweetest cat today. And her asshole brother whose fur is so dense he feels like a chinchilla. (He's a brat, but he's still sweet)

That's not what this town needs. There's a ton of restaurants, a ton of Airbnb and real bnbs. There's no theater, no third space, no meeting place. We need a community hub.

Rich people don't know how to spend their money FOR a community.

It's a bad news sandwich! Gotta slip it between mundane stuff!

You know full well he'd shoehorn his way into it being the 69th regimen whether one already exists or not.

Cat is a way funnier mental image tbh
