Nobody asked about your chromosomes. Nobody cares. That shouldn't matter if what you're saying has value. That's kinda the whole point of discussing sexism. For someone talking about rationality you're acting like you're allergic to hearing other people's points. You instantly resort to ad hominem attacks, put words in other people's mouths and spew the most toxic shit. It's pretty sad that this garbage gets upvotes on this Lemmy. Get off your porn account and get some sleep.

There's no need to be disrespectful to me. I read you. I read your source you linked. I read the original article. You're the only one that said anything about grouping non-binary people as women. Did you read the article? Clearly the people voting you up and me down didn't. Make something else up to get outraged about.

I think the people fighting those issues "on the margins" are likely accomplishing more on the issues you claim are important too though? It's not either or. You don't have to choose to only care about one thing.

The conspiracy part of my mind thinks people saying things like you're saying just don't like trans people, but ultimately don't really care about Palestinian children or climate change either. I'll take people that actually fight for something.

What similar trash could they have talked to saying they wanted to hear if she screamed like a man or not? Is it possible transphobia is one of multiple motives for their murders? Because the transphobia is certainly there, and that's an explicit statement by one of the killers of their motives. Are we just ignoring that or explaining it away that they said it because it's talking trash? If that's the case why should we believe they just wanted to experience killing somebody? That's based on what they said too. Why believe one and not the other? Why is it so hard to believe they're transphobes, but not that they're murderers?

They may have multiple targets planned, but they only murdered one person. That person was trans, and the fact that they went so far as to call her "it" and expressed wanting to see if she screamed like a man suggests that was not a non-factor in their decision making. Anti-trans sentiment would be better combatted by drawing attention to it and calling it out when it happens. Not denying that it exists or that it is significant. Obviously their desire to kill someone may be a primary motivation. But transphobia was absolutely a secondary motivation, and it does a disservice to Brianna to deny that.
