    When we were living in the high desert of california our friend would meet up at mcDs to let our kids play together. we were minding our own fucking business when a white stranger who asked our white friend if he was “okay”. As in was he ok with hanging out with us asians. This was before covid, only 70miles out of DTLA.

    We don’t live there anymore thank god. Many are not fortunate enough to move away from this kind of hostile environment. How in the fuck can you say that for them to get a gun to defend themselves is irrational and insane?

        That’s a nice thought and all, but the reality of the situation is that conservatives would sooner chop off their own genitals than give up their guns.

        These people are waiting for Trump’s signal, and then they’ll start shooting their neighbors. They dream about it, they fantasize about it. Only an absolute idiot with a suicide wish chooses to not own a gun in the current political climate America is in.

        This is not about getting shot or not this is about marginalized people defending themselves from a society that wants them dead. Plenty of trans folks fear for their lives without one bullet being shot so your logic fails.

        If they do want to arm themselves, who I am to tell them that’s irrational. I’m not trans. I don’t know what their life is like.
