RE: Don’t blame J.K. Rowling for Brianna Ghey’s death

If this poor boy was murdered for being ‘gender’ non-conforming and possibly gay, that is not the fault of traditional feminists who support everyone’s right to be those things.
If blood is on anyone’s hands, it is on those of people who rigidly support ‘gender’ stereotypes and would rather a boy pretended to be a girl, and was medicated and mutilated accordingly, rather than accepting him as a gay and probably effeminate boy.
Pretending to be a girl didn’t save him and it won’t others. Teaching children that ‘gender’ is nonsense, and that everyone can be themselves as the sex that they are, just might.

These people are actually happy that a teen has been murdered because they think it gives them licence. Anyone can see how dangerous this is. Authorities in denial.

( Richard Parker )
Spot on. Viscerally disgusting, isn’t it?

I suppose it does at least add to the growing pile of evidence: that these people care only about winning the argument they’ve started. They clearly don’t care about human beings – either “friend” or “foe” – they only want to burnish their precious preoccupations and grievances. Nothing constructive will come of this, because a cadre of activists are determined to ensure that.

Immediately that I heard that this poor person was trans, I knew that this stuff would happen. The murder of anyone is abhorrent, and I hope that the person(s) who committed this crime are found and punished; at the moment the authorities don’t have a motive, but even it it were a “hate” crime, this should not be a reason not to be critical of the trans movement. If a racist were to be murdered by a self styled anti-racist we would not be saying that criticm of racists is to blame, we would place the blame where it belongs – with the perpetrator.

Some witches don’t burn. That infuriates the right people.

( Rebecca Bartleet )
The extreme trans activists so openly and actively advocate violent retribution against those who are gender critical, they cannot be surprised if their opponents opt to use it against innocent trans youngsters. Maybe that’s what they want, so they can boost their victim status.
