I actually read the article and clicked on the link to the hearing back and forth and can't find what the anti trans slur was. Honestly I can't think of what an anti trans slur would be so I guess its possible I somehow missed it but I assumed it would be obvious.
Saying "tranny" is a slur.
ok yeah. I would have picked up on that I think. I did not see it. I mean I get they don't want to say the slur but having to rely on someones basically opinion on what is what is sorta difficult nowadays.
God this bitch is so desperate to cling to her 15 minutes of fame.
T**nny today
F**got tomorrow
N****r next week
This is escalation to test the waters
They are not testing the waters, there isn't a plan. They are just bigots doing hateful things
You are right in that there may be escalation because sooner than later these assholes will realize Trans people are so few as to be invisible to them, they'll once again see their own lives are pitiful and move onto hate someone else just to feel good about themselves for a hot minute
Honestly, I didn't know that was a derogatory word, because I hear it used by people within the lgbqt community. Maybe it's like the n-word where only certain people can get away with saying it?
EG, there was a famous SF club with that word in its name https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trannyshack
And most people would just go "hey man, that word is deragatory" and you'd probably go "oh sorry," and everyone moves on and grows.
But Mace was told directly "hey that's a derogatory term" and then proceeded to spew it repeatedly, because she's a cunt.
I read this article just to learn what slur was used, but they only lost it as t*****. I'm just going to assume the hurtful slur is trumpy.
The MAGA Cult holy grail is when they can keep their careers intact after shouting the N-word in the capitol and say that they don't care.
They're almost there. Keep sleeping, murica
Hey man if I lived in the USA I would probably start planning something incredibly violent as a response
The actual stripping of protections, the laws they are or will pass, those are bad enough already, but sometimes it feels like the worst part is just how brave these bigot shitfuckers have become now that their pet nazi is in power. They don't even have the decency to be afraid to fly their hate flag anymore. They were always shitty people, but at least they used to feel like the country at large would reject them for expressing their true feelings, hence all the pushback against "Cancel Culture." Now, though, they're not even afraid of ostriziation, much less anything more substantial.
Some future documentarian's job just got easier.
Documenting facts with an intention to educate? That's definitely going to be illegal.
What's a woman doing in a position of power in this administration? Oh wait, she is doing her master's bidding - never mind.
What a vile human.
Shouldn't she be hiding in a bathroom somewhere, faking injuries while trying to inspect other people's genitals?
This is a government of the absolute worst people.
For the absolute worst. The votes were not rigged.
Read this and tell me what you think please. I was convinced everything was mostly legit until I read that. Author provides their credentials at the end if you want to check that out before wasting your time.
With the presence of russian tails and donald telling people not to vote he has plenty, doubt.
Can’t she, like, shut the fuck up? I wish our paths were to cross.
