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.
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
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
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
What's a woman doing in a position of power in this administration? Oh wait, she is doing her master's bidding - never mind.
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 a vile human.
Shouldn't she be hiding in a bathroom somewhere, faking injuries while trying to inspect other people's genitals?
Can’t she, like, shut the fuck up? I wish our paths were to cross.
I hope she chokes on her vomit in her sleep.
Realistically, I'd be happy for her to choke on pretty much anyone's vomit. Extra points for creativity.
I volunteer. I'll eat some weird shit
A whole bag of Skittles please, so she can taste the rainbow
The same could work with the right combinations of chili, OJ, corn, peas, blue cacao (or any blue booze), and purple cabbage.
It’s gonna suck a lot more for the vommiter, but she doesn’t deserve to die with a sweet taste in her mouth.
You, I like.
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.
We're not going to take this lying down
The votes were not rigged, more reason for us to be ready.
Bigoted bitch
How come the reporting is censoring the word?
Hate speech is censored to avoid normalizing language intended to encourage violence against the disempowered.
It makes no sense. How people know the word that should not be normalized? I’m non-native speaker and after all blah blah in this thread I still have no idea what is the word. So if someone says it, I won’t even know I should call out that person. Don’t we normalize using slurs by softening reporting? If slur censored why would bigots stop using it if they are not properly shamed? All it does is just hiding issue from media with no effect IRL. IRL, US elected bigot
