even something as innocuous and seemingly airtight simple as this can be used against minority groups to prevent them from owning guns. Trans people are already being called predators for existing in public. They hurt the innocent children. They hurt themselves by being “mentally ill” or whatever. The reason is always bullshit but the result is the same: just that easily and perfectly within the rule, firearms are denied to trans people, or queer people in general. And now any trans person with a gun is a criminal.

I get what you're saying, but there is no sound logic or evidence backing the implementation of those restrictions. So we're making it complicated when it doesn't have to be.

There doesn’t have to be logic or evidence-based rigor. It just has to “feel justified” and unchallenged. That’s how abuse of power works.
 
Had my first situation where I didn’t know what to do. Up here at my neighborhood Starbucks and there is a new employee. They were very cool and helpful and the next time I came in I wanted to let the manager know. I was talking to the manager and asked the new employees name, not knowing there was multiple new employees.
I didn’t know how to describe said employee, not sure if they are a man or woman…..and I was actually kinda stuck on what to say. Felt bad. Of corse there name is Chris/Kris…..HA!

Anyway, as somebody who doesnt have a ton of experience dealing with this situation, I just didn’t want to be disrespectful at all.
 
An outside-the-box take, for sure.

 
That evil awful terrible trans agenda. Equal rights. What sinister force is behind it?

Sorry.

The only opinion that should count is that of the trans individual. People in dominant groups would never accept interference in their private lives by outsiders but insist on the right to do just that to marginalized people.

Not. Your. Damn. Business.
 
Sure, you have a right to that opinion.

It's almost like when people stop having direct conversations and just communicate through things like message boards/text/social media, their relationships erode and become much tougher to maintain. The loss of direct, one to one, face to face communication is one of the bigger downsides of our current society. Not sure if that's exactly what has happened with these two, but in general it's a really sad situation we find ourselves in.

This is why I keep it simple. I don’t like any of you and I refuse to attend in person events!
 
Yes, ABM and I were more acquaintances than friends. It's not like I've ever helped him move, lol. (The ultimate sign of friendship.) But we've socialized in person in the past and it was always enjoyable.

Now, while I considered ABM an acquaintance, Lanny considered him one of his close friends. We all witnessed the slow decline of Lanny's healthy. Many of you never met him in person or did just in passing at a Blazer forum event, you still reached out to him publicly and privately during the end.

In the last months of Lanny's life, ABM didn't reach out to him one time. Not by phone, email, mail, PM, nothing. And it confused and hurt Lanny. Here is ABM talking in the forum about how he's going to buy Lanny this expensive steak dinner but won't talk with Lanny. The final time Lanny was in the hospital ABM was in Portland. A 10min visit from ABM to Lanny in that fucking depressing VA hospital would have meant the world to him. He could have had that expensive steak dinner delivered to his hospital. Sent to his home. Anything.

One of the nicest people I have ever known in my life died worrying that he had somehow offended ABM.

And that's fucked up.

BTW... ABM has all this time to post hurtful BS about trans people and gay people, or ask for sympathy via PM from forum members over the "widowmaker" heart attack he had, but had no comment or condolences about Lanny's passing until 3 months after it happened.

So no, I have a hard time playing nice to someone who added to the pain of my friend.

Damn, that makes me feel really sad for Lanny to have those concerns towards the end caused by a supposed friend.
What a shitty shitty thing to do.
