#like the fact that every article is raving to mention that theyre trans....

[bluebeetle]

revealing that the nashville shooter is supposedly transgender, without revealing what gender they id as or any other information other than that, being a former student, and a name... absolutely evil, because it allows people to construct their own narratives and this is going to mean so many awful people blaming the entire trans community (and assuming the shooter is a trans woman bc transmisogyny)

(edit: i wrote this rly early in the morning when reading the news, see tags and notes for more thoughts ig cuz im making this unrebloggable bc transphobes r annoying)

#txt #like the fact that every article is raving to mention that theyre trans.... #this is definitely going to be used to fuel anti-trans hate at a time where its already rampant #shooting tw #ive seen claims the shooter is a trans man but i still feel like transmisogyny will lead to most people assuming trans woman. i see that a #ot where thats the assumption #its fucking disgusting. and ive already seen people trying to say not to misgender the shooter being told theyre terrrible people #and that clearly they care more about pronouns than children dying and its like no. #the shooters dead misgendering them does nothing but harm other trans people #it shows that their rights and respect for them is conditional. step out of line #and suddenly its ok to be misgendered. ugh. #its frustrating bc what this person did (im refusing to use their dead name or the one they went by) #is abosulutely awful. no one is actually defending him #but that doesnt excuse transphobia. and yet if you try to point out someone is being transphobic suddenly your defending a mass murderer #transphobia effects all trans people. not just the ones youre aiming it at
