A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

Are you concerned about the trends of anti-trans incitement to violence? (lemmy.world)

There was a growing pattern of Influential conservatives blaming trans people for mass shootings. This trend seems to be as recent as August 28th or 2 weeks ago.

With charlie kirk's death, and people speculating he was killed by a trans person, it seems like that's going to further incite and escalate things. For example, Jesse Waters eluded that trans shooters were attacking conservatives, especially Trump & Charlie, effectively inciting violence to LGBTQ people.

In my personal opinon, I'd say avoid LGBT centers, parades, crowds. Staying home is a safe option, avoid being openly queer in public areas. That's my two cents. It's not a safe time right now.

"Why don't we just let the fascists win?"

Suggested without a hint of fucking irony.

This isn't a new phenomenon, it's happened multiple times. What you're suggesting never works.

Even if there aren't any people around who are trans, this is a witch-hunt:

Hiding is never a viable method to fight fascism

Quacky is a loser using AI for his responses. They should not be taken seriously. Quacky is also concerned trolling which are inflamming lemmy threads.

FiremanEd is a liar

Using ai -- FALSE
Is concern trolling -- FALSE

Snakes are symbols of lies. I would characterize your lying behavior snake-like.

Your track record speaks for itself.

Ok friend. Remember that I am a human being. A real person. I have emotion, a life, a history, located on planet earth. Can you please not make up falsehoods about me in the future? Thanks
