Wait, so the answer to trans women using women's toilets is...armed men in women's toilets instead? I don't even know why I'm surprised about how terrible that "argument" is

The Gender ‘Critical’ terrorist at the University of Waterloo was not acting alone, he was acting on the behalf of the likes of Keen-Minshull, J.K. Rowling, Graham Linehan, and the rest of the leaders of the Gender ‘Critical’ Ideology. **NOTE ABOUT LATE PUBLISHING** Really sorry about how late this video is. I uploaded it on the 30th, just two days after the attack. KZitem naturally flagged it for potential monetization problems, so I asked for review, expecting it to take a day or two. They still haven’t reviewed it. I’m really frustrated about how KZitem just doesn’t seem to care. I held off on the video because Udita is between jobs meaning we’re down to a single income and every £ counts, yet I don’t feel I can hold off any more. I feel kind of embarrassed releasing it this late.

Heard here first; transmisia. The “misia” in transmisia means “hatred.” This is a helpful word because it highlights the prejudice at the root of beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and systems that hurt or deny the existence of trans and nonbinary people.

Which is funny since a clinical phobia isn't just an irrational fear, but any aversion, including anger and disgust. So whilst I might agree with that quote's conclusion, I disagree with the premise. XD

It is like the word fascist. It has so much baggage and misinterpretation that it no longer is taken seriously in general. We always need to come up with new definitions that will allow people to understand the danger of hateful dehumanizing ideology.

Saw this story about the university attack first from Sandee Lovas who loves right there in Waterloo on her channel Left Of The Box. It is terrifying that these stochastic terrorism inspired events are happening at all, but even more so when they happen right in your own backyard. It really is disgusting that these people hate trans people so much based entirely on hysteria and boogyman stories, and that real trans individuals don't impact their lives in the slightest. If this "trans panic" keeps up, I might be forced to join the thousands that are seeking asylum in more accepting countries like Norway, Sweden, and Argentina...

when i first heard this story, it was in a news article that mentioned how the university's emergency notification system didn't alert students until 90 minutes after the attacks. i was shocked to hear that. if this was a shooting or a coordinated effort with multiple assailants, many more people could've been hurt during the incident. as an american, i tend to assume guns will be involved in terrorist attacks, and i would hope that any institution would have a more robust emergency notification system.

Tony Kushner wrote an essay (The Nation November 11, 1998) regarding the murder of Matthew Shepard. It angered the Catholic church because it put the blame for stochastic terrorism on those who encourage it while denying their complicity.

For now we just have to keep going on, keep talking, and keep supporting one another. I know it might not sound like much, but currently it's a battle of attrition and we've got the one advantage, there's nothing these people can say that will stop us from existing. As long as people are alive, there will be trans folk among them.

Exactly! Society tolerates this stuff cuz they think it won't happen to them, only the "other guy", so hey! It's all good!!! Of course, they don't realize it *could* be them, and then they have the nerve to act surprised when it hits close to home.

At first I thought there was no way you could pin this on Keen-Minshull. Then I listened to her inflammatory rant. Keen-Minshull with her "Men who carry? Is that the American lingo?" echoes the former president's threats against Hillary Clinton. (Paraphrased, "maybe our Second Amendment people could do something about that") All under the cloak of plausible deniability, like the classic quote "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" It's an incitement to stochastic terror.

For some reason, people like to think this stuff just doesn't happen in Canada; the nicer sibling of the USA. But there's TONS of influence from the USA, not only because its the only bordering country, but also because the population of Canada is mostly situated near the southern borders, and thats where most of the cities are. Growing up Canadian, I had thought the same. It's scary how close to home its all getting

The problem is hate is so easy to stoke up with false narratives. When they create the other scapegoat it is a convenient vehicle to channel resentment, personal inadequacy and feelings of insecurity. A chance to feel empowered and focused. The uncritical mainstreaming of these hateful ideas is the problem. It is also profitable because the people who amass fortunes have done so by dehumanizing the people they profit from. They feel apart and superior and to assuage their own deep set guilt they blame the other.

While I can't think of any incidents like this off the top of my head, I'm sure that this isn't the first and hope that this is the last. I don't know where to start with how people need to start taking action against those who push transphobic rhetoric because hatred of others doesn't stop at the hated group; hatred hurts everyone.
