The American LGBTQ and transgender communities are building a new image of the enemy, and these are white, hetero conservative women and men. In the state of Texas, they began to arm themselves quite seriously with the reason that they can defend themselves. At least this is what a former American soldier claims, who visited Iraq and after being demobilized, started a new life as a trans woman under the name Josephine, writes Georg Spöttle.
Interestingly, conservative Texas has the second largest LGBTQ community in the United States. According to them, the state wants to criminalize them and they are subjected to more and more verbal and physical attacks. According to the ex-soldier, there is only one answer to this: you have to arm yourself.
A "great decision" when rampages and mass shootings happen every week in the USA, as recently in Nashville, where the perpetrator also identified himself as transgender. Josephine says that when she goes to a mall, she always keeps her eyes open, if she sees a car with a Southern flag sticker on its bumper, she's on alert because its racist owner might attack her. Also be careful if someone wears the 'Punisher' skull on their jacket or backpack. By definition, he doesn't leave the house without his gun.
According to transgender people, the state of Texas already criminalizes them by allowing someone to call themselves transgender after a medical and psychiatric examination and a proper diagnosis. Health insurance companies do not support gender reassignment surgeries. He broke the safeguard for people who identify as transgender, that they will be fined $10,000 if someone goes to a school or kindergarten and promotes LGBTQ or gender change as a "drag queen".
New Hampshire's transgender community thinks so. Here, too, more and more people are buying firearms and going out to the shooting range to practice. According to the visitors, the hetero society is becoming more and more hostile and you need to be able to protect yourself. The violent LGBTQ and transgender lobbies are doing a lot for this dangerous situation.
Over the past few years, they have successfully constructed the image of the enemy as who we are: conservative straight women and men. We have to take up arms for our sake, or better said, against us. The Black Lives Matter movement was a successful attempt to manufacture an enemy image and divide society, but it was only sustainable for a short time. On the other hand, the LGBTQ and trans lobby, which has more and more material and "moral" support, can become much more deeply embedded in societies. Western liberal thinking is the hotbed of this.
Trans Day of Vengeance, whatever that means, is being celebrated this Saturday in Washington, DC. Obviously, it won't do any good, and if we recall the shootings in Nashville, Denver or Washington, we saw that the perpetrators defined themselves as transgender. The trouble begins when we put people with visible mental problems on a pedestal and constantly put the horse under them by calling them brave and special, and often it is no longer the knowledge and education of the person that matters, but their gender that determines their social value.
If they are even armed now, it is easy to imagine that the madness experienced during the BLM movement will dominate the streets of America again and it is enough if someone looks at a transgender person badly, they will use a firearm because they are afraid of an attack. The court acquits and the vicious circle begins, because others will act similarly. Radical conservative groups will start treating transgender people as enemies after this. It wouldn't do American society any good if we got to that point.
