I don't know if the increasingly open calls from right-wing influencers for violence against trans people and their allies are heartfelt or cynical ploys to draw attention, but as someone who's studied ethnic conflict and mass atrocities, I know that it doesn't matter; dangerous speech has the same effect either way.
@jayulfelder @stribley As a trans person, this has been absolutely brutal for my mental health. And what's worse is that for years, as I've tried to warn people about what the right wants to do, I've been told I'm exaggerating.
@parkermolloy @jayulfelder @stribley Holding you in my heart; that experience is the same for POC. Agonizing. #transisbeautiful
