Jay UlfelderI 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.
nonlinear@jayulfelder It's less about intentions and more about impact.
This game of "what goes in the heart-of-hearts of the abuser" is just a distraction because it centers them.
