The trans Americans turning to guns for protection

An article in WAPO about Trans arming themselves. I am annoyed he's using the teacup grip style.

Rodriguez explained why she thought trans people were taking up arms. “A lot of trans people kind of share the sentiment of death before detransition,” she said. “If our hormones are taken away, we’d rather just kill ourselves. So, we’re not going out without a fight.”

The Washington Post spoke to a dozen trans people for this article. Many of them spoke on the condition of anonymity — or insisted that only their first name be used — for safety reasons. All said they were arming and educating themselves about guns because they were scared of what Trump’s presidency will bring. “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you,” one election ad famously intoned.

Hate crimes against trans and gender nonconforming people had already increased 16 percent in 2023, according to a Human Rights Campaign report based on FBI data. At least 32 trans people were killed in the United States in 2024. One in four trans people reported being physically attacked because of their gender identity, according to a 2022 survey by The Washington Post and KFF. An analysis of Bureau of Justice data from 2017 to 2018 in the American Journal of Public Health found that trans Americans are four times as likely to be the victims of violence than cisgender people. Three-quarters of trans victims of fatal gun violence are Black and Latina trans women, noted a 2024 report by Everytown, a gun-control organization.

They aren't turning to guns for protection, they are turning to guns to impose their will on others via threats of violence.

Er... ok. please cite.

 

[martybegan]

Er... ok. please cite.

it's in the first part of the fucking story, "we may need to kill ourselves if we don't get our hormones."

Meanwhile the discussion is only about banning this shit for minors.

Thats not threatening others.

 

[martybegan]

It's threatening violence.

 

[Zincwarrior]

It's threatening violence.

Not to others. You are reaching hard than a monkey grabbing something shiny in a jar.

I didn't say to others, I'm saying implying violence to influence others.

And we have already seen some of them go in rampages.

Another stupid story written by a talking head. These trans live in America and most people there have guns. The trans know what they're up against and and most probably already own guns.

Thomas Jefferson said to teach your children the use of firearms at an early age, he was right. If you don't have a full gun safe by 19 then you will be one of these kids that ends up killing yourself or someone else with a gun some other yahoo moron left unsecured.

Well, good for them. It's a right all Americans have

Man in skirt points gun at street preacher's head on streets of San Francisco....

30 second video:

Finger on trigger, pointed directly at his head. Shouldn't be too hard to identify this one. Carrying concealed in his purse, he had a proper permit, right? California says gun laws work, right?

Preacher's shocking response as a trans woman pulls a gun on him

A well-known San Francisco street preacher hardly flinched after a transgender woman held a gun to his face after he said: 'God made men to be men.'

Sounds like a felony. And?

Sounds like a felony. And?

You have previously posted your support for red flag laws, and trans folks are crazy, so according to you, they should be prevented from having guns.

By the way, looks like ATF needs to update their 4473 form since there are only two genders...

The fallacy of your argument is arguing that Trans are crazy - or to be specific - dangerous, without citing evidence. Anecdotes are not evidence. Otherwise white males over thirty should be imprisoned as statistically they are materially all the historical serial killers.

Actually, if you do the math using recent data, you'll find that trans are more than 10 times as likely to commit mass killings, I bet.

And all black males, who commit ~60% of all murders.

You would bet wrong.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Not certain on the 60%, but statistically a higher percentage than percentage of population.

If we followed stats, only old women and licensed to carry gun owners should have guns.

 

[marvin martian]

Trans are frequently lynched.

Where? When?

 

[M14 Shooter]

Not certain on the 60%, but statistically a higher percentage than percentage of population.

Very much so.
