      Well that’s a very easy thing to say but I’m afraid you’re going to have to be more specific.

        funny how we can defend property through a system of laws and enforcement but that’s not specific enough to stop hate crimes

          Okay so you don’t know then? It’s ok to just say that.

            don’t know what? laws that criminalize being queer should be stricken from the books and the people who do hate crimes should be punished. both of those elements are being rolled back in the US and you’re being obtuse.

              laws that criminalize being queer should be stricken from the books

              There are no such laws in existence in this country.

                Meanwhile in reality, there is still plenty of shit on the books that will be enforced again if the conservative Supreme Court changes precedent and new laws are being passed with the ultimate goal of exterminating trans people.
