I'm new to saidit! I hit peak trans years ago, when Laverne Cox started agitating for a mtf named Synthia Blast to be released from jail because he was MTF.. but the dude had raped and killed a little girl. I jumped off the gender train and said hell no. Even though I do not consider myself a feminist, I'm proud to be a terf.

Laverne didn’t know at the time. When she found out what happened, she stopped supporting Blast’s release. Also, welcome to Saidit! It’s a safe space, so you’ll enjoy it here :)

He. "Laverne" is a man.

Only an idiot publicly supports an inmate without knowing what that inmate is in jail for.

If he really didn't know (which I seriously doubt) then he still blindly thought that supporting a trans person was more important than whatever thing he might have done.
