This story is about one of the Antifa members arrested in Portland. As the story says, many of the males being arrested are claiming a female gender identity - and thus their arrests and charges are being recorded in the crime stats as female. If they are convicted, these male crimes will be counted as female crimes in the official statistics. This will make it more difficult to rely on crime stats to justify why girls and women need female only spaces - which is one of the reasons these creepy men are doing this.

This journo has been pulling mugshots of arrestees: https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo

They're all white. A lot of them are in privileged colleges. And among them are a disproportionate number of trans and nonbinaries.

And they are Antifa-informed. There's no other way to say it.

Portland is majority white, so that’s not surprising. Interesting about the trans and nonbinaries. Particularly the non-binary fact, I wonder if that shows the type prone to extremism. The trans bit I chalk up to a mental disorder.

I think what’s interesting is that both people I’ve seen mentioned in the media have gone to Reed.

There's one that Ngo says is a current graduate student of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, which publishes the Covid-19 data.

You'd think that in the middle of a pandemic engaging in boisterous crowd behavior resulting in one being arrested (and potentially crowded) is a bad idea. And an indulgent one given that person's field of expertise. She might as well be promoting cruise ships.

Yes, I agree. I looked it up and Oregon’s coronavirus cases have gone through the roof since the protests, but as far as I can tell, no media is linking them to the protests. It’s very dangerous when public health statistics are manipulated because the people collecting the data are ideologues.

Yeah, did you see that Lincoln County OR actually initially banned POC from wearing masks because "oppression"?

WHAT???

The commissioner who spearheaded that just happened to be a TIM.

[–]Rationalmind 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

I heard that on one of Benjamin Boyce’s interviews, yes. But I did not know the commissioner who spearheaded was a TiM. Well, I suppose that confirms my theory that the ideologues who believe in the trans cult are racists.

[–]WrongToy[S] 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

Well according to (TRIGGER WARNING CONSERVATIVE SITE WHO AGAIN WROTE ABOUT JY IN 2018) yeah, it's a TIM

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/jeff-reynolds/2020/06/27/trans-oregon-official-who-created-mask-exemption-for-poc-said-at-gender-confirmation-i-couldnt-wear-this-mask-one-more-day-n583255

Oregon has given us perhaps the most 2020 thing of 2020. The county commissioner who created the exemption to the mandatory mask order for people of color is a trans activist. Her famous quote, while completing “gender confirmation,” was, “I couldn’t wear this mask one more day.”

Hahaha thanks for the link. I don't want to speak for everyone, but imo you don't need to give a trigger warning when it is a conservative site. I am very liberal, but I am also able to parse facts from media bias so don't feel persuaded by any particular source.

This TiM should not be in a leadership role. He had a midlife crisis and appropriated womanhood. Where the TiM says this:

“I’d say our office has heard from at least a dozen people of color. You know one of them said aren’t you aware that the virus disproportionately impacts communities of color? And I said oh yeah absolutely. But also the same people saying that you know they fear an unintended consequence of a well-intentioned policy. Let’s say a person of color comes into our courthouse and chooses not to wear a face covering, they’re actually more likely to be harassed and profiled than if they don’t.

First, the part where he's aware that communities of color are impacted at a greater rate by the virus. This TiM dismisses actual voices of color over the safety concerns they have for their community if exposed to the virus at a greater rate when they don't need to wear masks. Not going to lie, that feels to me like the TiM is passively advocating for their genocide? I might be overblowing what he's saying, but the underlying message is that he's okay with putting their lives on the line because they could in theory be harassed if they wore a mask. At the bare minimum, he's playing a white savior role.

Second, when the TiM commissioner stereotypes people of color hypothetically going to the courthouse and then being subject to harassment on the basis of race. That feels very person of color criminal stereotype to me? I'd like to think that he didn't intentionally stereotype them as criminals, but the hypocrisy is mind blowing.

It's our Rule 9 (here) adaptation of Rule 8. The old community was really split on Rule 8 so this was seen as a compromise, put up whatever link but just tell people who don't want to read it.

What I see here with the TIM is him appropriating everything to make it all about him. Same as that TIM on the City Council in MPLS who started singing "Amazing Grace." How performative. How woke.

I'll be honest, if ever I voted for a TIM/TIF I'd expect them to take a reasonable position on it like Miranda, Rose of Dawn, maybe even Blaire White. Not Strangio, not Grimm, not this TIM or probably 95 percent of them in public view.

It sounds awfully PATERNALISTIC. "Oh black people, you don't understand your own oppression or your own needs. Let me whitesplain them to you."

He expected to see a wig and a ton of makeup looking back at him all his life? WHY do the people of Oregon play along with this?

<Bill Hall sat in a beauty salon near Portland and ordered the full work-up: beard cover, foundation, eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick in a bold pink. And for the final touch, a short auburn wig coaxed over his own graying brown hair.

Hall spun around to face the mirror. He saw Claire for the first time.

An incredible feeling of rightness settled in, a kind of peace that had eluded the Lincoln County commissioner for many of his 58 years. It was so much more than the surface trappings.

“This is what I expected to see looking back at me my entire life,” he thought, “and now it is finally real.”>

That just makes me feel sad for him.

I've been following Andy Ngo on this for a while, too. Depressing to see a Hopkins public health student caught up in it.

Not very surprising though, in NYC two highly educated lawyers who both attended top notch schools got busted for tossing molotov cocktails at police cars. Way to flush it all down the drain.

[–][deleted] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Yes. Also, Portland is an interesting study in the civic and municipal caving to these tactics -- this has been going on for a year, year and a half now.

[–]Rationalmind 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Caving to what tactics?

[–][deleted] 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Exactly what the OP is describing -- Antifa-informed street protests fueled by groups with large numbers of TRAs, NBs, white students from pricey liberal arts colleges, a significant number of them from out of state. Likewise the combative presence of "Proud Boys" and conservative groups showing up to provoke and engage Antifa. MSM wouldn't touch it until very late 2019.

[–]Rationalmind 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Wow, didn’t know that. History repeats itself.

[–]Thatstealthygal 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Are they doing this because they are trans or because they're trying to muddy the waters and make it harder to identify them?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

what are they being arrested for?

[–]WrongToy[S] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ngo's on Twitter. He listed what everyone was arrested for.
