Really disturbing, but not sure this belongs on a GC sub?

What's really sad is that many of the white kids participating in this mob behavior are relatively privileged, while many of the business people whose life's work is being destroyed by looters are not.

Also, to put this in perspective, I was attacked by a mob of male George Dubya Bush supporters at a peace rally when all I was doing was holding a peace sign.

Both sides have their extremists.

I think it is relevant to GC because it's compelled speech or compelled action, just like personal pronouns are (or will be). In Canada, gender pronouns are already considered compelled speech by the government. Not going along with them can potentially be considered "hate speech" (kind of like how people lately have been saying "silence is violence" when it comes to not saying "BLM" or raising a fist). Compelled speech/action are the beginning of the loss of free speech.

And those same privileged people are the ones who have nothing else to do but change genders because they're too bored being "cis" or straight. TRAs and BLM are very tightly entwined I've noticed.

Unfortunately many women only see TRA dogma as wrong because it effects them personally in a negative way. They still want to hold on to these bad ways of thinking in other areas where other people are the losers. But it always comes back on women eventually because we are the easiest target.

I mean this women was even a sometime protestor herself she just didn't agree with their tactics. Being on the good guys side won't save you if that side turns authoritarian.

Support of transgenders specifically is part of BLM's platform. You can read it on BLM's website.
