I hope it collapses in on itself too. I agree that most TRA's buy into the belief that "trans people are literally being murdered on the street." Biden the other day tweeted about forty something trans people being killed so far in 2020. It's a lot on it's own... but it completely ignores the size of the U.S. In 2016, 49 gay men were killed in four hours at Pulse. In Chicago, 60 people can be shot in a weekend. In a country of 320 million people, having a crime tally in the double digits is amazing, but most people don't realize that and are deceived by scary numbers.

Also ignores that very few trans people are murdered simply for being trans. The motives are usually the same for any murder - jilted lovers, revenge, robberies gone wrong, etc. Pretending every one is a hate crime is just dishonest.

Did Big Pharma fund half his campaign or something? What is with the Biden Transgender propaganda?

His dead son Beau was friendly with lots of trans people.

Hence Sarah McBride getting that appointment. They were friends with Beau.

Joe is desperately clinging to memories of his son.
