Gender ideology methods are terrorism, tho. They are real terrorist there.

"Do X or Y will die", mostly "give me access to your spaces or i will kill myself" or "transition or your kid will die". Or "Die, transphobe!". Or dead rats in Vancouver Rape Relief. Or hitting the windows to silence female-only meetings.

Fearmongering on jobs, that people afraid to speak up, to not lose position. And so on.

And now fearmongering with laws - no one can oppose or say against them anything. Any misused pronouns because of brain damage and bad memory (like myself) or just forgot? Prison time!

Classic terrorism!

So TERF is Terrorism Elimination Reactionary Force!

The government in Ireland wants to bring in hate speech laws that include transsexuals as a “protected class”. Hopefully they fail, but there is a real possibility that you can get arrested in Ireland for saying sir to a man who identifies as a woman. Make no mistake, the real reason this is being proposed is because the government wants to crack down on people who criticise the government - they’re wannabe dictators. And New Zealand has also been sliding down into authoritarianism since the Christchurch shooting, which the NZ government allowed to happen. The Anglosphere is becoming a joke at this point. I’m thinking of learning German or Spanish because at some point learning English in non-English speaking countries will be pointless. Countries like Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK and the USA are jokes. Who takes us seriously anymore?

I don't remember Tarrant targeting gays, although he probably is a homophobe.

But the LGB... community has been targeted by previous terrorist attacks.

Australian Muslim leader Sheikh Shady who is known for his extreme homophobia and who had once talked in a conference alongside someone else who called for all gay people to be executed (and who provided moral support to the Florida nightclub shooting), was invited by the Christchurch Muslim community to to New Zealand after the shooting.

He was initially banned from entering New Zealand due to him being banned from entering Denmark, but political interference overturned this ban.

Which is just straight up homophobia by the New Zealand government for allowing him to enter the country.

Here is what New Zealand's largest media company had to say about him initially being banned from entering New Zealand due to previously being banned from Denmark because of homophobia:

The revelation will raise questions about why the Sheikh was on a New Zealand no-fly list, particularly in light of accusations that Australian security agencies and their international partners are too focused on Islamic extremism compared to right-wing terrorism.

Obviously stuff.co.nz believes that promoting extreme homophobia is perfectly acceptable.

So they went "let them be homophobes how they like, just don't let anyone even think, that we mey think bad of Islam"?

They only go after homophobia when perpetrated by the rural white Christian South.

Stuff is well known to be a total load of shit anyway, so this comes as no surprise.

In the leftist belief system: Muslims > Gays

They stand with people who hate all the same people Hitler hated and call that progressive.

Believe me, the nazis were a big gay club and that's well known. One of the reasons why Röhm was dealt with was because he had a well publicized penchant for young German male butts and that was becoming a problem. There are also a lot of homosexuals in the modern nationalist movements.

This is why I don’t support Jacinda Ardern. She’s awful.

There are many reasons why I would not support her either.
