Gee the christian right are pushing the trans thing with the shooting aren't they?

I suppose they know that trans people are killed a lot more often than they kill in the US? Probably due to christian ideology driven hate crimes.

But crudely analysing the murder rate, on average your kids will be safer with a trans storyteller than a cis one. But conservatives in the US aren't for sitting on their hands after a tragedy when they can be out there spreading false narratives to support their bigotry.

The proportion of cis mass murderers to trans mass murderers is something like 50,000 to 1.

Edit: what do we have here - a trans teacher of the year?: https://www.hourdetroit.com/education-schools/owen-bondono-michigans-first-transgender-teacher-of-the-year-on-being-the-educator-he-needed/

You may have overlooked the part where he noted:

Focusing instead on:

on average your kids will be safer with a trans storyteller than a cis one.

Fair enough. It's still a dumbass comparison by ActuallyNot. The risk is something worse than murder.

Yeah. They might have a tolerance for people, and in rare cases, themselves.

And the world would be a less dark place.

But at least murder isn't as bad as that.

No. It refutes the cartoon's thesis by 5,000,000%.

An error even an astrophysicist would baulk at.

Maybe it's a metaphorical/symbolic gun

Careless, given the news at the moment, as it would likely be misinterpreted.

What is it a metaphor for?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (17 children)

deadly ideas and degeneracy, of course

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (16 children)

Deadly ideas huh?

... What is a deadly idea that a trans person might teach children more than a cis person would?

degeneracy huh?

... Awkward metaphor: What's degenerate about a gun?
