I mean, yeah, ONLY GAY PEOPLE get to be afraid, but oh no, not Republican’s/Conservatives who are shat on at every opportunity, get their talks crashed by a bunch of wussie crybabies who have nothing better to do than disturb other people who just want to listen to Ben Shapiro talk.
“The allegations of kidnapping were found to be invalid by a court! They came with me voluntarily! Sure, there was mentions of cutting fingers and we took their shoes, but they agreed to come with us in the end so it technically not kidnapping!” he said in reference to that time he, as a police officer, left 3 indigenous children stranded 12km out of town in 1994, which was only 23 years ago and so when he says “a 30 year old incident” we can only assume he’s getting confused about which of his multiple alleged kidnapping incidents he is meant to be defending himself against.
“Could be worse though,” he continued. “People could be focusing on how I mowed a swastika into my backyard and saluted it, then posted it on Facebook. I’m glad that one’s getting far less media attention.”
“But to be fair there’s just so much to choose from. The kidnapping incident, the nazi stuff, or the death threat I sent to a former employee. How can the media choose one aspect of me to focus on when I am such a complex and diverse piece of shit?”
It has become a long standing tradition for One Nation candidates to have their horrible pasts brought up to be used against them to prove their worth as controversial and despicable human beings.
Pauline Hanson has defended this selection process stating: “our voter base only wants the toughest of scum to represent them. Each candidate must prove they’re both a terrible enough person to receive massive amounts of scorn online and to be tough enough to not let it get to them. Mr Ellis unfortunately complained about the “pathetic haters” and realised the job was too hard on him and has resigned. But don’t you worry, we will continue to find the very worst of society to represent our party in the future.”
Stop shaming men who like us, stop calling them gay when they’re not, stop watching dudes play us on screen.
Yes, it’s actually a deeply complicated and nearly intractable set of issues at the dangerous intersection of race, class, homophobia, misogyny, and economics, but the thing that most people can DO, right now, no matter who or where they are, is really that simple: stop shaming the men who like us, stop letting us be portrayed by men.
After years of thinking on this issue, listening to survivors of assault, reading the reports, talking to countless trans women/sex workers, that’s the heart of this. Straight men kill trans women partners because other people, and culture as a whole, says it’s gay, less masculine, to be with us.
So shut it down. Shut down every person or conversation that claims trans women are “really” men, every media depiction with men playing us.
If y’all have other ideas, I’d love to hear them. I’ve seen endless “stop trans murders” posts but no suggestions as to how, or any accountability.
do you guys see this shit
i really had to take a break from this post before coming back to reblog
like… it is gay, actually, for a male to be sexually interested in another male. but that’s ok… no one deserves to die for it. the answer isn’t to force everyone to deny reality and insist that it’s not gay. men should.. not be doing these “no homo” killings to begin with……………

no
hey terf? shut the fuck up. i’m in danger when i leave the fucking house because of this. did u actually have a solution to society’s treatment of trans women? or do you want to quit pretending like you or any terf are even against these killings, you gutless sack of shit?
a trans woman was beaten to death in public in broad daylight in australia this week. not to mention those of us who just go missing and don’t get news reports. not to mention those of us who are murdered and their family hides they were a trans woman in life from news sources to avoid the shame. straight men kill their trsns partners because it’s been so amazingly normalised in mainstream media. so what’s your suggestion if it’s not telling society as a whole to respect us?
and since I’ve heard from terfs that trans deaths don’t even compare to the number of women killed by their partners, why the fuck don’t you think this matters? why the fuck do you say you’re against domestic violence if you’re not willing to admit that this has been normalised for decades against trans women?
