Wolfe and his fiancée, who witnessed the alleged assault, believe the attack was related to Wolfe being transgender, according to court documents.

    I’ve been warning folks for years that right-wing media has been slowly convincing their sheep to accept violence against perceived leftists. We need to be prepared for that inevitability.

      Yeah they are ramping up the dehumanizarion which leads to genocide.

      If you are not white they might keep you around for labor. If you are a white woman, they might keep you around to have children.

      No guarantees for any of us if the white nationalists get their way. Gilead for all.

      Every American reading this.

      Remember your country voted for this kind of violence. You openly wanted this.

        Not sure how I’m supposed to feel reading this as a transgender American who specifically voted against this. Thanks, I know??

          Your country voted for this. Not you. My gf is American and trans and didn’t vote for this, but she is the first to admit her country failed her.

          But if you want to take offence to the fact 2/3rds of your country allowed this to happen, that’s on you, I guess. She’s been banned from her football league. She gets harassed by people on the street. I hear about it way too often. She knows her country fucking sucks because of the population who allowed it. America allowed this to happen. America voted for this. And it’s fucking disgusting and your country should be ashamed.

          You in my original comment is America. You as a country voted for this.
