Also weird that the article title says 'for trans' instead of 'for being transgender'

Just your daily reminder that even if you're a piece of shit terf that hates trans woman, that your bigotry hurts cis women too.

You can't be a terf and call yourself a feminist. Terfs hate all women with their actions.

[-] P1d40n3@hexbear.net 64 points 1 year ago

Terf isn't enough of a slur.

[-] h3doublehockeysticks@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

We can make it one if we really try.

[-] zan@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

terfs get really mad being called terfs and that's good enough for me

Regardless, when Adams went back to the grocery and called for police from there, it took officers four hours to show up, she said.

NYPD budget: 10 billion dollars

Hey, candy crush isn't going to play itself! Our boys in blue are doing their part in keeping the American economy afloat.

Maybe they’re too busy trying to find Osama in their intelligence unit

There's also the extremely fucked up racist dimension to this where people tend to assume cis black women are trans what-the-hell

this lady has enough shit to deal with, without people talking abt her situation using post-ironic cringe reaction pics

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 58 points 1 year ago

Hexbearians are less irony-poisoned than the posters you're used to encountering.

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago

I dare you to explain why this is "post-ironic cringe reaction pics"

They totally just want to protect women, though

[-] regul@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

The cops' handling of this whole thing is just chefs-kiss

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

Brown said cops dropped the ball by failing to release the video to the media, as they often do when it is trying to identify and locate a suspect, and by conducting just one cursory phone interview with the victim.

They probably hired him onto the force.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

The anti-trans hysteria is terrifying.

I've noticed people that are anti-trans are obsessed about it, it's like they think about it constantly, no wonder these fascist pigs act out like this with increasing frequency.

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup that's Staten Island alright

Note to self: avoid Staten Island even more

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

Staten Island

Why is it always Staten Island? Does the lack of subway access make them fash?

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

They actually do have a metro rail line, but, overall unironically yes. Large parts of it are just a white NYC suburb that can only be reasonably accessed by car, so it's reactionary for the same reasons somewhere like Long Island is reactionary

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Staten Island Railway uses subway rolling stock, but the frequency (every 30 minutes or so) isn't very good and it's isolated from the rest of the network. In this way it's not really a subway line.

I should have known you would be well informed as our resident public transportation enjoyer

Just a misunderstanding

also delis sell weed in new york? what the hell?

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

They legalized weed and then didn't issue any legal licenses to sell it, so a massive grey market sprang up basically overnight

Also quite a few of the sketchier sort of bodega sold weed even when it was illegal

I remember being with a friend when I was in Brooklyn, and getting an eighth with our sandwiches and drinks.

(article quote spoilered for transphobia)

"He said I was trying to get him fired and that he was going to call the cops," she recounted. "I said, ‘Call the cops! I just want my money back.’ Then I heard him call me a transvestite. I’m like, ‘Transvestite? I’m a whole female. I have lady parts.'"

i dunno what to think of the victims of transphobic violence not only not being trans, but also being actively transphobic themselves - it's an extremely weird situation out there

[-] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

Yeah the use of "transvestite" was very telling here.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

"I don't like that you're kicking my head in because you think I'm trans but I'll defend to death your right to do it!"

i don't know anything about this source but it's kind of bitterly amusing that this article has a bunch of pictures of her from different angles, like they know full well that many hogs in their audience are going to want to analyze her appearance and decide for themselves if she "looks trans"

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Another case-study in why cis-gender people should have solidarity with trans-people, if only out of self-preservation. The transphobes are fucking crazy.

They really felt the need to front the fact that she was buying weed and was bi as if those were the most important pieces of information. It smacks of "so long as you aren't queer or buying the devil's lettuce this won't happen to you"

How about "Woman shopping at NYC deli wearing pride watch" just off the top of my head.

Stay away from jazz and liquor!

East coast people are something else lol
