Trans People Can Also Do Bad Things

Because they are human beings like the rest of us

I am against discriminating against anyone, regardless of race, gender, religious affiliation (or lack thereof), ethnicity, and, yes, sexual or gender identity. If someone comes out as trans — that is none of my business… UNLESS that person tries to infringe on my personal space.

This is where I think some progressives get out of line. Just my opinion of course, but I consider myself to be a traditional liberal. Which means I believe in the basic human rights and freedoms of all people. I believe all people should be treated with dignity and respect, whether they are wealthy, homeless, undocumented, or their ancestors came over on the Mayflower.

So I think the every person indicted in the United States deserves equal access to our legal system — whether the person was accused of being a Muslim terrorist, an antifa rioter, or a J6 insurrectionist. They all are entitled under the law to get their day in court.

Sometimes this results in a miscarriage of justice in the sense that a guilty person walks free. However, as Benjamin Franklin famously said, “better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”

I think the latter is irrelevant.

I consider this action evil, just like what happened at Uvalde was evil. To go into a school and kill children is evil.

And the gender identity of the killer — who cares?

It’s like that scene in My Cousin Vinny where Marisa Tomei talks about killing a deer — she imagines the scene were the innocent deer is drinking from a clear brook and — BANG — it gets shot.
