Let’s not forget how misleading these statistics are, the studies reflecting low detransition rates was riddled with misinformation.
Too short duration, lack of follow up, etc.
If the journalist in question is Kalen D'Almeida, it's also well worth noting that Mr. D'Almeida is young, male, and a good sized dude—the precise demographic that, until Sunday afternoon, alws turned TRAs into simpering little milquetoasts (and turned their cars back into pumpkins, too). Before this incident, I can't immediately recall TRAs physically assaulting a man any younger than Uncle Fred (Sargeant), who is well into his seventies.
There were also a number of hint-hint-nudge-nudge posts from TRAs with good-sized followings who—without directly saying so, but, absolutely unmistakably—were calling for people to shoot cops and Republican politicians. Like holy shit? Do they actually believe that their movement—or they, personally—would be alive for more than a few days if they did that?
SMH The frothing insanity is just snowballing (these posts were more explicit calls to violence even than most of the "kill die terfs" rhetoric, unbelievably enough)
Literally no one likes these peoplle. Not even the most insanely radicalized Justice Democrats like or respect them. The only reason they're even given the time of day by anybody at all—let alone the massive grab-bag of privileges that Pritzker Buck$ bought them—is because the empathy of millions of left-leaning people (which is also the main reason most of them are left-leaning!) has been hijacked and taken hostage, to such an extent that tons of them ACTUALLY BELIEVE that they immediately gna go off and unalive themselves if we cut off the goddam morphine drip of unearned institutional privilege and fucking stolen LGB valor.
These sads have NO IDEA how quickly the entire mirage of their "marginalized group" status will fucking vanish if they actually go out and shoot LEOs or public-facing personas like politicians. It will be FAFO to the max—and i'm jaded enough at this point that I rlly won't give a fuck as far as the TQ+ (who have been fully consequence-free pieces of shit for a solid decade now, more in some places). Sow reap etc. Cry more.
On the other hand, I'm at the point of horrified tears thinking what might be visited on LGB people, as acts of misdirected vengeance. The time window for a LGB✂️WTFOMGBBQ2SPF+++ divorce is running VERY short, if indeed there's time left at all.
