Logan Stevens please

@raphjd Interesting article. Sounds like this doctor and Nike support trans people and their right to be the gender they are. Good for them both I say.

@MrMazda No, they're both part of the same thing. If you're for trans rights, then you should be for kids being the gender they are. Is it mutilation if someone has their appendix removed before it explodes? If you think this is too extreme of an example, talk to some trans people about it. No, really, talk to them about it. Or do the research online, there are a ton of articles and medical papers on it, ready to be read. On actual scientific websites, not facebook. The research into this has been done to death. And even if it wasn't scientifically proven (even more so than people being gay), we can't discredit people's lived in experiences. If you want to "save the children", listen to them.

The police ignore a lot. I'd prefer to be ignored than murdered.
I couldn't see the video unfortunately because I don't want to pay The Sun to use my cookies to make them even more money.
What are you hoping by sharing this? That some people are privileged? Some people are ignorant? Yeah, some people are. But you made it about race.
Again, I haven't seen the video so I can't say for sure. It sounds like she was a dickhead and you want her punished for that. Maybe that video will help in some smacking of wrists, I dunno...

@raphjd Saying this is a problem of the privilege of someone being black and female seems quite absurd considering how many black people get killed and how many more women get killed just for existing.
To me, privilege means someone getting preferential treatment for what they are, not their qualities. A good looking person is more likely to get a job than a less attractive person, that sort of thing.
It sounds like she was an idiot. Idiots come in all flavours of people and idiots will use whatever buzz terms are popular at the time. For example, in the 90s, farmers would blame aliens for being sodomised because aliens, conspiracy theories and even The X-Files was a HUGE thing at the time. Could the real answer be that them enjoying being sodomised is a lot more palatable than admitting they're gay (or possibly something darker?)
If a homeless man told you he was made homeless because of the Jews, would you believe him? Should the police arrest all the Jews because they conspired to make this man homeless? Or would you think he's being a bigoted, paranoid idiot?
So I don't think this is about privilege. It's a hot topic term for our time and is often thrown around by people who don't know what it means or misconstrue it to fit whatever narrative best benefits them.
She's a bigoted idiot. Plain and simple.
