Thank you for sharing voices from my trans siblings. I have felt so..overwhelmed since this all started and was already feeling isolated from my local community. This made everything so, so much worse. Please share trans, queer, and POC voices now more than ever. There are surely an immense amount of people like me who need to hear these voices right now.
It so sad that these kids have to go through this, I was taught never to assume, ask questions first, get facts, why does it seem like those on campus, along with media, along with churches and far right lost their damn marbles!! Excuse my French but how did they become ignorant over night? Straight to no legitimate investigation process and not protecting these kids from further retaliation based on their affiliation with a lgbtq or trans club on campus. I mean the first night they blamed it on a liberal, which was not true, I cannot connect the pattern whatsoever to blame this on the trans community, the statistics do not ADD up to previous shootings over time with the amount of shootings to say in the least👀 the only numbers I’ve seen is white males with access to guns and some paper trail of hate doing the crimes
This was a powerful discussion. I wish, however, that the full range of C. K.'s bigotry particularly his anti-Black racism, anti-Muslim white nationalism, and deep misogyny had at least been mentioned. I can say as a Black cis lesbian that although the current regime has focused on targeting the trans community in the most vicious ways, there are other groups that are affected by the weaponizing of Kirk's murder.
This was such an excellent discussion. Thank you to all of you for your insight, love for your community and your yearning for better solutions to make the world a better place. These are the words and voices needed on college campuses!
After the days you all have experienced, that you would take the time to share your insights and experiences with us is amazing. I am so grateful and will continue to stand against hatred wherever it rears its ugly head.
What a wonderful group of people, kind, empathetic, intelligent, and thoughtful.
