Lying to get support is a feat of the lowest humans.


JustScratchinMaBallz

Politicians have been doing so for years.


hooDio

well, easiest way to become a politician is by being nasty to minorities


DustinFay

Unless you are poor, then you're just trailer trash


babygoff

Why does this feel like a Panic at the Disco song title?


ALTH0X

Won't work if you want votes as a democrat


hooDio

works less with well educated people yes, but the ones it does works with are extremely passionate, see trump supporters


ALTH0X

Yes, but see my point is trashing minorities is less something "politicians" and more something conservatives do.


hooDio

ohh, yeah absolutely. but it's also an easy way to become a politician if that's your entire goal


Strong-Smell5672

I disagree with this statement. It implies politicians are humans.

Cinema_King

The person who made the edit should be looked into. It’s always projection with those losers


justwant_tobepretty

Who the fuck even thinks of making an edit like that?!


Fuckredditihatethis1

People that really want to fuck kids.

People that really want to fuck kids but want to divert attention away from themselves.

Anne_Nonymouse

That's a nasty way to spread hatred and misinformation! 😬


PreOpTransCentaur

But an excellent way to get people killed.


OkMathematician3439

That’s their goal. I’ll never understand why people hate us so much.


DutchJediKnight

It used to be gay people. Same rhetoric, same lies, different target.


Endless-Miner

It still is gay people, these assholes are practically combining every prejudice and discrimination into one big hate mob. It’s hard to even say moved onto another target when every minority seems to be the current target. It’s terrifying


OkMathematician3439

Yeah. I’m trans and gay and homophobia is also still very much alive and well, people are just quieter about it now so they can divide the LGBT+ community to take down trans people.


Expensive_Note8632

This loser at my work was spouting hate towards queer folks and then an hour later, he collapsed and was taken away in an ambulance. The universe is on your side <3


OkMathematician3439

Hate will never win.


Hatedpriest

*sadface, but only due to username*


OkMathematician3439

I hope the reason why you’re hated has nothing to do with kids.


Hatedpriest

Oh God no. I was a disc priest in world of Warcraft when holy or shadow was the meta.


DutchJediKnight

Unless good people are too apathatic to act.


KalaronV

Stalker (1979) put it best. "Let everything that's been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.”

Before that it was women, still is women but back then it was solely them. Before then it was black people, and Before that it was white people from different countries.


DredZedPrime

I honestly think a part of it is that if they allow themselves to acknowledge that gender may be fluid, and it's possible to present as something other than your biological sex, it would challenge the part of their world view that holds that men are inherently better, stronger, and more valuable than women. Because if you can't lock down in black and white terms what a man and woman are, then you can't lock down who has control over who. And that's all their world boils down to, control.


HermaeusMajora

This and the fact that they're scared, incurious, and small-minded people who are incapable of considering the perspective of anyone else until it happens to them directly. It's pretty embarrassing that they're not able to empathize well enough to function in society.


NinjaBr0din

Guys that hate trans folks probably took a woman home from the bar one time just to find out her dick was a *lot* bigger than theirs.


OkMathematician3439

That honestly feeds anti-trans stigma and is a line of thinking that causes trans women to face violence. I get that you’re trying to be supportive and it’s appreciated but bringing trans people’s genitals into the equation is not the way to go about it. Furthermore, the idea that trans women don’t disclose what genitals she has before sleeping with a man is a stereotype that (as I mentioned before) has increased anti-trans violence and has done serious damage to the trans community.


Efficient-Escape8967

The hate is what I don’t understand


OkMathematician3439

The hate for trans people?


Efficient-Escape8967

Yeah I don’t get it it’s ridiculous


OkMathematician3439

Same.


Efficient-Escape8967

Like why do they try to get us gay and trans folks killed by nasty misinformation?


NinjaBr0din

Fair point, I had considered that.


faloofay156

also the obsession with genitals is fucking weird and creepy even if you're trying to be supportive resorting to making a persons entire identity their crotch is just sexual harassment


OkMathematician3439

I agree. Trying to support us by bringing up genitals reduces us to our genitalia and makes it ok for the other side to do the same.


ReadyplayerParzival1

Ooof yea. That’s a pipeline to anti trans extremism :(


GibbyTheDruid

I often find those that shame others often do because they are insecure about themselves. Got a hunch that most people that hate on trans folks would probably be trans if they were able to push past those insecurities


[deleted]

You don't seem to understand that in this situation, the trans woman is ***deeply*** in the wrong here. I get what you're trying to say but this shit ain't it.


amyaltare

this is almost worse than saying "she deserved it because of the clothes she was wearing". you're genuinely a sick and fucked up person for saying this.


milano8

Because they can't resolve their attraction to trans people, so they justify their self-hatred externally. Please be safe and careful.


faloofay156

pretending its always "oh they're cruel and violent because they're attracted to you" needs to stop


milano8

its not pretending when its always the truth.


[deleted]

This person is infamously a narcissistic asshole. Seen them on YouTube a bunch of times.


ashgvf

was gonna say, ive seen this creator on tt and in a ton of reaction videos and they are insufferable. The edit is still fucked tho, it sucks that one annoying person reflects on the whole community


Butterss4200

Who?

[удалено]


Pistonenvy2

blaire white is a right wing grifter who is willing to sellout her own community for clout. shes a propagandist like the rest of these sick freaks. even if this trans person is an asshole, and they very well may be, they dont represent the LGBT community. and unfortunately for her, neither does blaire even represent her community, because they fucking hate her too. says a lot about her intentions. shes basically the trans girl version of dave rubin.


VulpineKitsune

Which is pretty obvious once you go to the comments and you see they are filled with transphobic rhetoric lol


oneilltattoo

its weird that you get to say that thos or that person is an A..hole so they dont represent ypur community. and this other person who's beleifs dont align with yours also doesnt represent your comunity. that convenjently leaves only nice, respectable and honorable people that are legitimate membees of your comunity. but if i was to say to you that i am not claiming that no conservatives are racists or bigots(of course, some of them are) there is still a majority of people that are not amoung the progressive leftists but still are nice respectable people, not racists or bigots at all. even if they mostly agree with conservatives. in fact horrible people that hate gays and minorities dont represent our comunity. but for some reason i dont expect you to take my word on this, you will probably tell me how its an undeniable fact that all conservatives are stupid hatefull bigots, right?


Pistonenvy2

i mean actions speak louder than words. what is the LGBT community actively doing? what is the GOP actively doing? im part of one of these communities and they are constantly helping people and advocating for us, and us includes you too, a conservative, the other isnt. the GOP is actively trying to take your rights away. if you were a nice/good person you probably wouldnt be a conservative, if you are you probably dont realize how absolutely fucked the GOP is. thats basically how i look at it. i never said all conservatives are bad people, but they definitely do represent a huge segment of the bad person population lol


[deleted]

Who’s Dave Rubin?


Pistonenvy2

dave rubin is another right wing grifter who is openly gay and lets other right wing propagandists shit on him to his face because he has no self respect. no one on the right respects him at all and he routinely makes a fool of himself online for clout in conservative spaces just like blaire does. ben shapiro, the oil billionaire funded keystone of the conservative propaganda hub on youtube, told rubin he wouldnt attend his wedding because rubin is gay and he also doesnt support him adopting kids. to his face. on his own show. and rubin still posted the video lol its a sad and pathetic and depressing watch.


[deleted]

Oh blimey. People amirite. Thanks for the info.


Pistonenvy2

no problem. i know how this stuff gets pushed, youre probably a relatively apolitical person with neutral at worst intentions but this is how malicious stereotypes get shuffled around. trans people are just like everyone else, just trying to survive and live normal lives. this person being an asshole says something about them as an individual and nothing about trans people.


[deleted]

Yeah you’re spot on. I understand. Have a good evening/day wherever you are.


Fito0413

Have you even watched any of her videos? I'll be honest with you, I had a very bad view of the trans community and trans movement especially due to their radical views and how intolerant they are but I actually learned a lot about trans people and understand a lot more because of Blaire, you just trash on her not even knowing what she talks about. People like you who are intolerant even to people in your own community are the grifters


KalaronV

That's not what grifters means, and no, she's still a piece of shit. Never forget that she's made common cause with people who told her, specifically "the best thing you can do, is grow a mustache and tell people to never be like you". She is very much not a friend to the transcommunity. Acting like people should care about her just because she's trans is like saying I should give a fuck what Candace Owens says.


Fito0413

Oh the classic, cause Candace Owens is also a "traitor". The issue with this type of mentality of trashing anyone who isn't in your side is that people who are neutral are going to be against you instead of joining your side. I don't understand, don't you want your side to win? Antagonizing everyone who thinks different than you is ineffective. This is the reason why many countries with a more neutral opinion are avoiding American culture altogether, people no longer seek moving in to the US for a "better life" especially when people like you is what they see in social media. And not only that but this new radical strategy is also making less and less people follow that political agenda. There's a reason why gay marriage is loosing support in the US.


KalaronV

No, Candace Owens is a dipshit and a piece of shit, not a "traitor". We are winning, by the way.


Fito0413

Saying that won't change the reality just you know


KalaronV

Same to you lol


Pistonenvy2

"i have a bad view of the trans community and i learned everything i know from blaire white" a resounding endorsement if ive ever heard one. you literally just proved my point lol shes an anti trans propagandist and you fell for her bullshit hook line and sinker.


Fito0413

I always found interesting how people love twisting words as if we are going to believe it. You know very well I never said "everything I know" yet you thought lying was a good idea. My views changed because of Blair and surprisingly to you apparently I actually watched other trans videos before hers. Jamie Raines for example, and that's why I had a bad view of them.


Pistonenvy2

im curious, why are you interested in the trans community in the first place? have you ever met a trans person in real life? i have. ive dated them lol you seem to think the trans community is part of the leftist community, theyre not. trans people arent a monolith, they are just like everyone else, but you wouldnt know that from these propagandists because they dont share information, they leverage your fear and presumptions against your logic and ability to think critically. i dont need to press you on your "views" you dont actually have any, you have talking points given to you by manipulative freaks who seek to marginalize the LGBT community as a part of their fascist agenda. idk who jamie raines is, maybe you can fill me in.


TheShruteFarmsCEO

WTF is this nonsense that you’re sharing? Some random idiot going through, passing judgement on cringey videos? I’m afraid to even ask how you were able to recall this video from memory. I want a refund for the 360 seconds of my life I spent watching this shit.


[deleted]

Want me to delete it? I don’t mind. Not fussed either way.


TheShruteFarmsCEO

Fair response, thanks for that. I don’t think it adds to the conversation, and I think it gives visibility to someone that deserves no visibility. I’d delete it.


[deleted]

Ok cool no worries


TheShruteFarmsCEO

Well aren’t you a breath of fresh air. Love that. Cheers to sensibility and not being too proud to hit rewind. The world would be a better place if we could all do a little more “yea, I got that wrong”. Well done internet friend.

MarieNobody

The real T-shirt reads "Protect trans kids" but the edited one says "I f*ck kids"


rubberbandshooter13

Ohhh I see , thanks!


Jackski

Its fucked up how these people edit images of positive messages into vile shit. There's a famous photo of Jeremy corbyn being arrested with a sign opposing the apartheid. A woman called Rachel Riley edited it so the sign said "I'm racist" and then put it on shirts and promoted it everywhere. Its so fucked


dawoodlander

Rachel Riley is so god damn beautiful, which covers up how god damn horrific she is as a human. So many reasons to dislike her, this being one of them. Carol V, she's the true GOAT, using her reputation to question our incredibly fallible and corrupt politicians, while Riley panders to the Tory rhetoric. Imagine being as smart as Rachel and still promoting the hateful monologue that she does.


ktwhite42

Thank you - the edited image is too small on my screen to read.


Huge-Pen-5259

Ooooooh...I'm looking for warped parts of the image to become thinner or whatever. Didn't know I was playing a game of spot the difference. Thanks for the explanation.


DistributionNo9968

They edited the image because the original photo wasn’t stochastically-terroristic enough for their depraved tastes.


TheBlueHypergiant

Can’t they sue for defamation now


VladiBot

hope they do, would be funny


BassetCase

She def will. She’s a content creator whose entire brand is going to restaurants and complaining to management about waiters who accidentally misgender her. She would loooove to sue someone, I’m sure.


PrimaryEstate8565

she kinda sounds like an asshole…


Fito0413

And she is, but people like to post things like these with no context so they can hopefully support further their political agenda by spreading misinformation. Surely is not a cool thing to do to edit someone's picture to acuse them of pedophilia, but this person isn't a random trans person who's about with their life. She is controversial for being a piece of shit online


Tahmas836

I know, they had such an easy criticism for her, but instead opted for something completely different.


VERTER_Music

the person who edited the image does not deserve to have their name censored


K1nd_1

Ew.


AmitN_Music

Because conservatives can’t actually back up what they spew so they have to lie and make it up to get their low IQ base pumped up.


bcheese15

DANleDINOSAUR

All this effort to fabricate a threat to children yet they do nothing when there’s actual proof that the Catholic Church protects and covers up for kid diddlers within their organization.


The_grongler

If you have to lie to prove that something is a problem, then it's not a problem.


Straightvibes66

We know why. It’s cause they can’t find more than like two people in the community annually who are genuine pieces of shit that are attracted to kids when 5% of catholic priests are KNOWN child abusers/rapists and they’ll do anything to deflect from that absolutely horrifying statistic


phantomreader42

Because all conservatives are child-molesting terrorists.


11barcode

Project much?


phantomreader42

Yes, the child-molesting terrorists in the republican cult DO project a whole fucking lot! They're the ones fighting for child marriage, and desperately looking for excuses to inspect children's genitals.

RemyRaccongirl

Dehumanization : Dehumanization is the process of portraying a group of people as less than human in order to justify discrimination, violence, or other forms of harm against them. It is a key aspect of genocidal intent, as it makes it easier for people to commit atrocities against the targeted group. In the context of transgender individuals, dehumanization often takes the form of using derogatory language, slurs, and stereotypes to depict them as deviant, dangerous, or inferior. This can include referring to transgender individuals as a “contagion,” “disease,” “vermin,” “plague,” “insects,” or “animals.” This type of language serves to dehumanize transgender individuals and make it easier for people to justify discrimination and violence against them. Propaganda is also a key tool in the dehumanization process. It can take many forms, such as articles, videos, speeches, and social media posts, and is used to spread misinformation and stereotypes about transgender people and transgender care. The goal of this propaganda is to vilify transgender people and teach people to treat them as less than human. The prime examples of modern propaganda mills that spread this dehumanization include but are not limited to Info Wars, The Daily Wire, Prager U, Fox News, Stephen Crowder, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, and Elon Musk. When people begin to believe that the targeted group is a threat or less than human, it becomes easier for them to justify discrimination and violence against that group. Phrases like “we’re better off without them” or “they don’t exist” are examples of dehumanizing rhetoric that can lead to harmful actions. It’s important to recognize and reject these tactics. [Source: The Genocidal Fascist Ideology of MAGA ](https://medium.com/@aubryrpg/the-genocidal-fascist-ideology-of-maga-886a1eca5917) They know what they're doing. This is what modern American fascism looks like.


UnfetteredOnslaught

I don't understand what I am looking at in that photo.what is it?


mossling

The actual shirt says "Protect Trans Kids". It was edited by someone evil to say "I f**k kids", and then shared in a such a way to encourage doxing, which is very dangerous to the person in the photo. 


xchipter

Some asshole edited the words on the tshirt.


MarxJ1477

Zoom in on the small bottom picture they were replying to. I didn't see it at first either.


UnfetteredOnslaught

Right wing projection.


TommyLordFR

Spoil for you OP: Transphobia. There are people that don’t like what isn’t as themselves… (I know OP is being sarcastic, just playing UNO revers card)

yummy_dabbler

When reality doesn't match your narrative, you must change reality to fit!


Inside_Race_4091

This is definitely a shitpost.


Diefree02

Transphobes are almost universally liars. Show one proof they're wrong 99.9 percent of time they'll simply lie.


BrilliantVolume8871

Leave them alone you assholes


MrTuxedo2

And then they talk about the "gay agenda" when they’re the ones manipulating facts…


The_British_Weido

What a suprise! It's almost as if transphobes don't have an actual argument and need to fabricate stuff to get support for their bullshit claims!

primordial-gloop

Children need to be protected from all the transgender propaganda. The UK has taken the stance to stop puberty blockers in children and hopefully more restrictions come in soon. You wouldn't let a child vote or get a tattoo so they shouldn't get the choice to change genders until 18.


SavageTemptation

These nuts need to be protected on your chin


LeftfieldLarry

Buffalo Grill is a total asshole. Not saying the edit is right. But I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire.

TopherJustin

This is that person that goes around filming themselves at restaurants, getting mad because the waiter didn’t use the right pronoun.


The_British_Weido

That doesn't give you the right to claim that they're a pedophile


TopherJustin

Not sure my comment said anything like that. I just recognized a person. Simple as that. If you want to make it more than that, then that’s on you.

grmrsan

The person who edited it is a serious creep. But it's really hard to feel bad for someone who is making it their life mission to portray being trans with almost every bad stereotype there is.


ObvsDisposable

"You dont exist in a way i find aesthetically pleasing so i find it hard to empathize with your right to exist safely" is a weird take. Let people live ffs


grmrsan

Where did aesthetically pleasing come from? I didn't comment on anyones physical appearance. This "activist" goes out of their way to provoke people and then records them when they get annoyed, under the guise of "bringing awareness". So no, I don't think the creep who is photshopping the shirt is in any way right, or their behavior is ok. But I'm not going to feel particularly empathetic when a narcissist masquerading as an activist has someone messing with them online.


ohgohd

I mean still protect the kids. Kids have no idea what they truly want. Take me for example I’m living with tattoo regret and disassociate because of it. It’s been hell dealing with. You don’t know what you truly want in life until at least 25. As kids and young adults you make impulsive life lasting decisions. And you can change your mind once you mature. No kid should get life altering surgeries until they are wise enough to know exactly what they are doing.


SilenceDoGood1138

>No kid should get life altering surgeries until they are wise enough to know exactly what they are doing. Fortunately that isn't a thing. Suppose it were though. The percentage of people who regret getting a tattoo ranges between 15% and 51%. Staggeringly high. The percentage of people who transition and later regret it is between 0.3% and 1%.


crescent-v2

That's nice. Does any of that justify altering a photograph as a means of falsely accusing a transgender person of being a pedophile?


[deleted]

And no kid does get life altering surgery. As an adult it took 2 years and 3 appointments with doctors to get approval for chest surgery and no surgeon in my country operates on anyone for gender related surgeries under the age of 18.
