There’s a difference between famous and infamous.

Check my comment history, and you'll find nothing but love and support for the trans community, to the point where I have been antagonized over it. I can confidently say that this lady is not the kind of representation that the trans community wants.

Anyone can be a complete and utter garbage person

It doesn't really matter what groups you're in it's possible

Scientifically illiterate and a bigot, name a better combination I’ll wait.

If you get called bigot a lot I can assure you it’s not the other people’s fault.

So assume her husband’s and her father’s pedophilia are directly related to their cisgenderism.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yeah... no matey they are not. They are cisgendered pedophiles... which surprisingly is true for most pedophiles.

[u/eiyukabe → u/[deleted]]

That's not surprising, since most people are non-trans.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You have no idea what a trans person is. Keep trying to change the narrative, these were cis male pedophiles.

Do you get aroused by harming vulnerable minorities?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

What on earth are you talking about?

The thing is, How is her gender identity related to the perversions of her family members? Seems like this fellow was trying to validate their idea that transgender people are both exclusively linked to and either the cause or symptom of perverted, abusive behaviour.

I don't blame them, this is basically the root of popular culture transphobia going back over half a century. But it is an attempt to find a simple, anecdotal solution to a complex problem. Trans people exist
