According to KXAN in Austin, this “die-in” took place overnight at the Texas State Capitol on March 28 … which would be after the mass shooting of six people, including three children, at a private Christian school in Nashville. Apparently, they were protesting a bill that would ban minors from receiving medical treatment to change their gender.
“After the hearing, protesters gathered for a brief rally and ‘die-in’. They used their bodies to symbolize how many transgender lives could be lost if the bill were to become law, according to Ash Hall, policy and advocacy strategist for LGBTQ+ rights, ACLU Texas,” reports Daniel Gravois.
A trans die-in after a trans person killed six people including three children is the height of absurdity. Maybe if trans people really wanted to stop trans people from dying, they should encourage more access to suicide hotlines. pic.twitter.com/HklrVDuK41

Fun facts:
– There are approximately 1.6 million people in the United States that consider themselves transgender
– 32 transgender people were murdered in 2022
– That means that the trans community is murdered at .002%, one of the lowest in the country

pretending to be something they’re not is incredibly on-brand here https://t.co/N76WIJRifu

I really want to say this in the nicest way possible:
If a church staged a "die in" after a Christian killed a bunch of people at a gay bar, that would be interpreted as a mockery of the victims
That is what is happening here https://t.co/NdvyKGxhJh

Trans activists: You are play-acting as the children who were just murdered in real-life.
It's not funny, it's not cute. It is absolutely psychopathic.
Stop playing pretend victim, go home, and re-evaluate your life and how you became such an awful person.

"Oh, I didn't even think about that interpretation"
then you should think harder about stuff instead of going along with what everyone in your peer group is doing

The entitlement of this community and their sycophants is off the charts.

I want more of this. Give them the microphone and let them implode under the weight of their narcissism

There's a paper called "Shame and Narcissistic Rage in Autogynephilic Transsexualism" by Anne Lawrence that hasn't been obliterated from all public spaces just yet. Published 15 years ago but it explains all of this.

This is the kind of thing you do if you want me to be hostile to your movement. Beyond the absurdity that trans people are being targeted and killed based on feelz and being “misgendered”

Now do you get why decency is no longer an option?

This is disgusting

It really is. There are three dead 9-year-olds because of a transgender person. The threat of “death” doesn’t apply to you whether the legislation passes or not.
