Moving to Winnipeg would just make it worse.

I got blackout drunk when I was working in Lethbridge, and slept with your mother. It messed me up.

I am still in therapy.

I think you're past the point where therapy can help you; you know what to do.

(btw my mom's been dead for years, dickless).

I assume it's a court mandated thing.

If I was a Lethbridge  resident, i would definitely tip off the Lethbridge Police about your internet history.  You have so much bottled up anger, that it would be wise if the RCMP (or CSIS) kept tabs on you, to prevent a shooting rampage.

Anyway, I don't have any bottled up anger, I vent it online at degenerate freaks like you.

Thank you.

I consider it an obligation to distract you online. Otherwise, you could end up assaulting your neighbour, the mailman, girl guides, etc.

I am performing a community service than is beneficial to the good citizens of Lethbridge.

Oh I see: you're spiralling out again. Time to re-up those meds and remember: you're not supposed to mix them with alcohol.

That's our Blackie!

I'll give you another example. I see people saying awful things about trans people, many of this forum, and unlike your histrionics about a Jewish holocaust in 2024, trans folks actually DO get murdered all the time.

That's a myth.  Murders of trans people in Canada are extremely rare. The last one I can find is the murder of Julie Berman in December 2019. (and Berman wasn't killed by raging TERFs or MAGAheads. It was intimate partner violence, not hate fomented by reckless speech, that killed Berman.)  A trans person was murdered in the UK in 2023, but there hadn't been murders of trans people in the UK for several years prior.  In the US, there are usually 30 to 40 murders of trans people every year, which is actually a lower rate than the general populace (and most trans people murdered in the US are sex workers, who are at a high risk of violence for the same reasons that cisgender sex workers are at a high risk of violence.) 

The idea that trans people are being murdered all the time is not supported by any evidence at all. It's one of those things that people repeat all  the time because they've heard other people saying it so they assume it must be true. But it isn't.   Like the mass graves at residential schools hysteria of a couple of years ago, many people are inclined to take it at face value because it agrees with their prior assumptions. And like the mass graves thing, people are afraid to question it publicly because questioning it publicly could get you branded as a Bad Person.

I still think the aholes who say things about them have a right to say what they want. How about you?

But I'm with you here. I think there's actually a strong parallel between the silencing of pro-Palestinian voices and the silencing of gender-critical voices.  Not all criticism of Israel is antisemitic, and people who advocate for women-only spaces aren't all transphobes.  But accusations of transphobia and antisemitism are a really handy stick with which to beat people who advocate for Palestinians or women's rights.
