The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Considering how much evidence and peer reviewed studies there are at this point that show video games don't cause shootings it's funny they keep dusting off this tired theory to see if it lands

When is government going to step up & start limiting numbers of SMT/SET in universities? Like gremlins they proliferate with their bloated salaries & pensions as they cut & bleed the people who actually make the organisation function. Absolute parasites.

This so much. Imagine how many more people would have died in Bondi today if not for the bravery of the guy tackling the gunman.
If any stereotypes at all are going to spread, they should at least include how often Muslims are responsible for selfless and inspiring acts of bravery.
Just last year, another Pakistani Muslim sacrificed his life to intervene on a mass stabbing in Bondi.
