When our grandparents were the haters, they could count on a degree of anonymity while they relentlessly pursued the subjugation of anyone different from them.

Today's haters are typically considerably more stupid. Here's a few of them.

Elon is killing mothers and children

NPR @npr.org · Apr 1

With the abrupt shutdown of USAID funding, many clinics, including those serving women in remote areas, have shuttered. Midwives are reporting that mothers and babies are dying as a result.

A midwife says of the aid cuts in Afghanistan: 'No one prioritizes women's lives.'

It's been a minute. Couple of homophobes from Kentucky. May they have the day they deserve.

Transphobe and Maine representative #LaurelLibby displaying the degree to which she is FashTrash by way of outing a trans child and publicly posting her photo on the most widely-used social media network in the world.

Libby remorselessly painted a target on a child's back and put her in danger.

A screenshot of a Facebook post from Representative Laurel Libby, fascist transphobe. She writes "Two years ago, John tied for 5th place in boys pole vault. Tonight, 'Katie' won 1st place in the girls' Maine State Class B Championship." She included and circled two photos of the child, deadnaming her as well as knowingly and willfully subjecting this child to historic levels of harassment and hate from Libby and people like Libby.

A screenshot of a Facebook post from Representative Laurel Libby. She quotes an uncited "news" article with an image that simply reads "- NEWS -" with the headline "Boy Wins Girls' Pole Vault Championship In Maine Days After State Pledged To Defy Trump Order." Libby writes: "'The decision by the Maine Principals' Association to continue allowing male athletes to compete against female athletes in school athletic competitions is outrageous,'Libby said. 'Not only does their decision violate President Trump's February 5 Executive Order but it jeopardizes the safety and privacy of female athletes, all while allowing male athletes to take medals, trophies, and podium spots away from women, effectively erasing them.'"

Libby then jeopardized the safety and privacy of an American trans child, because to Libby, trans children are not actually human beings and she is allowed and encouraged to hate them and sic her rabid constituency on them.

I commented on Laurel Libby's post, saying "You're a 43yo elected representative encouraging your base to dehumanize a child.

The hell is wrong with you?

I see you're against vaccines as well, so your hostility toward children isn't new, but it's still messed up. And you people, constantly attacking children and obsessing over their genitals, dare to call yourselves the 'party of family values.'

You're a gross coward. Have the day you deserve."

I commented on Laurel Libby's post, saying "Amazing. You manage to make yourself believe your placing a target on the back of a literal child is 'fighting for women.'

Get help."

Another Facebook user, Cameron Prophett, comments: "You are letting millions of people target a child for your own political agenda. How you aren't ashamed of yourself is absolutely beyond me. Have some humanity. That child is a human being. A CHILD. That you are targeting for your own personal gain. I hope that she is protected and that your hate doesn't hurt her in a way she can never heal from. You should be ashamed and I hope one day you understand the consequences of your actions."

This segregationist is called Jeff D. Doan.

Today he is experiencing a light breeze just by his ear as the hands of Jesus prevent him from catching the hands of Gale J. Watson.

Uploaded images of a worship service from a predominantly Black church. The photos were uploaded to a Facebook page called Mooresville Chatter by Gale J. Watson.

Segregationist Jeff D. Doan comments "Didn't realize we had that many colors here in town! Damn... time to move again!"

Gale J. Watson, out of a clear abundance of the love and restraint endowed to him after his people have suffered centuries of such abuse, replies "Jeff D. Doan love you my brother!!"

These ones aren't necessarily Nazis but they can rot in hell just the same.

A Facebook post by a page called "Qringey Videos." In the video, a man asks a trans man if men can menstruate and the trans man confirms that yes, men can menstruate, as he is a trans man who menstruates, and is therefore living proof that men can menstruate.

Transphobic misogynist Shawn Dulsky comments "You. Are. A. Woman."

Transphobic misogynist Bailey Rainer comments "Men can't menstruate"

Transphobic misogynist Adam Sears comments "A flat chested woman with short hair is not a man.. [eyeroll emoji]"

Transphobic misogynist Véronique Lynch posted a photo of someone else's words with no attribution. Both this act and her omission are acts of cowardice. The text that this particular coward could not muster herself reads "Saying, 'I identify as, 'is the same as saying, 'I pretend to be.'

Hater Rob Gone comments "If you menstruate. Then that's a clue that you aren't a man."

Transphobic misogynist Fred Colleman comments "Someone's daughter putting shame on his father [skull emoji]" . The implication here is that AFAB people owe their entire identity to their fathers.

Transphobic misogynist Lasse Mikkelsen comments "Mentally disturbed"

Hater, idiot, and irony fountain Mike Rinaldi comments "Ask them what organ they menstruate from" He managed to use the singular "they" correctly twice, but in reference to a trans man. He also displays a stunning ignorance with regard to how menstruation or being trans works.

Nazi roundup. Check alt text for details.

The Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project posts "The Hearts for History fundraiser is HAPPENING NOW at a dozen Milwaukee nightspots! Throughout February, dedicate your 'hearts' to your partner, family, or friends, a dearly departed loved one, or a historical figure who inspired you. Hearts are $1 (red) or $5 (gold). Additional tax-deductible donations are welcome. All proceeds benefit our mission to keep Wisconsin LGBTQ History and heritage alive. Questions? Contact Bill Wardlow or email wislgbtqhistory@gmail.com. #BeSeen [flag emojis]"

Christian Nationalist Nazi scum Tom Wright comments "There is a greater percentage of Christians in America than lgbtq"

Nazi Greg Day comments "Asylum or deportation / Your choice"

Racist Nazi scum Brandon L. Euvlide comments "I thought this was criminal history month [chin scratching emoji]"

Brandon seeks to delegitimize both Black History Month and the LGBTQ community, as his feeble mind is too inept to understand that the Struggle is the same and we will fight together as one and win. That we all know this and that he refuses to acknowledge this very basic reality is to our collective advantage and his detriment.

These Nazis have not yet been identified. They are dressed completely in black because even when emboldened, Nazis are simply a gaggle of pathetic cowards.

News station WCPO 9 reports: "BREAKING: Nearly a dozen people clad in all black are displaying swastika flags over I-75 near Evendale." There is an accompanying image of the overpass with the Nazis displaying the flags.

Even when emboldened, Nazis are merely a gaggle of cowards.

These haters are called Scott Lawson, Kae Auss, Reginald Kling, and Scott Raines.

Chattanooga-based news station WTVC reports: "UPDATE: Conservatives' nationwide offensive against transgender care, earlier focused on young people, is increasingly trying to cut off access for transgender adults -- including in Georgia." There is a photo of people in a room holding a Trans flag and a sign with the Trans flag, the text "Protect Trans Rights!," and a Pride-flag-patterned heart.

Hater Scott Lawson comments "Is anyone going to help pay for my upcoming neck surgery? Nope. They chose to change who God intended them to be. It's elective surgery. Pay for it yourself."

Trans people do not "change who God intended them to be." Many of us who believe in God *become* who God intended us to be. And for all of us who do not believe in God, this argument does not matter.

Hater Kae Auss comments "Unless it's psychiatric help, then it needs to stop. It's out of hand at this point."

Hater Reginald Kling comments "Fight for reality, truth, and morality." Reginald is transparently claiming it is immoral to be trans.

Hater Scott Raines comments "Did y'all miss the memo? There's only 2 genders now!" Scott is divorced from the truth that gender is a spectrum rather than a binary.
