[This is in reference to the murder of two lesbians and their child by a transwoman known as Dana Rivers.]

I'm seeing hate comments on some articles about this, but it's mostly "transgenders commit crimes at the same rate as men, therefore they're men" with a dash of "LGBTs eat their own, therefore LGBTs are bad". Nothing about transwomen hating on lesbians, or all lesbians being TERFs.
Well that bitch should be put where she belongs then, violent psychos are violent psychos, regardless of their gender identity and whether it matches or not. Not everyone engages in tribalism, in fact you`ll find most of the LGBT community does not, me included. The fuckhead cheering the murderer on should be at the very least investigated by the FBI.
A Xian shoots people, they're crazy and not representative of their peers.
Trans* does the same thing, and all prejudices are instantly validated.
*or liberal, gay, muslim, atheist, lesbian, peace worker, Disney parking lot attendant, college loan officer, democrat, CNN correspondent, marijuana distributor, illegal immigrant, great-great-great-grandson of an illegal immigrant, black...

What Keith said.
Homicides in the US 2016
Overview. In 2016, the estimated number of murders in the nation was 17,250. This was an 8.6 percent increase from the 2015 estimate, a 16.1 percent increase from the 2012 figure, and a 0.7 percent rise from the number in 2007. (See Tables 1 and 1A.)
OK. I guess we're all guilty then. There's someone in there for anybody's prejudices, confirmation bias and just downright nastiness. Cherry picking anyone?
No, Dana Rivers didn't murder them because she was trans, or because the adult victims were lesbians. There would be some other reason for it, which will no doubt be mentioned at her trial. Whatever her gender identity - do the crime, do the time.
As for stereotyping, you don't say that men who murder their wives are representative of all heterosexuals.
Feminists are concerned about male violence. Part of the conflict between trans rights and many feminists, especially surrounding self-id, is that these feminists are concerned that violent men could exploit this to harm women. Celebrating the murder of women is only going to harden their view and increase these feminists' concerns. You do the trans community no favours.
Were these particular women AND their child denying womanhood for transwomen?
WAS that the reason for the murder?
How is the murder of a child an accomplishment?
If terfs think that transwomen are not real women, how does acting like the stereotypical violent male help your cause?
@Swede
It does not but this utter bitch does not speak for the community. you can look at the percentages but honestly there are violent fuckheads everywhere and somehow they`re always the loudest. The perp herself was just another murdering psycho in need of an express incarceration.
As I said this should not be made into the community issue any more than the Texas church shooters supposed atheism should be.
WTF. Terfs are garbage people and whoever is trying to claim "trans activists threaten/kill lesbians" is definitely playing up terf anti-trans propaganda. They love to claim that trans people and trans activists are all violent and threaten terfs or women in general. Naturally transphobic people will latch onto this tragedy as a way to push their prejudices that trans people are just plain bad.
And whoever came up with that response is also obviously being a garbage person. Who says something like that about a triple homicide?? Jesus.
Confused?
