      It’s clear the sentiment on guns is never going to change in the US. I don’t live in an ideal gun-free utopia. I live in the US that exists now.

      When we were living in the high desert of california our friend would meet up at mcDs to let our kids play together. we were minding our own fucking business when a white stranger who asked our white friend if he was “okay”. As in was he ok with hanging out with us asians. This was before covid, only 70miles out of DTLA.

      We don’t live there anymore thank god. Many are not fortunate enough to move away from this kind of hostile environment. How in the fuck can you say that for them to get a gun to defend themselves is irrational and insane?

          This is not about getting shot or not this is about marginalized people defending themselves from a society that wants them dead. Plenty of trans folks fear for their lives without one bullet being shot so your logic fails.

          If they do want to arm themselves, who I am to tell them that’s irrational. I’m not trans. I don’t know what their life is like.
