I'm all for trans rights, but as a non-American this is just...weird.
I think the idea is basically:
Transphobe: "Tell me what genitals you have immediately."
Trans person: "No." *brandishes gun*
Pretty much just an extreme version of "mind your own business".
With a splash of “that’s not a knife.. THIS is a knife”
There’s something inherently satisfying about the oppressed/harassed/accosted person who whips out a bigger stick and shuts that shit down.
Civil rights activist in the 60s illegally carried handguns because they would be lynched by a mob if they didn't.
