Ah yes, that bastion of the union, the shining light of human rights, spreading love, peace, prosperity, and enlightenment to all.
Not sure what your point is
South Carolina is in the south. Where racism, religious fervor, and conservative bullshit is rampant.
The victim in the article is probably lucky all that happened is his wrist and finger were bruised.
He’s resisting money to relocate, which is prudent I think.
Feels a little victim-blamey to basically say "what did he expect, living there". Trans people are everywhere, by definition. He deserves better than this.
He does deserve better. Plenty of people in oppressive societies do. I was noting the environment, anything else was what people choose to read into it.
There's also a lot of resistance and genuine care and love in the south (even historically), not everybody there is a bigot or just puts up with said bigotry.
that is what I was getting at -- this can all be the case in place with no such law on the books. It's not necessarily worse in the UK.
