I can’t really stress how much the cops are a big part of it. They already keep telling him they’re not his personal attack dogs and there are ways to file claims that don’t involve calling 911. He just keeps doing it and acting like he knows the law and therefore the cops have to do what he says.
He says once he has his last surgery he’ll be “normal” and no one will be able to tell. Which like, he passes just fine. And I don’t blame him for trying to find a way out of people treating him like shit for things he can’t control. It’s also just some major internalized transphobia to be like, “eww I’m not trans”.
We need an emoji of that guy going “Israel #1! No politic!”
My brother is trans but is in complete denial about it and keeps threatening to call the cops on people who refer to him as trans. Like, he’s been on T for over a decade and has had top surgery. He’s working on bottom surgery now. I don’t know how to get it through his head that the cops are not on his side here. Sharing random Snapchat screenshots of people misgendering him and him threatening to sue them. No pig is gonna give a shit about that aside from the annoyance they’ll feel at being involved in the first place.
It works on occasion for certain issues if people do it en masse. Just not a path to systemic change
“I have some news for you” is a facetious way that people sometimes imply someone might be trans. But the joke is that the “news” is a literal news story. Maybe with the added twist that it’s a subject that’s nerdy in a way that fits with stereotypes of trans people. Not sure about the last part though.
Surprisingly engaging narrative for a clicker
According to the news release, Soliman yelled, “Free Palestine” during the attack.
Bet they criminalize this phrase soon
I hadn’t thought of it like that. As long as he doesn’t get shot I suppose that’s a silver lining
