Some (not all!!!!!!) in the trans community have been threatening and even assaulting women, especially lesbians, for years.

It has created a wide rift in the lesbian community between those supporting trans rights and those who are considered radical feminists.

For example, whether trans women, even ones who still have penises and have not started any kind of hormones treatment, should be allowed into women-only spaces.

Trans-rights feminists say yes, but many lesbians and "radical feminists" say no -- that it is just another example of men breeching women's spaces.

This article in the New Yorker gives a little bit of an idea. In general tho, this is off the radar for most people.

The all-women's music festival in Michigan called MichFest is now ending after 40 years. The past few years have been very tough with trans activists setting up Camp Trans across from the festival to protest being excluded. Some have been engaged in violence and vandalism, such as spray painting "Real Womyn Have Cocks" on the side of the festival kitchen.

I know there are DCUM posters who will automatically defend whatever any trans person does, and accuse me of all kinds of bigotry, but there are probably a few curious minds out there who didn't know about all this.

That is interesting information but completely unrelated to the topic of this thread. In the case being discussed here, an obvious anti-trans person made rude and insulting comments directly to a transgender individual who responded with a warning of violence (note, not actual violence). Could you imagine if we had a thread here for every instance a LGTB person was threatened with violence by a straight person? Could you imagine if we had a thread for every case of actual violence? Maybe this story deserves attention because it is an example of man bites dog?

And again, All Shapiro was doing was discussing biology. If the trans individual is insulted by the truth and reacts with threats of violence, that's on the trans. There are many ways this conversation could have gone without threats.

Threatening physical violence is OK?

My eyes are finally opened! All trans gender people need to be rounded up and put in camps immediately. If one individual was an ass to a journalist, then of course it is perfectly logical to extrapolate that bad behavior across all trans people.

Thanks OP!

BTW, I blame Obama....

I'm OP. I'm enjoying this too. Part of why I posted this is to expose the very attitude being exposed here.

It is pretty clear that you have not watched the video.

Ben Shapiro and Breitbart don't possess enough credibility to warrant the benefit of the doubt. I don't need to watch the video. My thinking here is that even if it happened the way they say it happened, it's a damn shame the tranny didn't beat the crap out of Shapiro. He and the people who operate Breitbart have nothing of value to offer to society.

How kind of you.
This response pretty much sums up the attitude of way too many liberals.
Don’t bother checking out the story - disbelieve anything contrary to your feelings - and wish harm on others who do not believe the same as you.

I only consult credible sources.
This response doesn't sum up the attitude of way too many liberals. It's an attempt to communicate with you on your level. Someone would say I shouldn't stoop. I say, screw that. People like Ben Shapiro and people who think Breitbart is credible deserve to be expelled from this country.

The only hate was Shapiro's hatred for transgender people. He was very rude and insulting. Obviously, people shouldn't resort to violence, but frequently those who are provoked do so. Luckily, in this case things only escalated to a warning.

+ Probably two actors playing the parts like their ridiculous acted and edited Acorn video. Breitbart is for the double-digit IQ crowd only.

I'm guessing you don't work with special needs children or have a child with special needs.

Double-digit IQ isn't necessarily "special needs", Dear. The average IQ is 100 so 85 to 99 is well within the normal range of Conservatives/Republicans.

Please, honey, cite the research of your claim.
