I’m happy to talk as long as you do - I just think you’ve run out of ways to pretend you don’t understand the issue, so you’ve now just posting nonsense to try to save face.

Because you think gun-fondling is more important than trans lives ;)

Because you want to continue to harm trans people… ;)

Keep telling yourself that… ;)

It’s difficult to keep pretending you don’t understand the issue, isn’t it? ;)

And yet you are still talking… lol

Because you can no longer effectively pretend not to understand the facts.

And yet I have not avoided saying transfolk. I have told you I have great concern for trans people’s welbeing. I am the one who does not want to see more of them die to gun violence - unlike you.

Because you are committed to pretending not to understand the facts.

Yes, in fact I do. The rate at which minority groups are at risk of violence is higher than non minority groups - sure - but: Guns make them less safe - they are more likely to die in the attempt to defend themselves, and dramatically more likely to die to their own hand and to intimate partners - which is why the household risk is relevant. Even though they are at greater risk of victimization, owning guns still makes them less safe, not more. Why are you pretending not to understand this?

No, I have no problem talking about trans folk. I have great concern for the welfare of trans people - that is why I think it is irresponsible to suggest they should buy guns - that would harm them - something I don’t want.

Look you can try to cherry pick - but the problem is that all the data points in the same direction - gun ownership, living in households with guns. etc all makes someone less safe. https://everytownresearch.org/report/disarming-fear-debunking-myths-of-defensive-gun-use/

Why? The problem here is that while trans folk are at elevated risk of violence, they are also massively more at risk of harm both at their own hands and by intimate partners. Advising trans folk to own a gun harms them. Their risk of being killed goes up the same as anyone else.

Well done. It wasn’t that hard, was it?

Again with the vague and obtuse. Instead of answering the question you ramble more. I am not in the market for trying to guess what you are talking about. Either say it or don’t, but if you won’t then there is literally no point talking to you is there?

You know perfectly well that simply living in a house with a gun doubles your chance of dying to homicide. I don’t need to find the data for you - a simple google search will find them. You well understand the issue - I don’t know why you are pretending not to.

I have literally no idea - you are vague and all over the place. Perhaps if you just said what you mean instead of making obtuse and vague ramblings it would be easier to follow. Who have you been talking about?

And yet you are very very obtuse - what are you actually trying to say??
