Where did I ever say they shouldn’t defend themselves? Understanding what will happen next doesn’t equate with advocating they stand down and let themselves die.

Literally everyone that ain’t a fascist should arm themselves and use those arms when their safety is in peril. Especially marginalized people. And if a fucking lynch mob is after anyone they should mow them down.

But that’s not gonna happen in a vacuum and there will at least be an attempt to utilize that as a catalyst for even more violence upon trans people. Please tell me what you think the reaction by the right will be when something like that inevitably occurs?
