  2. Almost anything mankind does collectively is toxic as fuck. Labor is no exception.
  5. What are you trying to prove that transgender people get murdered? This is just showing that men get enraged when you lie about being a woman and have sex with them.

    Manking relationship with labor quote need more to be talked about. I guess there is a lot of wisdom compressed in this one https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-362
  7. I'm post limited out 1991 – Sonia Rescalvo Zafra, a 45-year-old transgender woman, was killed in the Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona by six neo-Nazi skinheads who kicked her and her friend Dori repeatedly in the head while they were lying on the floor. Her death spurred the LGBT community to publicly fight against violence.[16][17] 1993 – Brandon Teena, a 21-year-old transgender man, was raped and murdered in Falls City, Nebraska, USA on 31 December.[18] Two men were convicted of first-degree murder in the incident, one of whom was sentenced to death. The crime became the subject of the Academy Award-winning film Boys Don't Cry.[18] 1995 – Chanelle Pickett, a 23-year-old transgender woman, was strangled in Boston, Massachusetts on 20 November after spending the night at a man's apartment. The defendant, William C. Palmer, originally pled what may be the earliest known legal use of the trans panic defense.[19][20][21] However, Palmer abandoned this story after the victim's sister revealed that he had known Pickett and been aware of her trans status.[22] Her death was cited as part of the impetus behind the establishment of Transgender Day of Remembrance.[23] 1996 – Also in Massachusetts, the body of Deborah "Debbie" Forte, a 56-year-old transgender woman, was discovered on 15 May, having been strangled, beaten severely, and stabbed repeatedly in the breasts and chest.[24] Her killer, Michael Thompson, was found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Thompson's coworker testified that after the murder, Thompson had come to work and confessed that he had gone home with Forte and begun "messing around", before killing her after realizing she had a penis.[25] 1998 – Rita Hester was stabbed to death in her apartment by an unknown assailant. Her murder would become one of the major factors in the establishment of the Transgender Day of Remembrance.[26]
  8. 2000 – Amanda Milan, a 25-year-old transgender woman, was walking by Times Square, Manhattan, New York City, when Dwayne McCuller walked up and began to harass and threaten her.[27] Milan stood up to him and asked him if he wanted to fight.[28] Witnesses said he declined.[27] As he walked away, another young man, Eugene Celestine, told McCuller he had a knife. McCuller grabbed it, and stabbed Milan in the neck.[28] A man named David Anderson reportedly helped McCuller escape from the scene.[27] Milan died soon after at St. Vincent's Hospital.[27] Transgender activist Sylvia Rivera worked towards seeing that Milan's death was investigated, and organized Milan's political funeral along with demonstrations claiming a disconnection of transgender rights from the larger LGBT communities.[29] After Milan's murder, Rivera reformed a transgender activist group, Street Trans Activist Revolutionaries (STAR).[30] Rivera cited the crime among the reasons to add a broad definition of gender to the New York City Human Rights Law.[31] 2001 – Fred Martinez Jr., a transgender 16-year old American from Cortez, Colorado was bludgeoned to death in June 2001 with a rock by an 18-year old man.[32] Martinez' killer was sentenced in 2002 to serve between 4 and 48 years for the murder, and was paroled in 2019.[33] 2002 – Gwen Araujo of Newark, California, a 17-year-old Hispanic transgender girl, was killed by four men, two of whom she had had sexual relations with, who beat and strangled her after discovering she was transgender.[34][35][36] Two defendants were convicted of second-degree murder,[37] but not convicted on the requested hate crime enhancements. The other two defendants pleaded guilty or no contest to voluntary manslaughter. In at least one of the trials, a trans panic defense – an extension of the gay panic defense – was employed.[37][38] 2003 – Nireah Johnson was a 17-year-old African American transgender girl who was murdered along with her friend Brandie Coleman in Indianapolis, Indiana by Paul Moore. Paul Moore was initially sexually attracted to Johnson, and then discovered that she was transgender. This led him to light her car on fire while she and Coleman were inside. Moore was sentenced to 120 years in prison for the murders while his half-brother, Clarence McGee, received a 10-year sentence as an accomplice.[39][unreliable source?] 2003 – Janice Roberts was an American transgender woman who was kidnapped by serial killer William Devin Howell on 18 June. Howell later told an informant that he tried to engage Roberts in a sexual act, and strangled her when he realized that she was transgender.[40] 2003 – Shelby Tracy Tom was a Canadian transgender woman working as a sex worker in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, who was killed by Jatin Patel on 27 May 2003.[41] According to Patel, while having sex with her, she noticed Tom's surgery scars, and she panicked as a result and strangled her. The prosecutor attempted to classify Tom's death as a hate crime, but Supreme Court of British Columbia Justice Patrick Dohm ruled that the crime was not motivated by hate, because Patel did not know of Tom's transgender identity when meeting her, and thus could not have targeted her for it.[42] Patel's defense attorney used a trans panic defense on her behalf. She pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter, and was sentenced to nine years in jail.[43] Patel subsequently came out as a transgender woman.[44] 2006 – Gisberta Salce Júnior, a Brazilian homeless transgender woman, was murdered in Porto, Portugal, by a group of 14 youths between 12 and 16 years old, who tortured and raped her for three days, and finally threw her, still alive, into a well over 15 meters deep, where she drowned. Eleven of the minors received minimal sentences of under 13 months in a semi-open education center of the Instituto de Reinserção Social, and two received sentences of additional education.[45][46] Her death became a symbol of violence against women and the LGBT community, and shortly after, laws protecting trans women were introduced in Portugal.[47] 2007 – Roberto González Onrubia, a transgender man, was killed by two women who had found refuge in his apartment, in Madrid, Spain. Both women had been mistreating Roberto physically and psychologically for a year, before they killed him on 29 August 2007 with a brutal hit on the head. Both women were condemned to 19 years in prison.[48][49][50] 2008 – Angie Zapata was a transgender woman who was murdered on 17 July 2008, in Greeley, Colorado. Her death was the first case involving a transgender victim to be ruled a hate crime.[51] Colorado is one of eleven states that protect transgender victims under hate crime laws in the United States. Allen Andrade, who learned eighteen-year-old Angie was transgender after meeting her and spending several days with her, beat her to death with a fire extinguisher. In his arrest affidavit, Andrade called Zapata "it",[52] and during his trial, a tape was played of a phone conversation in which he told his girlfriend "gay things need to die".[53] Andrade's attorneys used a trans panic defense. On 22 April 2009, Andrade was found guilty of first degree murder, hate crimes, and car/ID theft. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[54] 2009 -Vicky Hernández, a 25 or 26 year old Honduran transgender woman and activist, was murdered by the Honduran police. Her case prompted Honduras' president to apologize for the crime in 2022, the first case in which a Honduran president apologized for a crime against a member of the LGBT community there.[55][56]
  9. The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com Two Guilty of Murder in Death of a Transgender Teenager Sep 13, 2005 — The two -- Michael W. Magidson and Jose A. Merel, both 25 -- were found guilty of second-degree murder for the death of Gwen Araujo.
  10. The reason trump won is because of this gender identity push.
  11. @Elliott You still living in the 50s bro
  12. Support for trans is at an all time high. Trans people were seriously discriminated against in the recent past.
  13. The bird that flies alone is the wiener
  14. And answer;"People don't usually kill/hate people for being those other things, they do kill/hate trans people."
  15. This is actually having the opposite effect. No one is scared, they are tired of seeing it.
  16. @ElliottMy issue is thats its a 1 percent population thing thats in 40 percent of media. Here are somethings that gemini says effect 1 percent of population. Schizophrenia Vitiligo Synesthesia Panic Disorder Natural immunity to HIV Deaths caused by suicide People who have climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro Now imagine all of a sudden 40 percent of the media being pushed out had schizophrenics in it as characters. You would naturally question why the fuck are there so many schizophrenics in movie and tv shows when it only effects 1 percent of the population. Now they start putting love schizophrenics on childrens toys. Naturally an intelligent person would say why? Substitute schizophrenic with any of the other things that involves 1 percent of the population so you dont say Im being transphobic by comparing it to something deemed negative.
  17. I personally talked to a guy who, when he was young, went to see Muktananda. He said that when Muktananda touched him he had an awakening.
  18. They do that so more people begin to understand about trans. It's how all hate is conquered. In my country we used to keep black people from white people, gays had to hide it or they would be legally executed for it. People are scared of what they don't know.
  19. What issue do you have with "trans"? Do you support immigration, homeless people, capitalism, prison reform, allowing younger people to vote,.....?
  20. I don't know what that means. If I was trans I would hate being on every tv show. It just doesn't make sense.
  21. LOL what does that have to do with it, guess what, neither am I checking or adopting different pronouns or whatever. Because they are automatically either he/him or she/her. Based on the appearance. Practically speaking there are no problems whatsoever, I'm just questioning these.. um teachings. Issues might arise if I'm interacting with a trans and I know the individual is a trans tho, knowing me I would choose the path of least resistance and call the individual with the preffered pronoun, but I wouldn't really want to be associated with people like that to be honest. Due to all this nonsense
  22. @ElliottIm vote liberal. the problem is trans people make it seem like trans is a liberal argument when its not. There are many liberals that disagree with whats happening. Then you have people like yourself that push them to conservatism via banning their freedom of speech. Its 1 percent of the pop and shouldn't even need to be spoken about but its on childrens toys in childrens shows and on all their candy and soda they consume. The baby and child will automatically be brainwashed into wanting to be trans cause they love everything by default. You say the sincere ones will get treatment like the others that are being confused are not being sincere and are somehow being malicious when they are being 1 shotted by confusion.
  23. Today
  24. Forget even wearing a woman dress, entire universe dissolves.
  27. I agree, it’s impossible to know whether I truly understand what Maharshi was trying to communicate, but I would say yes , and I would also say that I see his limitations (I know this will sound intolerably presumptuous to you). Let’s see. Ramana’s essential principle is disidentification from the ego, the human self, achieved by obsessively asking oneself “Who am I?”. At a certain point, you can no longer find anything to hold onto, and you realize that you are pure being: without edges, without definition, formless, silent, absolute. Then you realize that form was illusory, and that what is real is Being. Sat-chit-ananda, advaita: what is, which shines by itself, recognizes itself, is conscious of itself, and is absolute bliss due to its limitlessness. Nothing new, right? The old enlightenment of the Buddha, Advaita, etc. But something is missing here. There is a limit. What does it mean to say that form is illusory? What does this division between false and real really imply? Form is the inevitable manifestation of Being. There is no form without Being , that is obvious. But there is also no Being without form , that is less obvious. Being always appears as form, without form, change, there is not existence. Form is as absolute as substance itself; it is inevitable, limitless, and total. Brahman, as the Advaitins would say. Ramana remains in the silent void, in the mere fact of being, without penetrating into the character of Being , into its dance, its incessant movement, its infinite relationships. Into Kali, the goddess who tramples Shiva in her dance of creation and destruction. Reality is Shiva + Kali, both are really one. There is not separation, and the difference of being open to it or not is total. If you are closed to Kali, you are limited. Maybe something is missing in my interpretation, of course. I talk just by the image that I have of Ramana due some readings and videos.
