Women and LGBTQ+ people take up guns after Trump’s win: ‘We need to protect ourselves’

[Kurmugeon]

The time limit for best human species, not individual, adaption to a rapid changing world is what number of years?

To procreate and raise that child to a reproductive age, is what? 35 years? Maybe 40 on the outside? 30 years on the near side, in primitive societies. And most of our genome comes for the eras of living in caves.

What is the average number of years for a cancer death?

Cancer is very good at making people die, at just the correct age, to clear the way for the next generation of natural selected genes.

You're not going to easily cure cancer, any more than you're going to easily cure human sexual behavior aberration!

It is built into our very genetics, for a species survival and adaptation reason!

It is not exact, in the age in which either strikes, because biological controls are not precise in age about anything. It is always a statistical distribution, with the average or statistical mean age of effective population limiting onset, set to what the species needs to survive.

And the individual's survival be damned in it all.

"gay" is homosexual.

Homosexuality is a sexual orientation, which defines who or what arouses you.

Gender dysphoria is not a sexual orientation. The only overlap is in the fact that normal sexual attraction is defined by gender.

Duh. Look who passed Sex Ed 101.

Good to see you agree sexual attraction is defined by gender.

Do you agree that, although 91 to 96% of humans are sexually attracted to the opposite sex that all Americans have the same rights at all levels of government? Do you agree that the 4 to 9% in between are on a sliding scale of sexuality and personalities with varying forms of sexual desire? Do they deserve the same rights as you and I? The same protections from local, state and the federal governments as all other Americans?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Can't agree with that, there was not enough time with high population, i.e. civilization for such a thing to evolve.

Besides there are much simpler ways, a simple reduction in sex drive would do.

Also it's not like natural selection doesn't have a crueler tool, in-species competition is nearly universal and humans are clearly not exempt. We claim territory and then we kill anyone who doesn't respect it.

If there is a crises within the group we purge or splinter.

Our tribes have never been bigger than a thousand until very very recently (12,000 years ago if current archeology is telling the whole story).



A natural function that is simultaneously a mental illness? Seems like a contradiction in terms.

Your theory that it is based on overpopulation would predict that lightly populated areas would see a significantly lower rate of sexual deviance, but that has been been observed by any study I am aware of.

Furthermore controlling for cultural factors would be nearly impossible. For example if rural areas tended to be conservative and religious while urban universities were basically putting sexual deviance on a pedestal that would skew the results to make it appear as if your theory is correct.



What exactly do you mean by "mania" and how much of it is (in your opinion) biologically driven?

Human sexuality is buried as deep in our genetic structure as the first ancestral critters which were divided into male and female. Usually it's female and the males, like bee drones, are modifications of the basic female structure. Your nipples are proof.

As such, like anything human such as blue eyes (8-10% of the pop.), left-handedness (10%) and male pattern baldness (44% US and Western Europe pop.) has variations on a small scale. Why does the 8% of the population who aren't completely or wholly straight like the other 92% bother some people on this forum?

Agreed on the Fire and Brimstone rural social conditioning and how that conflicts with people who believe "Mind your own fucking business!"

Sounds like by "freaks" you mean people with gender dysphoria, and that you are angry the democrats are encouraging factors that will lead to these "freaks" being harmed.

Sounds like you're a sicko, and just can't say they're frigging mentally ill freaks. 'Gender Dysphoria' is a silly made up word used to throw in some pseudo-science by you cultists.

What is the average number of years for a cancer death?

According to NCI data, the median age of cancer diagnosis is 67, while the median age of death is 73.

Cancer is very good at making people die, at just the correct age, to clear the way for the next generation of natural selected genes.

Genes don't need the way cleared. Humans are nearly unique in the way we take care of the elderly, every other species doesn't let the elderly slow them down. When they can't feed themselves and keep up they die.

Human culture and knowledge is our primary survival adaptation. A family group with a wise 60 year old elder is more likely to survive than one without that elder. That is why we live so unusually long for a mammal.

The only other mammals who live as long as we do share this trait of culture and leadership by elders.

It would be even better if we had more experienced elders, but you can't push biology too far. You're wrong on the basic forces of natural selection here. If the young could not outcompete the elders then clearly their genes are not superior to the elders so there would be no benefit in "clearing" out the elders.

Old animals die because of systematic decay which natural selection can fight but not overcome. It is not planned death, it is inevitable death.

We would see exceptions if this was not the case. One weird mammal in one strange environment that lived to be 300. It doesn't exist. Accounting for metabolism human evolution clearly favored longevity as much as possible.

Sounds like you're a sicko, and just can't say they're frigging mentally ill freaks. 'Gender Dysphoria' is a silly made up word used to throw in some pseudo-science by you cultists.

Did it ever occur to you that in a list of "mental illnesses" that "frigging mentally ill freak" might not be a useful descriptor?

You're making a parody of yourself, and it's giving me a good laugh. Maybe I'll write a skit.

Well anyway, speaking for myself (as always), I don't hate anybody for having a mental illness and I don't hate anyone for having surgery or taking hormones (even though I may think it's a bad idea). I do not conflate any such person with those pushing for absurdities like hebephile porn in libraries, men being forced into women's sports, or mutilation of minors.

The two groups overlap, but they are not identical.

In that opinion I believe I am part of a vast majority of the general US population and of the 77 million who voted for Trump. I realize there is a fringe minority of haters who may have think they have won some kind of victory with this recent election, but they haven't. They're still a fringe minority and if they tried to give voice to their hate in any gathering of the big-tent alliance that elected Donald Trump they would find that out quickly.

They don't because they know they're not the winners.

 

[EdwinA]

lol sniveling about 'haters' is a left wing gimp phrase. Clue 1: Pointing out sexual fetishists and people into extreme sexual mutilations are mentally ill freaks, period, and no amount of silly fake 'science' and pretending otherwise will ever change that fact, and neither will the fake 'normalizing' their sick behavior make them happy and well. it isn't a 'fringe minority' who realize that either, that's just you pretending to be something you ain't.

The word Ghoul comes to mind.

 

[Bigdog]

And remember it was Trump that said take their guns away we will deal with the due process thing later.

You think Trump is anti 2A. Is that why you voted for Trump???

 

[Tbird19482]

You think Trump is anti 2A. Is that why you voted for Trump???

I would NOT vote for him if he was the only person on the ballot for dog warden,
YOU MAGA got what you wanted so now you own what ever comes along what ever it is good or bad.
As I have said before I hope to hell that it works out but I am not sure it will.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Nice rant, Edwina. Your anger is so wacky that it looks like compensation.

Do you have unnatural desires for the same sex? Are you into cross-dressing? Do you wear women's panties, Edwina? I betcha do.

 

[TOP]

So,..they are Gun NUTTERS then. Good to know.

Maroon gun nutters...

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Sounds like you're a sicko, and just can't say they're frigging mentally ill freaks. 'Gender Dysphoria' is a silly made up word used to throw in some pseudo-science by you cultists.

So do you call ppl afflicted with clinical depression severe enough to require treatment "mentally ill freaks"? What about those with bipolar disorder, OCD, schizaphrenia? Are they also "mentally ill freaks"?

YOU are the reason why there is such a stigma and such discrimination against those with various mental struggles, you and your judgmental hateful ilk.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Oh look, another intelligent, well-reasoned response from Minty, lover of the n-word.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Stone is a closeted non-straight cisgender male who was given money and status by his father. He is worthless, lazy, bigoted, and generally stupid. But that's just my opinion.

You left out "frequently drunk when posting," "misogynist," "racist," and "full of himself."

@EdwinA seems to have his own issues. Jus' sayin'.

Agreed about stigmas, but the mentally ill or mentally deficit are very good at making good decisions.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

That is unfortunate timing, but one guy's comment isn't really a conversation. It directly contradicts Lionfish and although insulting was not strictly dehumanizing.

This forum is rife with similar characterizations of trans people. In addition, calling someone who doesn't agree with you here a "tranny" is quite popular on the Reichwing on JPP. I'm a mother of five and g-mother of 11 and have often been called a "tranny" because to ppl like that, apparently it's the worst thing you can be.

Women and LGBTQ+ people take up guns after Trump’s win: ‘We need to protect ourselves’

National gun clubs field an influx of newcomers interested in learning how to shoot firearms for self-defense

www.theguardian.com

The misogyny and anti-trans rhetoric that were hallmarks of the 2024 election campaign have seemingly ramped up since Donald Trump’s win, prompting some women, queer and trans people to respond by buying guns – and learning how to defend themselves from potential attackers.

The Guardian spoke to various Americans from marginalized groups taking firearms classes, arming themselves with stun guns and pepper spray and taking their friends shooting in an effort to protect themselves from bigots they fear will be emboldened by the president-elect’s return to power. A few left-leaning gun clubs say their numbers are increasing dramatically.


“I am thinking about carrying every day,” said Ashley Parten, 38, a Douglasville, Georgia, resident who purchased stun guns for herself, her daughter and three nieces after the election. Parten, who is Black and bisexual, is also eyeing a maroon handgun that she plans on buying after taking a firearms class.

“We all feel the need to make sure that we’re aware of our surroundings and protect ourselves in general, but even more so now,” she said.

Earlier this week, the Republican House speaker, Mike Johnson, in effect targeted Sarah McBride, the first openly trans person elected to Congress, by stating single-sex bathrooms in the Capitol “are reserved for individuals of that biological sex”. Trump, whose campaign released a firehose of anti-trans attack ads, has promised to ban gender-affirming care for minors and “keep men out of women’s sports”.

The president-elect and several of his cabinet picks are also facing sexual misconduct allegations; he and his allies have bragged about the overturning of Roe v Wade and denigrated childfree women.

“Our identities are politicized every single day,” said Parten.

Dumbass bitches
