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

[ADreamOfLiberty]

No. I'm saying that repressed heterosexuality causes one to find other outlets to satisfy the urges. It just happens that priests prey on young boys because they are easily taken advantage of.

That is absurd.

Nobody is holding a gun to their head keeping them in the priesthood. They can renounce and go to find a prostitute in 24 hours if they wanted to.

It is only discipline that keeps them away from women. Not a single one believes that god will get angry at them for staying away from women but is totally fine with boys.

The ones who abuse kids are pedophiles and always were. They don't go after women because they want young boys and the priesthood gives them access.

That's also why pedophiles pursue teaching, scouting, coaching.

It is virtually impossible for a teacher to molest a young child compared to priests who have God on their side. When does a teacher get the victim alone on a regular basis?

There isn't an official "unsupervised alone time" between priests and young boys either. Pedophiles create a relationship first so that they can arrange access.

The jobs give them a legitimate reason to meet a lot of kids and talk to them.

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.

I am happy for them. But I would like to know what protected them before Trump. If they train and play by the rules, I think they'll save a lot of money on ammo though. Nobody really gives a crap about them.

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.

And you think your bizarre pandering and 'normalization' of their illnesses are 'expressing love n stuff', right? lol you're part of their freak show yourselves.

 

[EdwinA]

Wake up:

Says the confused stoners who like to groom kiddies and sexually mutilate 6 year olds. Yeah, you're a 'credible' advocate ... to the other asylum inmates.

 

[EdwinA]

he ones who abuse kids are pedophiles and always were. They don't go after women because they want young boys and the priesthood gives them access.

They're homosexuals; just say it. They make up around 2% of the population, and commit over 40% of the kiddie rapes. And, from the last major FBI undercover operations against NAMBLA, many of them will also rape little girls when they're having a 'dry spell' re access to little boys.

Buddy, I think you're a bit confused. That's the 47th president in the photo. He's about to run the asylum.

Make your peace with the big tent or get ready to start losing again because nothing lasts forever. The democrats will regroup after they figure out how to ignore the crazies. They will come at it from another angle like parties always have.

If they switch from warmongering neofascism and Keynesian nonsense to peace and economic liberty then they will have a real chance at being the bigger tent and you will guarantee your loss by driving away the "freaks" as the left has just done.

They're homosexuals; just say it.

They're homosexuals, and if you call them freaks and there aren't more important issues you will lose.

This victory does not belong to you alone.

They make up around 2% of the population

and they have lots of friends and family

and commit over 40% of the kiddie rapes.

Every one should be prevented, but that's not all that many kiddie rapes. You're talking about a tiny minority of homosexuals and even if it wasn't tiny people are not responsible for the crimes of others just because they share some trait.

 

[EdwinA]

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.

Being a sicko loon, you really aren't in any position to deny your own projections here. Your own reverse psychology gimmick makes you look like a moron outing yourself. lol

Yes, you probably actually think that's some clever stuff; hanging around other dumbasses and getting a lot of 'positive feedback' from other gimps tends to make halfwits even duller. That 'bluturd' site is a safe space for you pedophile apologists. Are you a 'bluebird' yet? You will do well there, not much intelligent life to get in the way there.

I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

Only experience debating online, which if you do it for a decade gives you a pretty wide domain of detailed insight.

Well I was a catholic and an altar boy for a time.

Yes, you're not very bright and can only parrot what you're told to.

LOL. 'Insight'.

I knew you were hurt as a child. I just knew it.

 

[Kurmugeon]

Who exactly are these Women and LGBTQ+ going to be shooting at?

Anyone who "Looks" like they might have voted for Trump... just because... stuff?

This is why emotionally driven people should not be trusted with firearms.

I don't think you know as much as you think.

Really goy? Oct 7 Th, a goyim's telling a Jew about the 7th? talk about no self awareness and ignorance of violence against Jews ,the last one culminating last Oct ,upon centuries and centuries of inquisitions, crusades , pogroms and the Shoah, terrorism

love how the christers shed crocodile tears for Jews

Philosemitism: A term referring to the exaggerated or grandiose “love” displayed by Christian conservatives toward Jews, which often involves the adoption of certain Jewish practices, Despite profuse statements of support for Jews and Israel, Christian Zionist philosemitism coexists with conspiratorial antisemitism and with a stated end-times goal to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, after which Jews must convert to Christianity or be slaughtered.

now maybe your buddy and "good xtian' libhater will call me kike and jew boy as he had

Muslim extremist kill and rape a bunch of isrelis and you're talking about the crusades?

Kinda making my point for me.

Your buddies at the DNC sympathize with Hamas far more than Trump sympathizes with neonazis, doesn't seem to stop you from kissing ass. Hamas has killed way more jews than neonazis in the past forty years.

Somehow despite not knowing hebrew I did learn to COUNT.

rofl, a little paranoid aren't you? Here is another one, I think you'll find it a bit more common:

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free: What they mean by "free" is free of jews, and they intend to kill them if they don't flee. It's in their charter.

The new world order is trying to arrest the PM of Israel for defending the country, pals of the establishment and their puppet university students here in the USA, but you don't care about that because you know where the real threat comes from: Those terrifying protestants with an embarrassing crush on Israel. Yes sir they're secretly nazis so you better arm up because they're just about to go full nazi.

now maybe your buddy and "good xtian' libhater will call me kike and jew boy as he had

Oh no did he hurt your feelings? Doesn't he know that you have an exclusive license to namecall?
