[QUOTE="Frankenstein Underworld, post: 393930, member: 35"] While it's unfortunate that trans issues get most of the coverage, it's the woke and the ruling class that keeps pushing it to the forefront. Also, "picking out cases of extreme cruelty" is not unique to minorities. White people (particularly cisgender, straight white men) are routinely portrayed as violent, bigoted, and sexist. The "Karen" stereotype is often used to describe any middle-class white woman over 30. I can understand it to a degree. If you're on the receiving end of hate or violence at the hands of someone who fits a particular description, it can lead to prejudice against [B][I]anyone [/I][/B]who fits that description. I'm weary of some of the demands made allegedly in support of trans people, but I don't hate them as a group. I just think this is uncharted territory, and certain concerns (like seeing a "woman's" bulge) are valid. As for hate crime laws in general, I'm sure they can be weaponized. For example, two men fighting over money can possibly be spun as a hate crime if the victim is gay. [/QUOTE]
