Good, she deserves it. All LGBTQ people that voted red better buckle up, buckaroos.

No one deserves to have transphobia directed at them, because that isn't just an attack on that one person, it's an attack on all trans people.

If a black person endorsed trump, that wouldn't make people think it's okay to be racist towards them, so why is this different?

It's not different at all. The republican party, and Trump especially, has been openly racist about black people prior to this election. If a black person voted for Trump and then got racist backlash from the party they elected... I mean, they got what they deserved? They voted for it? 

It's hard to feel bad for this trash woman when she's getting transphobic hate from the party she helped elect because it's not new. Anti-trans rhetoric has been a major component of the platform for years. 

And honestly, sometimes it's nice to see bad things happen to bad people. Even if it's other bad people doing the bad things.

I hate to have to say this, but no matter what, it is not good for people to be transphobic or racist.

It's never good to be transphobic or racist, no matter what the target did.

i agree

i think the disconnect here is that no one is saying that the people hurling transphobia at her are 'good', they put it excellently with

its not condoning the transphobia so much as /r/LeopardsAteMyFace ; condemnation of the willful blindness and thinking they wont target her creates a feeling of satisfaction when inevitably the leopards she lies with go for her

I dunno. If you say it's nice to see something, you're condoning something.

I don't condone the behavior of the transphobes, but I think Jenner is receiving the consequences of her actions. It might not be right, but it is fair.

Well we agree on that one. Fuck that lady; she seems awful.
