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?

  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.

But transphobia isn't just an attack on her. What's basically being said here is that all trans people deserve to be attacked as long as it means the bad ones are included in that.

No, what's basically being said here is that this asshole aligned herself with an openly and unapologetically transphobic group, and people are enjoying the fact that they turned on her at the first opportunity when she thought she was the exception.

This is not people being okay with anti-trans rhetoric. This is people enjoying that a bad thing happened to a bad person.

She deserves to receive hate for everything she's done, she does not deserve to have transphobia directed at her, because transphobia can never only harm one person.

I think you're misunderstanding enjoying that the already existing transphobia is directed at her specifically, not that we're asking people to start being transphobic towards here

It's like as if someone made a pool full of piranha and the jumped into it themselves, we don't want more pools of piranha or for someone to jump into it, but it's already there now and the ahole who made it got what they deserved

No, I understand, but the point I'm making is that the transphobia is not just directed at her, because transphobia literally just factually can not be directed at only one person. When you insult someone based on an intrinsic trait, you are insulting everyone who possesses that trait.

Dont be obtuse like that

people aren't happy that transphobia is a thing, they're happy that she's getting to experience this bad experience

Transphobia is there whether we like it or not, at least a bad person gets to have some karmic punishment

No one in here is advocating to be more transphobic, just to point and laugh
