Sacramento Radio Hosts Encourage Violence Against Transgender Children

 

I almost threw up when I read this.

 

I just... I think of the posts I made yesterday and I just want to laugh. Just laugh incredibly bitterly.

The hateorade in that post is just sad. :(

I... am so filled with disgust and rage right now I really don't have a coherent response to this.

Expect a diatribe tomorrow morning about these fucking imbeciles.

That's sickening, absolutely sickening. It never fails to boggle me how fucking ignorant and hateful some people can be.

So, I'm glad California's decided to be such a winner. We're going to be the only liberal state, and then the only state PERIOD, advocating hate crimes. And against children, to boot. Because Sacramento is just that fabulous.

Sigh. It's a long, long road. What's described in that post is unspeakably disgusting. You don't have to be transgender. You don't have to advocate it, support it, even be comfortable with the idea of it. But to hate it so fully, so vehemently, and act so childishly derogatorily to the concept, the people? Is disgusting.

That is truly disgusting.

Actually this is ironic, because I've spent most of the day looking for fanart and raw episodes of Simoun. I'd like to show that series to these fucktards and watch their brains explode.

The article is saddening, but what's most sickening is the amount of people defending what those DJs said in the comments below. Apparently they claimed they were joking, and anyone who doesn't listen to the show regularly wouldn't understand and have taken what they've said out of context.

Context or no, "joking" about parents beating a confused, defenseless child for something they didn't ask for and can't help is just as awful as being serious.

what in the name of god is wrong here

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

A CHILD.

A FUCKING CHILD.

A child is not 'people'. A child is EVERYTHING our biology and culture and evolution tells us it is our duty to protect. That is who you are attacking. A CHILD.

I just have no words.

I generally have a pretty specific view of evil. I try to look at something from someone else's perspective before casting any kind of judgement. Understand where I come from when I say this:

States is fucking evil. He's a closed-minded, hate-mongering bigot. Those are the best words I can think of for describing how angry I'm feeling right now.

Anybody who knows ANYTHING about parenting would be disgusted by this.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Anyone who qualifies as worth the oxygen they suck in their lungs each minutes is disgusted by this.

[qualapec.livejournal.com]

Well said.

I just read it again. I feel like crying it makes me so mad. It's just so HARD to wrap my mind around the idea that he's preaching violence to CHILDREN. I mean, WHO DOES THAT?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Them.

They do.

I just... I have no words.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. Thank god I didn't read the comments.

Hate speech? It's not funny and it's not a joke and frankly, I hope someone presses charges.

I saw this on kalliel's LJ, too. You know, I'm not even sure what to say besides I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS FUCKING WRONG WITH PEOPLE; I do not understand why people's harmless adult sexual choices -- and in the case of children, their self-expression in terms of clothing/etc. is threatening for other people. The most benign possible excuse (which this isn't) is that the kids will have it hard later in life, and their parents are concerned, and don't want it to be hard. However, I wish parents would understand that being harsh with a child in such a predicament just makes it harder.

And this isn't even that kind of a thing; this, to me, just smacks of pure out ridiculous bigoted "pride" that, oh, my son won't be no sissy dress-wearer. Whatthefuck. Ugh. Ugh.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It's about being threatened and personal ego and just... epic fail.............

[despairinbeauty.livejournal.com]

o____O...damn...what the hell is wrong with these imbecilic morons, anyways? Oh, I forgot...they are morons, so I shouldn't expect them to not hate people who are homosexual/transgender/bisexual anyways. DDDDDDX

[goldengrimoire.livejournal.com]

God, this is seriously fucked up. Being bigoted assholes about transgender adults is bad enough, but going after little kids? That's just disgusting.

[syl-luvs-silver.livejournal.com]

Ah, fuck. This just breaks my heart. It's one thing to hate transgenders; it's another to attack children, and make your hatred verbal. On national radio. People who do so give up their humanity.

[rainbrat.livejournal.com]

That is just disgusting. I feel sorry for their childhood, if they were raised to believe such crap.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I haven't gotten to a space that zen yet.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

It utterly is.
