For context, I am referring to the fact that the “Licc’em Low Lisa” track picks on the officer’s (quite deep) voice, which leads to the suggestions she harbors a massive D, and the call for “someone to verify her vagina”, in a related Tweet. The suggestion that she is a lesbian is also used as an insult in both places.

I enjoyed the whole thing as much as the next person. But calling to verify genitals in this climate of gender policing is (at least) a grey zone, even given the context. And given the “implied transness”, then showing women running away scared from her, again, is not great in the current climate. (I mean the relentless narratives denigrating trans women as a threat to cis women and girls.)

Unless Ohio is the kind of place where the mere suggestion that a female LE officer working with children is trans is so hilarious, that the suggestion is unintentionally wholesome. But I can’t know that, since I’m not from there.

    even widespread abuse that can influence thousands, is nothing compared to the physical attack and complete disregard of how terrifying it is for your home to be invaded by an aggressive group of self-righteous strangers

    These two things are on the same side of the scale really (systemic oppression).

    Dude’s black and living in the USA, so the chance he gets murdered in his own home despite being innocent is also incredibly high.

    The same is true for trans women. Very high chance of getting murdered especially when black.

    a far worse crime than continuing to promote a harmful rhetoric about women who look more masc than the socially defined

    We talk about very well defined anti-trans genocidal tropes here, WTF are you babbling about, watering it down like this?
