    I’m all for trans rights, but as a non-American this is just…weird.

      It’s weird as an American, too.

        I guess the point is… it doesn’t matter so who cares. People used to think marrying outside your race was very very “weird”.

          I don’t think marrying outside your race is the same thing as carrying a gun around pointed at your crotch.

            Yeah, this is a wonderful way to accidentally escalate a situation via it falling out and scaring the shit out of everyone near you, shoot yourself in the femoral artery, or maybe you just enjoy it digging into your stomach and pelvis every time you sit down or lean over…

            There are trans people who know how to carry guns. Used to be friends with one, used to go to ranges myself.

            This is not how you carry a gun.

            There are holsters and belly bands for this kind of thing.

      I think the idea is basically:

      Transphobe: “Tell me what genitals you have immediately.”

      Trans person: “No.” *brandishes gun*

      Pretty much just an extreme version of “mind your own business”.

        With a splash of “that’s not a knife… THIS is a knife”

        There’s something inherently satisfying about the oppressed/harassed/accosted person who whips out a bigger stick and shuts that shit down.

          Civil rights activist in the 60s illegally carried handguns because they would be lynched by a mob if they didn’t.

      It’s like the author trying to make fun of anti-lgbt folks yet have them ask “which do you prefer” and also with the person having shitty concealed carry practice.

      It’s very much making fun of America of all side from what i can conclude.
