Plainly put some of you saw a trans girl doing something bad and ran with it. This has never been about "accountability", or "helping victims". This is a hate mob. They have transformed the story into a narrative of unrepentant rapist (actual words actual people have used again and again). This isn't just factually wrong, it's also deeply transmisogynystic, invoking the spectre of the "dangerous rapist tranny" to attack someone.
This is plain transmisogyny. I expect better from the rest of you than to accept that.
Do we have a right to know? Does harm need to be not simply public, but actively publicised for years, even after it has been adressed? Is this then a campaign that we should support? Is this information an account without moral weight, or is part of an ongoing pattern? Do we, really, have a right to know? To be spreading this, years after it has been adressed?
Do we have a reason to act? Has the crime been too horrid, has sarah been too dangerous, too unrepentant, that she must be removed from all communities, lest she be a danger to those around her? Is this how you see her, then? A danger? Is this judgment fair, unbiased, or is it a hate mob?
Should she be removed from her job? Is this something we have the right to do, remove a girl from her only source of income, her only way to live? Is she dangerous enough that she must not work anymore? Is sarah so much a "danger", for her "unrepentant" "crimes" that she must die?
Are the hate messages in my inbox, calling me a rape apologist, a disgusting man, or a pedophile, sent by people rightfully upset? Are they simply trying to apply anti-carceral justice, and upset that i would not accept to remove myself from her, to make her yet more isolated? Are they right, or is this a hate mob?
What terrible crime is worth the punishment that seems reserved only for transgender women? Why indeed is it only trans women that are punished? Do we see cis people, broken down, torn up, like this? Trans men, to anywhere near the same fequency?
Are trans women just that more dangerous than non trans women? Is this just "actually not a hate mob this time it's real", for the thousandth time?
Or is this a transmisogynist hate mob?
