Yup!

But since it's lemmy they are probably all Russian and Chinese's agitators, or even bots.

But they are definitely pro republican.

    Ah yes. We have to be bots or agitators. It couldn't possibly be that we don't want to see trans people attacked. πŸ™„

    Hey! Trans is an adjective, like tall or smart. You can (and should) just say "trans people" like "tall people" or "smart people". Attaching the adjective to the noun, like trans-people or transpeople, implies it is a new thing distinct from the original noun. Have a nice day!

    I've edited my comment, but I don't think I understand what you mean by this? How is something like "tall-person" different than "tall person" ?

    When its an adjective with no propaganda and vitriol being spewed about it, its murkier. But when you say "trans-(wo)man" or "black-(wo)man" or something like that, even though it is grammatically acceptable I believe, you risk the implication that the object you describe is a distinct, other object from a "normal" (wo)man.

    Edit: also, thank you for editing your original comment - not many are as open to feedback

    If the AntiHitler Party becomes the BlueHitler Party to win against the RedHitler Party, then the people have no choice but to vote for Hitler. A 2 party system is defunct.

    So you’re okay with ICE going around shooting people and running them down with SUVs
