casey is remote> saying that the people exist is already admitting that it's not just an ideology. It's like claiming left-handedness is an ideology because you can force left-handed people to pretend to be right-handed with violence.
I'm trying not to laugh at how bad this logic is...to be consistent, conservatism isn't an ideology, because the people exist. Right? ?
Here is where I suspect the most productive portion of this discussion may lie: where in this article is it demonstrated that right wing personalities in the #USA are driving the deaths of trans people? I don't even see much here that indicates the heteronormative ideologies are even a driving factor behind these deaths, I'm not seeing any statistics here that points to any proportional motives.
The closest it gets is when it posits this:
> The report notes that the numbers indicate a worrying trend when it comes to the intersections of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and hate towards sex workers.
Presumably supported by this:
> It found that most victims were Black and migrant trans women of colour and trans sex workers.
As well as this:
> Over half (58%) of those murdered were sex workers, and four in ten were European migrants (43%).
Which is certainly strong circumstantial indication that these trans individuals were killed for being sex workers, but there aren't enough statistics here that back this up, nor verified motives.
