Man, fuck that Toronto branch.

It's true that counted hate crimes have been increasing for the past two years. It's possible that the actual number of violence is increasing, sure, that would make sense, there's a lot going on in America ... or it could just be that 'violence' against transgenders is now being tallied more or differently, as some suggest. Kind of like how surveys say 1/3 women are raped while rape statistics say a fraction of a fraction of a percent.

This is definitely happening. I saw a news article talking about how two black women had assaulted a white woman, but then when you investigate, it turns out that the white "girl" was actually a dude trying to get into the women's bathroom.

Oh man, y'all. *facepalms.* That feminist who went to that protest a while back apparently went to a protest about gun violence, with about the same level murky, obscure goals. People sure like protesting things without providing solutions.

But fortunately someone put a comment on her post that made me smile. "An avalanche is formed from lots of individual Snowflakes."

...Just noticed the tags. Apparently "@EqualityEverywhere" has something to do with guns.

Its easy to come up with a solution. The difficulty is a solution that pisses less people off.
