I'm victim blaming in the sense that if you go into some high crime neighborhood shouting, "oh, look at much money I have" you're most likely going to get robbed. If you go to some shady party in a shady neighborhood with a bunch of people you don't know and intake some kind of substance to the point of passing out, the likelihood of being raped is high. That does not excuse the actions of the criminals, but it's obviously a big "I told you so." If trans people know there are people who react violently yet still hide their status and they are attacked, it does not excuse the attacker, but would have been easily avoidable. What's not avoidable is some guy running up and attacking them because they are trans.

So you're a victim blamer. Got it. Thank you. That clears things up.

Good to know you can't read. If that's all you can say to that paragraph, good luck to you.

Oh there's more.

Because this is what you and others in this topic are doing.

You create scenarios. Little fantasies. Stories, even.

With all these added details like "a bad neighborhood" or "taking drugs" or "they're lying and being deceptive" so you can downplay the victim.

People do it all the time when they're victim blaming. "He was a troubled kid." "Why was she wearing that?" "They were ASKING for it."

All so that you can find justification. Justification for putting everything on them. Putting everything on a trans person to make sure they keep from getting attacked, beaten, murdered.

And who are you trying to find justification for? That guy in the OP who popped that woman out of nowhere?

No of course not. Not you. You hate violence. You'd never condone violence.

Then for who? For who would you create all these cockamamie scenarios to justify putting all the responsibility on the trans person?

Your train of logic rolled off the tracks, did a barrel roll, and landed on a cruise liner.

It's very easy: people should avoid circumstances in which chance of harm is greatly increased. If you have knowledge of something, avoid it. It doesn't make the crime any less severe. It shouldn't lessen the punishment for the crime. The crime is all on the criminal, but to say a person has no fault if they could have avoided it entirely with a normal action is dumb.
