I posted this quote last week about a man and his transgender girlfriend.

Hey everyone I was hoping for a bit of advice. I live in Scotland and honestly didn't think I'd have to worry about stuff like this until recently. On Friday my partner and I are going to a Pokemon TCG event. We've just found out the person organising it is a Trump supporter we've been avoiding since we found out the news. My partner is trans, and we can't be in the company of someone like that, because eventhough he doesn't know it he hates my partner. Do we message the venue and tell them about him? Or will this make things more difficult since we've pre registered? It's getting harder and harder to play the Pokemon TCG where we live because we're finding out a bunch of people are fascists.


There's been an update this week:

Well the local gaming shop with the trump supporter is full of shitty fascists and have been extremely rude to my partner and extremely patronising. They've done nothing to make the place safer and their customers are disgusting, threatening my parter with all sorts of things. And on top of that the review was deleted. If I could I would just bombard the place with shitty reviews to tank their reputation for protecting trump supporters. I'm just so angry, it's made her scared to go out and play Pokemon, let me fucking repeat, scared to play POKEMON because of all these skin head Nazis. Fuck Max XP gaming, fuck the people that go there and fuck Trump for giving them the confidence to ruin people's lives. Sorry for the post I've just never been this angry before and this seems like a good place to vent, because I found so many supportive people in my last post.

What policies of Boris Johnson make him comparable to Trump?

He was on American tv just last week trying to convince the current administration ending the deal with Iran was a bad move.

I mean you are talking about a population who voted to leave the EU based on entirely false premises (and because they didn't know their votes would count)...

Seems pretty petty to want someone banned from a children's game for their political views. I mean sure if they were saying racist shit or trying to indoctrinate kids, that'd be a bab, but if they are just sitting down to have fun playing the game what's the harm in that?

If this is real, the person seemed to be looking for a conflict from the start - and then bitched about it when they got it.

Who is to say this person and their partner didnt go there and start shit in order to play the victim after?

That is a classic move of the far-left.

People dont have to hate all trans, in order to hate an individual one for being an asshole...

Based on the original topic, it sounds like they decided to go despite having some trepidation about who was organizing it, and when they got there a bunch of people were rude and patronizing. I'm not sure that makes them fascists though

Strange how the usual people here believe the trans person and their partner are lying and clearly the ones at fault based off of, well, nothing but their own conjecture.

I don't get it.

The guy and his partner could just go there and identify as Pokemon players. No one needs to know the partner's life story, right? I'd just ignore the gym leader and play.

It sounds more like they were rude and got told off considering it's blatantly apparent they have a victim complex and were writing nasty reviews over politics.
