Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Open up a dictionary, and look up the word metaphor.
Current and new legslation, is resulting and will result in people dying.
And even outside that, yes, there absolutely have been murders where the motive was literally just "they were trans".
I don't even need to look it up to be 100% sure that has happened.
Additinally, having the world treat you, as if you are something you are not, is lethal. If you woke up tomorrow, and everyone around you insisted you were something you don't feel you are, eventually, you'd end yourself.
Maybe it would take years. Maybe you'll be able to tough it out and not take the easy way out, but even if you manage to outlast the misery and die of old age, you won't have gotten to really live, to experience the acceptance you and I take for granted on a daily basis.
"Playing along" isn't optional. It's to the human mind what water and food is to our bodies.
The post is basically implying a concerted effort in wiping out transexuals, but that's not the case
Also, being "pretty sure" doesn't fly in a court. You have to prove big accusations like that
You are gaslighting yourself into refusing reality.
You've received an avalanche of good faith arguments explaining where you're wrong, it would take a herculean effort of self-delusion to dismiss it all.
