funny how we can defend property through a system of laws and enforcement but that’s not specific enough to stop hate crimes

Wow, it is almost like a place where juries let people off on the gay panic defense is a place that is unsafe to be as a trans person.

Some other countries (and just a couple US states) explicitly ban the gay panic defense.

Are other countries juries exposed to our media ecosystem (in the same way) which the US government supports and which pushes vile transphobia constantly?
