How about there is no "panic defense" for any crime? I really dislike the "hate crime" prosecutions. How about just prosecuting murder and other violence?

While I don't think that anyone should be let off for violent crime, the fact that many "trans identifying" people rely on deception, and indeed seek it as a goal, because that's what "passing" is... seems overlooked here as a negative.

There IS a greater truth in reality (sex: male and female), and many "trans identifying" people, especially males trying to pass themselves off as females, intentionally take risk that put themselves at risk of violence (see how often "going stealth" is mentioned in their Reddit posts, and elsewhere, which means not informing a sexual partner that they are not the sex they are mimicking).

Again, this IN NO WAY justifies violence, but consent was a matter of frequent discussion in the #MeToo era, it's troubling that here it seems cool to gloss over the fact that some people in a group deny others the right to consent (especially dangerous when men are the ones being deceived, because THEIR sexual orientation is being disregarded).

I agree with the other commenter here, there's nothing "wrong speak" here. It's cheering for the regime.
