Comment on The one drawback to walking at night
_lunar@lemmy.ml 11 hours agoStatistically, the number of transgender people who are going to rape your kids is fuckin’ none. The chances of you being murdered at night are slim but a lot less slim, enough so that everyone (but especially women as they’re often the targets of sexual violence) have to have to take it into consideration, and the ones doing it are almost entirely men. It becomes even less slim and downright common if you substitute murder with any other violence-based verb.

I know it’s hard for you to believe but transgender people are just people. They are capable of rape. There are countless rape cases you can find if you want to. But you don’t want to.

I didn’t say they’re not capable of rape, I’m saying it’s statistically extremely unlikely that they’re going to rape your kids, unlike the infinitely more likely chance of men engaging in sexual violence toward women. Posting a single example of one transgender person committing rape does not negate that.

Yeah can you explain hyperbolic language to me please. Does it have something to do with hypertension? I know what that is after talking to you. XD

Hyperbole is exaggeration used for emphasis. When I say “fuckin’ none” I don’t mean literally zero, I mean an amount so indescribably tiny that it’s negligible. I hope that clears things up for you.
