Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling

The “sides” are the LGBT community and those that hate them.

This is wrong. The person who took Northumbria Police to court was a lesbian and hence a member of the LGBT community. It doesn’t make sense for the “sides” to include the LGBT community.

You’re conflating the gender supporting (as oppose to gender critical) community and the LGBT community.

I don’t understand why this is downvoted so much. This is the correct response.

It’s something that my psychiatrist wouldn’t say to my face, therefore it should be downvoted.

You’ll never guess what the ‘T’ in LGBT stands for…

This person is absolutely standing against the LGBT community. She is actively seeking to drive a wedge between LGBT communities and the police, making the entire community less safe in the process, as well as trying to divide people in regards to LGBT issues.

She will happily cut off her nose to spite her face, if it means harming trans people.

And being part of a community doesn’t make you immune from being against the community. There’s plenty of anti-immigration immigrants, there’s homophobic/transphobic/biphobic people in the LGBT community, there were people from colonies who saw their own colonies as barbaric and welcomed white masters, there were Jews in Germany who hated Jews and happily supported Nazis, there are working class people who are disdainful of working class culture.

  I don’t see how you can come to that conclusion given the article. You seem to be jumping to conclusions.
  
  as well as trying to divide people in regards to LGBT issues
  
  Again, I don’t see how you can come to that conclusion about her goals. The fact that she simply has a different opinion to others doesn’t imply a goal of dividing people. Dividing people may be a conseqeunce of her actions but that doesn’t imply it’s her goal.
  
  She will happily cut off her nose to spite her face, if it means harming trans people.
  
  Again, this is jumping to conclusions.
  
  And being part of a community doesn’t make you immune from being against the community. … there’s homophobic/transphobic/biphobic people in the LGBT community
  
  True but that doesn’t mean any particular person who is critical of one section of the community is necessarily against the whole community, that doesn’t follow.
  
  there were Jews in Germany who hated Jews and happily supported Nazis
  
  Firstly wow that took no time at all en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law
  
  Secondly, this is a false equivalence. Every example you’ve given is of a member of a community being against the whole community but in the case we’re discussing, a member of a community is critical of only part of the community, not the whole community.

    Hate to burst your bubble but Lesbians are actually more supportive of transgender people than any other cisgender demographic.

    I too can make up pretend facts.

    It stands for Lesbian. What is your point?
    
    I’m not the one going against the LGBT community, she is.
    
    I don’t see how you can come to that conclusion given the article.
    
    Did you read it?
    
    Again, I don’t see how you can come to that conclusion about her goals.
    
    ??? She doesn’t think Trans people, a part of the LGBT community, exist.
    
    Again, this is jumping to conclusions.
    
    It really isn’t.
    
    True but that doesn’t mean any particular person who is critical of one section of the community is necessarily against the whole community, that doesn’t follow.
    
    It absolutely follows. If you are against Trans people, you are against LGBT.
    
    Firstly wow that took no time at all en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law
    
    I’m well aware of what Godwin’s law is. What’s your point, exactly? It’s relevant.
    
    Do you deny that there were Jews in Germany who hated the Jewish community? Yes or no?

    Yes.

    The article makes no mention of whether she views trans people as existing. Again, you’re jumping to conclusions. And to be frank, you’re being ridiculous.
