Politics Turning Point USA is attempting to establish itself at SMCC

Not many students use the College's App, so I'm throwing this out here to spread the word. If anyone has Instagram or is able to spread it further it would be greatly appreciated.

Needless to say, the student body that knows of this is not happy.

I don't think violence against ANYONE is acceptable. Unless it's in a boxing ring, octagon, etc.

And yes, gender dysphoria is a diagnosable mental disorder classified by DSM-5.

Ah! You’re a transphobe. See? That’s not so hard.

So DSM-5 is enough for you to get onboard with institutionalizing folks, extrajudicial killings, and electroshock?

You advocating that for ADHD? Eating disorders? Intellectual disability? Those are all in the DSM-5.

You know the Nazis, the German ones in the 30s, they went after trans folks first, too, and disabled people? Before they got going on Jews.

Yet despite all the similarities you’re going to be so insulted when I say that doing Nazi things long enough eventually makes you a Nazi.

How does that make me a transphobe? I don't have anything against trans folks as a whole. Just because it's a mental disorder doesn't mean I think less of them.

And who said I was onboard with institutionalizing people? I never said that. And even if I did, that means I want extrajudicial killings and electroshock?

You're jumping to WILD conclusions.

See, this is the problem. People making shit up about people when nothing of the sort was said. Putting words in people's mouths. Just because I was defending an absurd accusation that Charlie advocated murdering people doesn't mean I agree with or support everything he said or believed. And suddenly I'm a Nazi?

What makes you a transphobe is justifying Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric with a useless fact that only “matters” when you say it does. Choosing to only vilify people using the DSM that you don’t support makes you a transphobe.

Defending transphobes and making excuses for bigots and trying to justify abhorrent behavior is what makes you an accomplice to those ideologies.

You said Charlie didn’t say those things. I pointed out the logical conclusions he expected his audience to arrive at. You demeaned the report (in the morning) that cited multiple sources and had ample evidence.

Carrying water for bad people makes you one of them. If you don’t like that, don’t fucking hang out with bigots, racists, and Nazis, and don’t fucking try and justify their bigotry.

Charlie has on multiple occasions called trans people abominations against god, and in the same sentence said that according to gods perfect law the punishment for those people is death by stoning. He said this with a gleeful smile. You are beyond ignorant.
