Soccer (Closing)

This. Ain't no trans person ever done me wrong so why should I hate them?

Bigoted football ultras on the other hand...

How is that banner connected to trans people? (Not a hater, I'm geniunely asking.)

I feel like it's human nature to find an enemy by picking something that makes them different.

• someone from another tribe
• someone thinking jesus was a man and not a prophet
• someone wearing a red hat and not a blue one
• someone being a woman and not a man
• someone liking men and not women
• someone being from the east of a city and someone from the west
• someone being trans instead of male/female
• etc.

Eventually it'll be someone whose wearing cyber implants vs those who don't ala Deus Ex. It doesn't make it right but it just seems that we as a race need an enemy at all times.

I think for them it was just a easy way to try to provoke the bremen ultras as some groups in Bremen are openly leftwing and lgbt friendly.

But doesn't excuse the banner in any way.

Wait, maybe I'm being ignorant, but what do trans issues have to do with the gender binary? If someone transitions, they're generally MTF or FTM, which could still be understood as binary, right?

They think about genitals more than any gynecologist

There's a saying I see a lot that "Every accusation is a confession" and to me it's no coincidence that so many people on socials who spout anti trans/gay bullshit calling them "groomers" end up being predators themselves.

they dont hate trans people, they just hate the people supporting trans people

trans ppl are one of most marginalized groups who also have barely any representation in the public media, its a prime target for bullying when youre a horrible bigot, online spaces turn more and more into violent echo chambers so ppl get radicalized harder and faster than like 10 years ago.

Those ppl spend a lot of time online and Twitter's new boss is openly pushig and supporting anti-trans voices for example. German Twitter is especially hateful and barely moderated.
Not to mention that a *lot* of Germans are still/again not rly socially progressive

Partly because they have no other meaning in their lives than to hate on other people.

And partly because they want to believe that they're onto the establishment's sinister plot - they're pushing LGBT+ on everybody and eventually it will be illegal not to cut off your dick.

But these brave heroes are awake to this crusade (you could even say they're woke), and think that by getting on the hate bus early, that they can point with righteous indignation that they tried to warn us but nobody listened.

Or they were wrong, and they hated a minority for no reason, which for them is a win-win situation.
