CitizenVectron Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 A few notable recent events in a fast-accelerating dangerous situation developing in the United States: Boy with autism kicked out of N.J. movie theater after using bathroom with mom, lawsuit says WWW.NJ.COM Theater employees called police after the 15-year-old, who is unable to use a public bathroom on his own, went into a women's bathroom, the suit alleges. Mom (caregiver) took her autistic son to the women's bathroom to help him use it as the theatre had no family/gender-neutral bathrooms. The other women in the bathroom at the time were understanding, but the manager found out and said there were no "transgender" bathrooms at the theatre, and kicked them out. 2 Cisgender People Killed In Suspected Anti-Trans Attacks WWW.HUFFPOST.COM The attacks claimed the lives of an Indiana woman and an Oregon man, both cisgender people. Two cisgender people were killed recently (one in Indiana, one in Oregon) under suspicion of being trans. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 That bathroom incident is infuriating. The kid looks nothing like a “grown man” and it’s clearly a parent/guardian with him. What kind of manager goes around looking to make trouble for their business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a thing I'll now need to worry about with my oldest girl? I don't know if she'll ever get to the point where she can use a bathroom on her own. Just fuck these people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he wasn’t gonna empathize with the business owner. Has he ever shown empathy with the LGBT community after a violent attack? I’ve seen him defend SCOTUS when our rights were taken away, downplay the fears that we have over Florida, defend a business for refusing to serve gay customers, and downplay the news when the governor of Texas said he was gonna separate trans kids from their parents, but I don’t think I’ve seen him show sympathy when there’s LGBT violence or violent rhetoric being used against us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unogueen Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 There's a poverty to the word empathy these days. In nursing, it's part of the backbone doctrine that allows a regular mook to dig arm deep into a constipated patient to clear an obstruction, to cause pain by attaching catheters and intubing. It refers to not understanding the emotional state, that's actually sympathy. But realize and understand the lived experience that creates the situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamusha Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 You don’t have to completely understand what someone is feeling to have empathy. It just means you are actively trying to put yourself in their shoes. As a white person I don’t know what it’s like to experience racism but I know what it’s like to be discriminated against or feel like my life has less inherit value so I use my experience to build empathy towards other marginalized groups even if I am not part of those groups personally.

There are different degrees of horror too. I can’t fully fathom what it’s like to live in a country under late stage Nazism, but I know what it’s like to live in a country where one party is openly calling for the eradication of people like me. It’s horrifying, and what’s even more horrifying is how many people I thought were friends are willing to be silent or even downplay our fear over the use of genocidal language actively being used against us.

The shocking caught-on-video attack has left Jasmine Adams traumatized, her distress compounded by no arrest being made. But on Monday, she moved a step closer to possible justice when her lawyer, Robert Brown, filed a discrimination suit in Staten Island Supreme Court against the West Brighton Deli Grocery & Grill. No charges have been laid because the store won't identify the worker to police. However, the police officers who responded seem to know the person well enough to have a friendly nickname: Quote when Adams went back to the grocery and called for police from there, it took officers four hours to show up, she said. The officers, she said, appeared to know the attacker, referring to him as “Mr. Fourth of July.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
