Reply to comment by NoodlesrTuff1256 in F.B.I. asking about videos and racist website in connection with Colorado shooting by Rage_Like_Nic_Cage

I don't know why you're getting downvoted to hell and back I think it's an interesting moral question.

Personally? Coming from a trans person, I have a hard time taking the statement at face value and dont feel someone gets to claim kinship with a group of people after murdering them.

Just my 2 cents.

Neither do I although some nonbinary people have commented elsewhere on this issue that while they might feel skeptical of this guy's claims and despise the violent crimes he committed, that not honoring his claim and preferred pronouns could be a slippery slope. Or, in other words, asking him to pass a kind of 'litmus test' could lead to other nonbinary people who have done nothing wrong whatsoever to have to 'prove' themselves. A little wordy there I know but that's kind of the gist of their objections.

And I can see that side of it too. Like I said its a bit of a ethical cunundrum.

I still personally think murdering a bunch of lgbt people just before alters the preponderance of evidence considerations for me, but i'd probobobly aquiece in company of those who feel strongly the other way.

Can we just refer to them as "peice of shit" and be done with it? 🤣
