    Maybe edit the wording in the post to clarify that instead of writing this response.

          Sorry, but the attitudes you expressed have directly hurt the trans community in recent years. Hell, in the recent Skremetti case that saw the erosion of trans rights, even the liberal justices were completely ignorant about just how far back in time trans people go. The idea that trans people are a new phenomenon is directly harmful to our rights and safety.

          Look, fine if you want to LARP as an armed defender of freedom. But ultimately you're just playing dress up. You may style yourself a defender of the rights of minorities, but you're giving advice that is only applicable to someone in your position. 2nd Amendment rights effectively do not exist for members of many minority groups. What you're allowed to get away with because you're a middle aged cis white guy will result in members of other groups getting immediately shot by police.

          Say fucking what?! LGBT people have been a major gun purchasing demographic since Trump 1.0. Didn't get the memo? /r/liberalgunowners was flooded with gay and trans folks asking for advice on purchases and training and safety. That's anecdotal, feel free to find sources on your own. Such articles and stats are an all-you-can-eat buffet.

          And yeah, I got privilege, shitloads of it. I know this, so do not fucking dare come at me like I'm sheltered! If I can use that privilege to support the less privileged I'll do so, with out without your permission. Two seconds after Florida legalizes open-carry, I will be at the protests with a slung AR and my .45 on my belt. Don't want to do it yourself? I'm 100% fine with that, would not ask that of anyone else. But if we're at the same event, expect the police to act as a polite peace-keeping force, because of me and people like me.

          Yes, being armed in the face of opposition can certainly result in getting killed. They're going to kill LGBT folks as is. Guessing you weren't around for the onset of the AIDS epidemic? They purposefully let that shit run buck wild, did nothing, because it was a "gay disease". If you want to curl up in a ball for fear of your life, get on the trains and beat the rush.

          Some of you people are so goddamned insufferable you turn away your own allies, the very people who would stand with you. Always looking for a fight, always looking for ideological purity. Well fuck you in particular, you will not turn me away from human rights.

            Private ownership.
            Why would you even want this, when you can book it as a service without all the hassles and this highly criminal "privacy". What are you? A drug dealer? A pedophile? Both?

                    Yeah, we just called trans folk hermaphrodites or transexuals or some other words than we use now. Language has been fluid but the concept is not new. Hell, I grew up familiar with it and I was pretty naive.

                    Hermaphrodites are a completely different thing. They are not trans, well I guess they could be but hermaphrodite is not what people used to call trans people.

                      That's my big thing. They always claim they need a truck to do truck things, but the vast amount of truck beds I see are empty. I don't own a truck, but still need to do truck things sometimes. When I do I pay around 40 bucks to rent one for the day, do all my truck things, then return it. Idk, maybe I'm crazy but I've spent maybe a few hundred doing that, that seems like a better deal than 80k

                      I off-road camp do bees hunt and I'm only me why would I want a second vehicle. The stuff I do can be messy and hard to clean especially the bees. Are you going to see my box empty probably doesn't mean it isn't used and also doesn't mean I don't use my truck for other things. A car can't do.

                          Okay, still as other people said, unless you literally carry things 4+ times a day financially it doesn't make sense to buy a new truck, so that hasn't changed.

                            Private equity figured out that the 2008 panic happened because people were defaulting on mortgages. So they just went straight into the housing market as landlords. They’ll eventually lobby congress to make it illegal for the poor to own housing

                                SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they've found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.

                                They're desperate and aware there's something wrong with the system they're in, without having the education or experience to realize that the people running it don't actually care about the rules.

                                  Not exactly, there are some requirements but if they’re met (you commit an offense, or in high suspicion, e-bike controls), and you can’t show ID it’s a fine

                                  But essentially yes

                                    And it hurts absolutely nobody.

                                    Turns out, the problem isn't carrying ID, the problem is US cops.

                                          In Germany it‘s similar. You are required to have an ID with you. It’s not strictly illegal though to not have it on you but if you happen to have business with police (be it an accident, random traffic stop or you having part in illegal activities), when you don’t have it on you, they can make you come to the police station with them to confirm your identity, even if they wouldn’t otherwise.
