A middle school in Achille, Oklahoma is closed following violent threats by parents on social media against Maddie, a 12-year-old transgender student who identifies as female and used the girls’ bathroom.
Maddie had been using the staff bathroom at her old school but used the girls’ bathroom at the new school because she wasn’t sure where the staff bathroom was. She was then accused of peeping under a bathroom stall. Her mother said it was probably because she “leans very far forward to use the bathroom.”
Then the threats began on a private parents’ Facebook group for the school. The parents called Maddie “it” and “thing”, suggested that her genitalia be mutilated to make her female (“a good sharp knife will do the job real quick”). One said it was “hunting season on them kind” and said there was “no bag limit.”
Maddie’s mother Brandy Rose said she fears for her life: “These are adults making threats– I don’t understand it. She’s an awesome kid. To see any fear in her, I can’t explain how bad that hurts me for them to hurt her.”
KXII reports: “The sheriff said the mother filed a protective order against one parent but no other arrests have been made, however several agencies including the FBI are stepping in to see if any comments constitute a hate crime.”

Sorry to say this but if we have to think about whether or not threatening to cut a 12 year old child is a hate crime means there is no hope for us. What has this nation become when it’s citizens feel they have a right to threaten minorities with no fear of repercussion. The only ringing heard now is the death knell of freedom..
he supported abortion and illegal immigration AND gun control until he suddenly ran for president and wanted to appeal to rational thinking people which is why he pretends to be a right winged smart person because hes a liberal in disguise tbh so ye fuck him
actually it’s because the right wing offers him more money [because they are more careless with their money/have to reinforce their ideas somehow: the NRA for example]and because he can get support by shock value, but go off, support a racist/sexist/homophobe/transphobe. saying that people who support and adore trump are rational though is embarassing and sad for multiple reasons, but mostly because you’re implying that racists/sexists/homophobes/transphobes are okay and fair in their discrimination
trump isnt-
and im literally-
GAHHHH-
AND HE ISNT EVEN HOMOPHOBIC!!! HES THE FIRST FUCKING PRESIDENT TO SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE GOING INTO OFFICE ALTHOUGH HE DOESNT CONDONE IT FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS HE STILL PUTS IT ASIDE FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO MARRY WHO THEY WANT BUT
AND HIS POLICIES ON IMMIGRATION ARENT RACIALLY MOTIVATED ITS FOR ECONOMIC REASONS
AND HE SUPPORTS TRANS
ok the sexism i can kinda see in him but still
but yeah sure im a gay guy who supports homophobia because i support free thinking and religious freedom
you don’t even need articles about his sexism and sexual harassment because he’s been 100% open and bragging about it (but for example, “grab her by the pussy” and Stormy)
you can like Trump, but saying he isn’t racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic is blatantly foolish and willingly turning a blind eye
(also, I’m pretty sure Obama supported the LGBT community during his presidency. He might not have been the first president ever to do it, but he certainly did it before–and better than–Trump. here’s what he did.)
ANYWAY. SIDENOTE but not really…where did you or I say anything regarding free thinking and religious freedom? you previously said “rational thinking” in reference to Trump supporters–not FREE. there is a fine difference between rational thinking and free thinking. trump supporters can think freely, but just because it’s independent thought doesn’t mean it’s rational.
that still doesn’t explain where the religious freedom bit came from though, as it wasn’t mentioned in your first comment. if you’re implying I’m against either, you probably a) don’t have a proper understanding of what “free thinking” (again, free thinking is not equivalent to rational thinking) or “religious freedom” is, or b) you don’t know my beliefs and haven’t cared to ask because you’d rather attack me in your ignorance. (additionally, if you’re going to support free thought, support it in everyone rather than just in ways in benefits you and your side. that prevents it from looking hypocritical.)
p.s. supporting free thought and religious freedom doesn’t mean you’re homophobic?? it’s the fact that you’re supporting a person–more importantly, defending a person–who is homophobic that, in turn, means you support homophobia in some form.
