    Mr. MacDonald had this to say about the sentencing: “In Nebraska, a man was sentenced for killing a female crossdresser [sic] who had accused him of rape and two of her friends. Excuse me if this sounds harsh, but in my mind, they all deserved to die.”

    In case you don’t know where to look. This (and other comments) is well documented and plenty discussed. I don’t know if I’d say he’s right wing nor would I say he’s left wing. He was definitely bigoted and sexist.

      Anti-trans is hard to point left or right because pro-trans is centre-right

      But I’d say violence against them is a right wing opinion

      The rest of his views could be left though

          People on the left are gender abolitionists (xx and xy is all gender means and everyone is an individual do it never goes past that) you can transition but that doesn’t make you less of a man/woman

          Obviously trans doesn’t fit in that but on the left they blame society and want to change it so there aren’t any trans.

          Then you get the centre right like this website where they talk about gender identity and being trans because “born in wrong body”

          Then you go right/far right and they blame the individuals

          I feel like people here just associate left with utopia so any opinions they have must be leftist

          As far what’s right/just that’s up to the individual and not really worth getting into because people online aren’t going to be swayed one way or the other

                  “Group of people here think everything they do is left”

                  Person comes in

                  “No! That’s leftist because I believe in it!”

                  What do i need to learn about them before deciding if they are like that?

              You can be left and have right wing opinions

              You’re just not leftist on this issue

                thank you for explaining my own ideology to me

                also please note “nor anyone I’ve ever met”

                genuinely what is your source for leftists believing this, or anyone right of candace Owens believing in gender being determined by anything other than biological sex

                  The right doesn’t believe in science, they just use leftist arguments to appear rational when arguing in bad faith

                  Their beliefs come from religion and conformity
