Why do you lie so much . Stop putting words in my mouth. Lying is a hateful act.

It’s Australia’s choice to follow the news about the prejudices of America and the choice of foolish and misguided and even hateful people to act on those prejudices. We could choose to be ourselves, we could choose to report and focus on many European countries and aspire to have many of the same social policies.

But I think the main reason American news and social movements, for the good and bad, are reported on and followed are because we share the same language, English.

Your words. Don't blame me for them. Taste a bit off do they? I'd hope so.
You said it's my choice whether the crap out of the US affects me or not.
No, I don't choose the actions of others.
So you try to blame me.. that's ironic considering that's what you just did minutes ago.
You can try to repackage it but people can read what you typed.. unless you delete it.
As for me, I am blocking you, I don't want transphobes in my life. You can blame me for that too if you want.

  Nobody here has offered hate to you. You’re choosing to interpret simple facts in that light. Australia and USA diverge on many topics, and no: we don’t blindly follow their policies on anything.
  
  While the rhetoric in their media has been ghastly on trans issues this past decade, I have not seen that mirrored in Australia. There is no debate raging in parliament over dunnies or drag queens reading. In fact, when some loonies tried to protest such an event here, it didn’t go well for them. We even had a drag queen come read to my kid’s class. Fully supported by the school.
  
  Yes, we are culturally influenced by the US, but we don’t blindly follow them. If the US were a paragon of Trans rights, there would still be dozens of nations around the world where trans people are persecuted. We don’t need to be fixated on any of these countries or their politics. We can (and do) go out own way.

    The police call it a hate crime, what do you call it, an offer of love taps?
    I am interpreting ASSAULT am I?
    Get fucked. Interpret that however you want
    Just because you have not seen something happen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen and don't you dare tell me what it is like to live my life.
    How very mansplaining of you.
    I am not even going to bother. You're arrogant and ignorant.
    Blocked.
