Our “weaponized anger” is quiet frequently used in defense of minority groups, particularly trans people.

And they definitely deserve all the protection they need. I am fortunate to have some trans friends myself as well, they are definitely the most oppressed group and even frequently the ignored member of the lgbtqia+ by its own members. By comparison I'm definitely the weakest member as a gay man, I have "passed" to varying degrees for a large amount of my life and so have been fortune to dodge some of the atrocities they are subjected to.

If there's one group that deserves the militant protection in today's environment it is them. That I can definitely appreciate your community does!
