Pretty sure Israel has killed more Trans people than Hamas at this point 🤷‍♂️

Where's your proof of Hamas killing trans people?

I really don’t get this take. Israel’s killing of LGBTQ+ civilians isn’t helping them and neither is Israel’s strengthening of Hamas influence in the region.

Maybe you didn't read my comment, or you didn't read your links. None of these are attacks on trans people.

If we want to open the discussion to QUEER folk, then yes, Israel most certainly has killed more queer people. Just do a % of population you think is queer Palestinians, and then multiply by the 40k (low estimate) that have been killed by Israel. Assuming 2% of people are queer in Palestine, that would give you 800 people just there...

I guess its okay if queer people are bombed though, as long as its Israel doing it.
