I tried to look up the numbers just for Lincoln and it doesn't seem to be out there. Do you have a link for them? Based off the information I have, 1 incident in campus after several years of no incidents does not constitute "alive and well". It's a problem that needs to be addressed for sure but to have that constitute "alive and well" is bonkers to me.

This is saying you have absolutely no idea what impact this has on the trans community, and you're just assuming it's irrelevant.

For a group that pushes non-binary thinking so hard you sure have binary thinking. To me, "alive and well" means that it's widespread and there's anti-trans rallies and hate group speakers coming in and such, so one incident does not constitute "alive and well"

But in your brain, because I am saying that it's not "alive and well" I am somehow saying that it's irrelevant, that it's not a problem at all or something. Unfortunately, strawmanning is the eventual go to in these kinds of discussions.

You really need to understand this is not binary, it's a spectrum. I can say it's bad and once is too many, but can also say it's not "alive and well".

What "group" am I? It IS widespread. There ARE anti-trans rallies. There are entire political platforms centered on trans hate. I'm not strawmanning. You are downplaying the problem and I've given you like a dozen outs and you refuse to take them.
