Transracial
This is not a space for satire or hate against transgender people. Absolutely no racist comments or posts allowed.
Identity is personal, respect is unviversal!
This is a community for those who identify as a different race.
The term "transracial" doesn't have a clear definition yet, but we want this to be a safe space for adoptees of color and mixed-race individuals who are grappling with their identities. Others who feel marginalized are welcome to share their stories here, as long as they are coming in good faith.
Rules:
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.
Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive.

No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
To anyone else reading, no records allege what they say, the story is a ramshackle piece of shit, and anyone that posts this stuff does a disservice to society and collectivism.
Yeah, to anyone else reading: here is the article just in case you don't wanna make an extra click:
A Portland man faces attempted murder and hate crimes charges after prosecutors accused him of bursting into a rage and beating a transgender woman so severely that responding officers couldn’t distinguish the woman’s features.
Worth M. Briggs IV, 55, used a slur targeting the woman’s gender identity while inflicting the beating May 11 inside a Southwest Portland home, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Briggs had supplied the woman with drugs in the past and went to her house asking to do drugs with her but then repeatedly punched her when she refused, according to the affidavit.
Briggs also allegedly seared the woman’s arm on a stovetop burner and strangled her, the affidavit says. The attack stopped when the woman gave Briggs $300, prosecutors said. “The contusions and swelling around (the woman’s) eyes was so severe that officers could not identify her,” prosecutor Leslie Wu wrote in the affidavit.
Portland police arrested Briggs on June 18. He remains held in the downtown jail on charges including attempted murder and first-degree bias crime, booking records show.
Defense attorney Gayle Kvernland is seeking release for the longtime union stagehand and short-order cook, saying Briggs doesn’t pose a risk to the public. His criminal record includes prior convictions for attempted kidnapping and possession of methamphetamine. Reached for comment, Kvernland said Briggs denies the allegations.
Nearly 600 gender identity-based hate crimes were reported to the state’s Bias Response Hotline in 2023 — an increase of more than 50% from the year before, according to a report released to lawmakers by the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission in July.
Fay Stetz-Waters, the Oregon DOJ’s civil rights director, said at the time the data showed both an increase in overall incidents and in awareness of the hotline, leading to more reporting.
So @AgentOrangesicle seems to think this article is "full of shit." And he seems to think that it's ok for someone to beat transgender people. And he called me a piece of shit for posting it.
@AgentOrangesicle has been banned for his disgusting transphobic moments. I wanted to put them in the reply so everyone can see what a transphobic piece of shit he is. :)
I didn't write the article though. So if you are upset about the content of the article, please refer to the articles author/publisher. Thank you.
This will never happen to you or anyone living the same silly fantasy as you.
I would hope not.
I didn't write the article. If you have a problem with the article, please contact the editor.

Do you realize you are downvoting and arguing against an article discussing the horrible crime of transgender violence?!
Are you implying that you think that being transgender is worthy of being brutally attacked?! Why so transphobic?
Like what the actual fuck is going on with you?!
I'm leaving all of your comments up for the world to see. You sound very dangerous.
No civility was given to us in your posting of this bullshit.
Actually YOU chose to come into this community. I created and mod this sub, so I'm allowed to post news articles if I want to.
If it upsets you that much, you should probably not read anything in this community.
And also, the fediverse is large, so you can create your own communties, and submit whatever news articles you read, to it too. Thank you.
You sound really upset. Are you ok?
Don't worry, I'll leave your post here for all to see just how bigoted you are being. You seem very transphobic. I'm not sure why you are so mad. Also, this isn't 4chan, so not sure what you mean. Are you confused, maybe?
Ok, yay for you, I guess? But this sub isn't about creative writing. So please stick to the subject.
You don't have to agree, but you DO have to be civil. See rule #1 in the sidebar.
You have no power here
Actually I do, @AgentOrangesicle. This is my Lemmy community that I created. And that I mod. I can ban you at any time. And have for your transphobic comments.
You're a transphobic dick who's laughing about transgender violence. You should be fucking disgusted with yourself.
How pathetic is your incel life, that shit like this makes you laugh?!
Go start some weird incel community and leave the rest of us alone. There's a reason you can't find someone to have a relationship with you.
Fucking incels, man...sigh...
