      You’re replying to an edited comment and missing the context of the exchange

        My original comment was “literally a witch hunt”, and after you replied I decided to edit it to say “it’s a witch hunt” to be more clear I’m not saying trans people are witches.

        As said below I’d gladly change it if you provide a reasonable suggestion but please don’t accuse me of editing in bad faith because I’m literally doing it for you.

        And yes all my comments have the edit symbol because I have the bad habit of posting the comment then editing it to write an extra paragraph in the seconds after it was posted lol.

          I don’t think any reasonable person would assume you were saying trans people are witches. It’s called an analogy. I got the gist of what you were saying. Cruz is trying to imply that “Trans people are a scary boogeyman man that we need to label and ostracize via a public outing“. Yep this sorta sounds like a witch hunt to me too. 🤣
