Should violent criminal acts by transphobiaphobics against transphobics be treated as hate crimes?

[RingOfFire]

People who hate on transphobics are everywhere! Transphobics are the victims of senseless hate crimes and constant bigotry and harassment! Shouldn't these transphobicphobic people be convicted of hate crimes?

Sure if there is a violent act, I'd be down for that. But someone getting upset and calling you out for being transphobic isn't any more of a hate crime than it is for you to hate trans people.

Exactly correct except that there shouldn't be such a thing as a "hate crime." If someone murders someone else and it is NOT considered a "hate crime" then what is it? A love crime? The whole concept of a hate crime is unconstitutional and violates the Fourteenth Amendment equal protection under the law.

Why is everyone trying to make everything a hate crime. Shit Oregon made it a hate crime to hurt or kill a child rapist.

There should not be any such thing as a hate crime. A crime is a crime. Crimes cannot hate

[RingOfFire]

I agree. This is satire and that is one of the points of it.

Hate crimes are narrowly defined, so it's probably not possible.

Sure. If it can be a hate crime the other way aroaund, this can be a hate crime too. Helps to give these people the equality they claim to want too.

That's why the entire concept of hate crime is absurd.

If someone murders someone else and it is NOT considered a "hate crime" then what is it? A love crime? The whole concept of a hate crime is unconstitutional and violates the Fourteenth Amendment equal protection under the law.

"Violent/homicidal acts against a certain group of people" is literally the definition of hate crime
