Quote:I don't care who commits a crime, the sex, race, orientation none of it matters to me.  They committed a crime, they are a criminal, not a transgender not a black person not a white person.  They are simply a criminal. When you start attaching things to criminal like transgender, black, gay you entice an entire community to defend them even when they are wrong.  If we want to stop stereotyping people maybe a good place to start would be by not labeling them.


A person committed a crime. this happens everyday..

I completely agree. I was going with the not judging people because of their transgender status or whatever status people are labeled, whether self identified or not. The status of a person seems to be a hot button issue. Sometimes people need actual mental health care as opposed to prison. And I mean inpatient lockdown type, not the "live your life how you want and check in with us once a week."
