Sorry for double-posting, I did try not to, but I also want to get Tony's idiocy about Isi Etute on record here. Reposting
from the sideshows thread:
Bit of a shitshow kicking off on US tranny Twitter today over the acquittal of Isi Etute.
Summary of the case,
archive.
The short of it is: Etute hooks up with a woman on Tinder, gets a blowie in her flat in the dark, leaves, tells friends he's confused about the weird blowie in the dark, friends say "are you sure it was a woman?", goes back to see her to find out, in the dark again, shines phone light on her face, turns out it's a dude, dude goes for something, Etute thinks he's going for a gun and smacks him about. Dude had used some random woman's photo on Tinder. Dude dies. Police find knife. Etute is unanimously acquitted after 3 hours' deliberation.
Victim's name is
Jerry Smith, and is referred to as Jerry Smith throughout the case. No-one suggests he is anything other than Jerry Smith, some dude using a random woman's photo to trap men on Tinder, who he would blow in the dark in his flat while wearing a hoodie. Eventually Jerry gets found out, goes for a weapon, and gets his face caved in.
Whatever you think of the ultimate outcome, this does not sound to me like an innocent victim.
Don't worry tho, the troons have come to this brave and stunning now-transwoman's rescue!

Obviously I'm including
Tony here because he is my one true love. Note that the defence in the case
did not use the gay panic defence. The defence was that Etute thought Smith was going for a gun. Police found a knife.
To be fair to Tony he did issue a (very partial) correction:

lol but one that makes it sound like Etute went back a month after the blowie in the dark to specifically murder Smith. Good save! (Maybe Tony's just mad because
he has a felony on his record and Etute doesn't.)
More garbage from the "no of course you don't have to disclose your trans status before sex" crowd (forgetting that there was no suggestion that Smith, who had facial hair, was trans):
Edit: Tony has a TikTok about it because of course. Uploading it here as I've a feeling he might pull it. (

Edit edit: Tony thought this was good enough to retweet himself so I can't deprive you lot of it.

(Again, not what was argued by the defence in court!)
