Because they don't want to actually report the fact that the majority of these hate crimes come from one religion, protecting it because it's the dominant one amongst White Wing Extremists and Moderates alike.
Seems like this would fall under a hate crime, not just basic harassment. Not to mention that this wasn't just an online thing... he stalked and then taunted the victim IRL.
America isn't the whole world. This article is Canadian. Canada's First Nations (and all Indigenous but especially them) believe one version of gender nonconformity comes from the person being of two spirits simultaneously. Hence two-spirit (2S). Today you're one of the 10,000. Congrats.
Genuinely interested and want to get educated on this - is the idea that each individual has a male and female spirits (and gender is a spectrum on that scale)? How did the First Nations people determine how to divide the traditional gender roles, for example who the hunters chasing the prey are and who stays back to take care of the young ones? Or are these two seperated topics that are mixed up in my head?
