I am not a product of US school system, so, perhaps you know more than I am.

However, calling for violence is not what I've heard there. You, of course, are entitled to your own interpretation. Just do not expect others to agree.

Neither am I, but you don't have to be American to know that 1950s and 60s were a terrible time to be "different" in any way.

If you were trans in the 1950s and 60s you were persecuted, criminalized, physically brutalized by society who viewed you as a freak, pathologized and involuntarily institutionalized in places where they tortured you with hormonal drugs, chemical castration, electroshock "therapy", and lobotomies that permanently harmed people beyond recognition and killed them. I'll repeat - against their will.

To say that trans people need to be treated like they were in the 1950s and 60s is a coded, but unambiguous call to violence. There's no interpretation that you can possibly come up with that's favorable or peaceful for that group.

I don't expect you to agree because I know that you're not engaging honestly, nor is anyone else who's painting Kirk as a peaceful figure.
