The Times tested the blast waves of several popular civilian guns at an indoor range and found that repeated firing could add up to potentially harmful exposure.
You understand that “everyone else” would be white people right? As in the exact reason that people of color and 2SLGBTQIA+ persons go to the range??? You honestly sound like a bigot.
It will never not be interesting to me how lesbians, including my parents, continue to be the least accepting among 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in my experience. The number of lesbians I know who are TERFs is insane.
Calling yourself 2S when you aren’t native might be appropriation depending on the context but I wouldn’t consider using it for inclusivity purposes to be appropriation and I don’t think anybody else in my tribe would either.
As a European it always amazes me that Americans think that a gun will solve their problems. Even after the problem doesn’t get solved, however many guns there are. Decade after decade. After decade.
And yes, usually I think about some redneck white moron “on the shooting range”, but everyone can be that person it seems.
And as an American I just don’t want to be a completely vulnerable sitting duck if shit hits the fan here. Why do you Europeans think every single owner is an obsessed nut?
What you think about when you picture a range in your head doesn’t excuse othering everybody who isn’t white or delegitimizing their fears.
You would also do well to remember where white people came from… because it wasn’t America. Sooner or later Europeans are going to have to come to terms with their colonialism.
Seems they also lack humour!
(So American to think people of color and/or Lgbt+ are immune from being what everyone else might be)
Don’t hurt yourself circlejerking too hard.
Go burn that anger at the shooting range, lol.
Gun culture is fucking wild

So it’s only okay when you don’t want to be erased?

You actually native or do you just like going around lecturing people?
What on earth does my ethnicity have to do with this conversation?
Some see usage by non-native groups of “two spirit” terminology as being cultural appropriation.

What you’re doing is called goal post moving.
