The article states; > "Sanna has argued in the past that jailhouse phone calls show Tubbs, now 27, was attempting to use gender identity to game the justice system"

I would be interested in the content of those calls. Like did they outright say, "I'm going to pretend to be trans to get a lighter sentence." Or were they just talking about genuinely being trans and hoping they'll take that into consideration?

Yeah. Being disrespectful to a minority group opens the door for plausible deniability, and framing accusations. They should be fired, not suspended. Your distain for a person is no excuse to belittle their identity, make racist/sexist/transphobic/homophobic comments about them. If you can't be professional and impartial in a court room then you have no business in that line of work.

I get all that. That’s why it’s stupid to protest green energy over fucking reindeer grazing. If you tell someone that you think everyone will die off they don’t give up their cheap, reliable electricity, but then throw a fit about windmills because of fancy elk, you lose credibility.
