    That is not at all what I intended to say. I mean it is a witch hunt in the figurative sense.

    If you have a suggestion on how I could rephrase my sentence to be more clear, I’d gladly change it.

    Anyways the word “witch” has also been reclaimed by an alternative culture but that’s beside the point.

        You’re replying to an edited comment and missing the context of the exchange

          My original comment was “literally a witch hunt”, and after you replied I decided to edit it to say “it’s a witch hunt” to be more clear I’m not saying trans people are witches.

          As said below I’d gladly change it if you provide a reasonable suggestion but please don’t accuse me of editing in bad faith because I’m literally doing it for you.

          And yes all my comments have the edit symbol because I have the bad habit of posting the comment then editing it to write an extra paragraph in the seconds after it was posted lol.

            I don’t think any reasonable person would assume you were saying trans people are witches. It’s called an analogy. I got the gist of what you were saying. Cruz is trying to imply that “Trans people are a scary boogeyman man that we need to label and ostracize via a public outing“. Yep this sorta sounds like a witch hunt to me too. 🤣
