Wrong. You‘re entitled to your opinion but not your own facts.
Fact- The person is a man.
Fact- A man is a he, not a she.

I don’t care what pronoun a person with a mental illness (yeah my opinion, shared by the opinion of the DSM 4, but not the opinion of the DSM 5) wants to use. Free country. I’m just not going to affirm their delusion. No ‘her’ is being prosecuted, and no ‘her‘ was exercising any right.

And there you go with a TDS ‘But Trump‘ that seeps into lots of your posts that have absolutely nothing to do with Trump.
More of your opinion masquerading as fact.

DSM 5 is more current - does your doctor still use bloodletting and mercury to treat you when you're ill?

Like trump and other maQa yahoos you don't like it when your arguments/logic are turned and used against you and you resort to whining tDS and "but trump" because you know it exposes your hypocrisy and you have no defense. Classic "rules for thee, but not for me".
Nop. That is an opinion from DSM 5. Psychiatry is the most liberal area of medicine (opinion) that’s full of opinions (fact). It’s not cut and dry/black and white like many other areas of medicine.

lol there was nothing in my argument that had anything to do with Trump or MAGA. I would have said (and did) the same about men pretending to be women before Trump came down the elevator in 2015..You just resort to your weak TDS crutch of ‘But Trump‘ trying to claim hypocrisy when there is none.

And I edited 2 posts prior at the same time you were responding that I read the one sided HuffPo piece that kept referring to this man as a her. They only took his side of the story. No statements from the police, DA, the other party, or witnesses. Made a claim about what the video nearby surveillance showed, but no video provided. So I‘m sure it went down just like this guy described, and he is just an innocent victim in MAGA country.

But oops, Laramie city isn‘t MAGA country. While Laramie County is red, and WY went for Trump 72-26, the City of Laramie is blue.

How is Kelver different then George Zimmerman, Kyle Rittenhouse or the McCloskeys? You're awfully quiet about Kelver, were you as quiet for them?
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

maQa - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Show me an article that‘s at least not far left like Huffpo with statements from:
-the police and/or DA
-other witnesses
-that includes video footage

And maybe I‘d take this guy‘s one sided claims seriously.

A Laramie bartender faces felony charges after pulling a gun downtown.
There was video footage of the altercation recorded by the ever-present Second and Ivinson downtown livestream, but it lacked audio. Laramie Police Officer Hunter Rope reviewed the footage, according to the affidavit, which recounts what the video showed:

At approximately [10:03 p.m.], Kelver appears to be in close proximity to S.D. with her hand on her right hip satchel, where the firearm was later located. [One second later], Kelver is pushed backwards by S.D. and takes a couple of steps back and falls to the ground, still with her hand to her right side … Kelver’s right hand removes what appears to be a firearm from the satchel on her right hip, grabs the firearm slide, and pulls it backwards, typically in a fashion to load a round into the chamber … Kelver, after pulling the firearm slide back, points the firearm to her left, where S.D. is present on camera, holding the firearm in her right hand.
Don't be a pussy way out and attempt to dismiss the article and duck discussing the substance because it refers to Kelver as a she.

Reading is fundamental. As I stated, the article doesn‘t show the video. There is nothing in the article other than what he is claiming to show that he is being wrongly charged. He‘ll get his day in court like Zimmerman, the McCloskeys, Rittenhouse, etc did.

I don't think it's disputed that Kelver was shoved and fell to the ground. This is a transcript from the video:
At approximately [10:03 p.m.], Kelver appears to be in close proximity to S.D. with her hand on her right hip satchel, where the firearm was later located. [One second later], Kelver is pushed backwards by S.D. and takes a couple of steps back and falls to the ground, still with her hand to her right side … Kelver’s right hand removes what appears to be a firearm from the satchel on her right hip, grabs the firearm slide, and pulls it backwards, typically in a fashion to load a round into the chamber … Kelver, after pulling the firearm slide back, points the firearm to her left, where S.D. is present on camera, holding the firearm in her right hand.
That's significantly more proof that it did happen then anything you've provided to show that it didn't. You don't think it happened that way then prove it.
