I’m confused is this saying that LGBTQ people should arm themselves to protect themselves or is it saying that guns have the right to exist?
But “get bent” refers to sodomy, in a typically derogatory context. It’s like saying “this sucks dick” to mean, “this is bad” (read: people who suck dick = less than). It’s the same as people saying, “this is gay” to mean bad. So really, we should be phasing out the phrase “get bent.”
This reads to me as “I am not debating my right to exist [as a trans person or trans supporter]. I’m ready to defend myself and my allies if need be, to whatever extent is necessary. Back off or else.”
So it comes across as a call to be ready to fight back, which would mean that if you’re comfortable owning a gun or another weapon (or more comfortable owning a gun than not within the context of the current sociopolitical climate), it would be wise to have one on hand. I don’t take it as a literal call to arms, it’s more like an alternate, more direct/specific take on the Gadsden Flag. Not overtly hostile, but a clear warning that aggression will be responded to with an appropriate measure of self defense.
