If I mentioned the phrase stochastic terrorism, probably a lot of people in the LGBTQ community wouldn't know what I was talking about. But If I gave the definition, a lot of folks in the community would then know what I'm talking about because we can all relate being a victim of it.
Stochastic terrorism is:
the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.
Or when LGBTQ people are accused of wanting to have sex with kids, harm kids, recruit kids, "convert kids into trans people."
I think you get my point. But a lot of folks aren't aware of just how common this sort of this happens. Every day right in front of our noses.
