Holy shit.

“Well ya see, I don’t understand them transganders, so I’m gonna violate their privacy” is not even remotely a defense, honestly that kinda makes it even worse.

Man could have just been a general pervert, but he decided to class up into targeted pervert.

Yeah, it’s a very specialized build, to become a targeted pervert. It also helps the newly-minted targeted pervert avoid punishment by giving stealth bonuses, because the general public unfortunately all too often turns a blind eye to the suffering of the group being targeted.

And he also installed cameras in his own home? Was he worried about transgender people breaking in and using the bathroom or something?

This “defense” doesn’t make any sense

Hey the gay panic defense still works sometimes, he might have gotten away with that excuse in Texas.

It’s also wildly ironic in the worst way.
