Why is there so much hate for trans people.

We are not even .08% of the population in the US but this is all they can focus on. we have bigger issues like growing homeless, rise in food and living cost and the rise in rent and house cost. Yet people want to control my life and tell me what i cant and cant be. Im lucky I live in cali and im half way done with my transition. There is all this negative news its scary.

Not gonna lie: i have trouble thinking of a trans woman as a woman or a trans man as a man. I wish i didn't.
But i absolutely do not get how people can be so hateful and hurtful about it.
Like pronouns, for example. The fucking soap box some of these bigots get on about not calling a trans woman she/her. Like get a grip and show a little human decency and basic respect to address a person how they want to be addressed.
There are indeed much bigger issues. But for whatever reason, these people are getting outraged about someone identifying as another gender and not about kids getting killed in school or people choosing between death and bankruptcy because of a broken healthcare system.

I would never be shitty to a trans person because of my own hangups.
I wish more people would do the same.

@Pikachu Im the same as u. i treat everyone the same with respect. But at the same time im cautious of others.

@Pikachu I agree. Cruelty is never acceptable. After that, I may disagree with some things, but being kind is number 1.
