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.

People hate what they don't understand. And that applies everywhere, not just in the US. There is hate against trans, gays, blacks, Jews.... and I think there always will be. I agree it is sad and unfair. I think it is important to remain true to yourself, do what you want to do, be who you want to be, and not care what others think. I now that is easier said than done, but I do think it is the only way. It is the same as the life lesson: accept the things you cannot change.

Thankfully not all people are like this and I do think overall there is more acceptance than there used to be.
