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.

I don't want to be cynical, but maybe it's ineptitude? Lack of empathy? I remember coming out of a bar one night, of course, well for me at least somewhat jovial... I met a few people chatty, so I chatted with them, so as I walked with them, the drunk girl wanted to give the homeless person money (that's fine, though questionable if she would if not drunk, but I don't try to measure that way), she proceeded to try and wake the guy sleeping. Her friend stepped in, leave him alone, and I had to say it's entirely fine if you want to give him money but your charity is not worth you waking him up on a cold January night when he has finally found sleep.
