Holy crap! Even posing with a photo is bad? So treating us as humans is now considered a bad thing?
I'm a cishet white guy, I'd never heard anything from Mannarino before and I already want to punch his face so bad.
Yes. That's exactly it. The fact that transgender people exist in the world is abhorrent to them so it's an affront to their senses that anyone would acknowledge them as human beings. They need something to hate in order to feel alive and they've latched onto trans-hate as their new socially acceptable hatred.
I'm grateful for the brave public figures who are absorbing so much hatred and rage but standing tall in who they are none the less. We need them to fight back against the hatred just by virtue of existing in the public space so that we can move forward, however slowly.
This is why, some time ago, I decided I was never going to try to go the "stealth" road. Society, and particularly the subset of it I was a member of, really needed me not to. I don't regret that decision... but I am worried that one day it will get me thrown into a woodchipper.
I share the same thoughts. I'll never be quiet or hidden, but I do think it might get me killed someday.
It’s really fucking sad you guys feel this way and for no good discernible reason other than hate and that you’re a small enough group that it’s easy to bully you with little to no recourse. It’s sad there are many people who can’t get their head out of their ass and look at and hear the actual people affected by this bullshit. Luckily there are many people who are absolutely disgusted by the state of the world and the hate campaign against trans people, hopefully we’re enough to protect you guys. I got a little brother I’m getting gray hairs worrying about with all this shit man, but I try to keep in mind that there are good people out there. Lots of support at rallies and protests I’ve been to
This is actually quite comforting, thank you.
