    Because hateful people always need an other. an outsider. Someone be fearful of, yet feel smugly superior too

    It used to be black people.

    then it was the irish and the itallians.

    then it was hispanics.

    then it was gays

    and now its trans people.

      Oh honey it never stopped being black people.

      Most on that list are still targets. A world without trans people cannot exist, and noone’s happy to be a canary in the coal mine…better believe anyone on that list is watching their own rights be stripped away when trans people’s rights are. (General Bodily Autonomy not the least among them)
