    The purpose of a system is what it does…

      Many inventions in human history had the purpose for war, yet their greatest use was in peace.
      The same, many inventions had the purpose of peace, yet they worked better for war.

      The purpose of a system is not what it does because it depends on who does it, how and why.

      ANY system/object will be used by the masses in unintended ways. From guns to vehicles to computers and software to legal matters and the law to education… It doesn’t matter what a system/object is designed to do, all that matters is what it ALLOWS someone to do. And, because humanity is filled with horrible people, everything will always eventually be twisted into an example of the worst of the worst.

    I was scared to go to school due to bullying. Transphobia might be a justification for it, but lack of transphobia doesn’t stop bullying.

    Also, the bullying doesn’t stop in school. Bullying continues in adult society.

    Maybe the human species is just shitty?
