Are good. And accepting the weird or different was the way to go.

People need something to hate, decided to pick trans since they probably did zero research, decided "BoYs iN GiRls LocKeR RooM BaYuD!" And let the hate roll. Anything to make a bigot feel better about themselves, and misery is good company for a group of shitty people.

What they should focus on is all the hatred and rape and child molestation within the church

Behold this meme I made to mock my pal

He claimed that in the downfall of any society it was recorded that trans people became more prevalent. Obviously that’s bs but after some prodding at why he thought that could be true, he admitted he is only male due to moral reasons.

I think it's really just as simple as they are different and people just don't like things that are different. Compounding the fact is a lot of people don't have any first hand experience interacting with a trans person and so believe what theyre told through their favorite media source.

I want to know this too. Also why I was raised to believe that British Asians would come up the hill and storm our white middle class village, even though this somehow still hasn’t happened over thirty years on.

Actually I don't know anybody who hates trans people. Tbf it's a pretty dull subject.
