ik this prolly bait but it’s ironic how people say this when the majority of discourse around trans people is cis people whining about shit that isn’t their business

Cause they’re used to being attacked by people for being who they are

people attack a whole group just for the choices they make with their own bodies, and even though they’re not really doing any harm, and they’re an incredibly small overall population. The government would rather focus on trying to make any sign of trans people illegal instead of bigger issues. its frustrating, personally. They’ve made such a small non-issue into this huge political talking point and then are enraged when those people are like “hey can you quit pls”

The emotional toll of: Body dysmorphia, gender dysmorphia, high $ cost of hormone therapy, online bullying, in person bullying, uncertainty regarding sexuality and morality because of mixed social messages, fear of abandonment.... Makes people more sensitive, defensive, wary of others. Especially those who might genuinely feel negatively about trans people. It's an enormously difficult and painful lifestyle and existence to be trans. Many detest you, are apathetic, or are performative friendly

honestly i feel like be they make they're issues seem more important than everything else. All social injustices should be addressed yk but I honestly don't see the point in getting mad about EVERYTHING! For example, if someone misgenders you and absolutely means no harm then why get mad at them? you can't expect everyone from different backgrounds and demographics to understand right away. Nd you dont have to educate someone by being snobby either

How come of the 32 school shootings in the last 5 years 4 were committed by trans people (over 10 percent) despite only making up less than 0.1 percent of the population

Maybe because they were bullied.

if you want an actual answer, people try to claim they’re trans in the hopes that they can get the charges written off like a hate crime, maybe lessened with public sympathy, and also because when they do they immediately become 100x more popular in the news. it gives them the attention they crave. most of those people had never expressed a desire to transition or had anything medically in the case of the most recent one, dude detransitioned and went back to being a guy, so no trans there

I’d like to know where you got that data. Anything I’ve seen shows far more school shootings than that

Also white cis men make up far less than half of the population and are responsible for the vast majority of school shootings. I’d be careful not to confuse correlation and causation

this is a case of the loud minority lol. You don’t hear about how many trans people are polite or don’t correct because they get flat out ignored most of the time. but one trans person gets a little angry and it’s suddenly “forcing it down our throats” idk man it’s not that big a deal, just take the correction, apologize and move on
