Likely, or are likely to mistakenly target a trans person who happens to be around while they’re hunting the person they cat fished. The people who are okay with extrajudicial violence are mostly conservatives. What’s to say the people willing to go to such lengths to hurt someone wouldn’t take the opportunity when they see someone they believe is a groomer and pedophile simply for being trans? It’s easy to expand the definition, and we’ve seen it happen in the past. It’s happening right now in rhetoric. Violence against trans people is already statistically high.
Right. My lived experience doesn’t matter, nor the statistics. I’m not seeking attention, I, like the majority of people reading this, am alarmed. I’m seeing people I care about and the community around me hurt every day, and you think “gender rules my life.” Not a person worth listening to. When was the last time you got harassed in public for something intrinsic to yourself? For my trans wife, it was today. If you seriously think that trans people aren’t currently at the front of the culture war, you’re deaf, ignorant, or lying. Watch literally any pundit speak, any newscast, or any political debate around the country. Then tell me trans people shouldn’t be concerned about violent rhetoric aimed at people they’re increasingly being lumped in with. Bigot or stupid, I won’t debate you on the reality plain around me daily.
Correct, you’re lived experience means nothing to me, that’s for people who know you. As for statistics, you presented none.
And for the rest, you’ve invented a lot of what you think I said.
Take your victimhood elsewhere, there are people with real problems at the moment, as you can see there are pedo’s and worse to deal with, which compared to your issues, is a mountains to molehills situation.
If you’re reply is to tell me how hard trans people have it, you can fuck right off, there are much bigger fish to fry.

That’s a ridiculous set of assumptions, just because gender rules your life, doesn’t mean it’s the same for everyone. Go seek attention elsewhere.
