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.

  Look it up. It’s not my job to educate you. Facing danger in real life is a real problem, having every conservative politician focusing on banning your healthcare and reducing your rights is a real problem. I have to believe you’re an empathy lacking troll or a bigot, and likely both. Discrimination is a "real problem,’ and even if pedophilia was the number one political issue in our country, extrajudicial violence isn’t going to solve it. And I block bigots, because I’m not going to debate someone who acts in bad faith and says something like
  
  there are people with real problems at the moment
  
  Insane thing to say.
