Almost DIed Today A transphobic story of my day.
14 years ago
Today was my first encounter with a transphobic person... a person who lived next door to me and lives in my community.. a person who "supports" the LGBT community.... It was so awful that it actually made someone's tumblr post.
I was told that she would rather a "tranny" be raped and killed than a regular woman... she then said if I was ever in a female washroom that she and another male friend of hers who identified as an "Alpha Male" would beat the shit out of me... I title this "Almost Died Today" because I almost ended it. Yes I know it's weak and hence I didn't do it... but never have I been so close in many years. I know this stuff happens...but not to me... I feel unsafe and scared in this fucked up world...
In the end I called the police.... they told me not to use the washroom when she was in it and said I have a tough situation... A complaint was put on her file and she is getting a call telling her to stay away from me....
Here's the link to the article: http://transpeoplerapewomen.tumblr.com/
I don't even know how to feel about that.
I am transgender and reading something like that makes me realize that my hate for people is not something that is not justified. Not all people but a vast majority of them anyways.
I am sorry you have to deal with stupid people and their awful opinions, but just remember they are only opinions and they can say what they want and say what they plan to do, but they won't do anything.

-holds yuma- ish ok.. Zoa is here
please dont say stuff like that T////T
I'm sorry for being morbid but it's true...
Just reading all this makes my blood boil.
I love ya Alice. Stay strong okay?
I think you're doing amazing and you're really brave and amazing.
I'm sorry this happened to you mMiss Yuma. I've be running into transphobic pppeople lately that have threatened me, but back way the hell off when they realize I gotz a can that I gotta use since both my feet were operated on.
Things will be rough, but remember that this is a long hard road, that thankfully has a lot of help along the way...
My attitude is as simple as "I do't give a fuck if you don't approve of my descision"
People like that don't deserve to be part of society.
The Facebook posts from that idiot made me physically ill that's how much they anger me.
It really is a tragedy that people like this exist, and it makes people like me want to lash out violently at them. The amount of ignorance in this world is astounding.
Really, I hope you're doing okay...
*Offers supportive hug.* I wish you didn't have to deal with things like that; things seem hard enough for you already. I hope things will work out ok.
I don't suppose you're allowed to carry weapons for self defense where you live, are you? Regardless, my view on the issue is that I would rather be judged by twelve than be carried by six.
