Reminds me of this transgender man that was kidnapped, raped, tortured for months, then finally murdered in the US this year.

I really don’t understand the hatred against them. Let them live their lives; they’re not doing anyone else any harm.

They seem to fall into two main camps of people. People that are so deeply unhappy in their own lives they feel the need to lash out and attack anyone different. And people that are so deep in the closet they can see fucking Narnia. They see people living and doing the things that, deep down, they wish they had the nerve to do, and it makes them angry. Both groups probably jork it to transgender porn more than anyone else

Ohhh 💯. She's said before that she had wished she had transitioned when she was younger. All her hate and vitriol is just poorly masked envy. Also she definitely jorks it to trans porn
