    Honestly I think that’s a large portion of it.

    They know if they treat us with respect, just let us exist, we’ll do so much better. And it’s our own choices and decisions that lead to that happiness. We face an obstacle and despite odds can overcome it.

    But we’re dealing with some thoroughly miserable, sociopathic individuals IMO, who can’t feel good until they know someone else hurts. They need targets, scapegoats – and here we are overcoming centuries of stigma. They see our gains as their losses, when in reality we can all do better.

    The more I think about it, this is the only explanation that makes sense for the irrational fear and hate toward trans people.
