    Not you, particularly. Though you did accuse me of ignorance… which, to be fair, I don’t entirely deny, I just honestly was looking for a deeper conversation and got carried away, so I do apologize for that. I really never meant to offend you, but I do feel (as a trans woman in the us) an overwhelming amount of hate everywhere I go, real or virtual or legal. I wake up everyday and there’s terrible news that’s unfortunately critical to know and oppressing to look forwards to. So with what, YOU did not say something requiring me to defend myself, but rather you said some subtle things and are of the cloth (religious pun) and of similar stance of ignorance of how our why religion could be despised by my ilk. Which, when calling me ignorant is very reminiscent of being called ignorant for existing. Do you have any idea how many times a day I try to report comments or things that just tell me to kill myself or other trans women to kill themselves or calling them men or whatever shit, only to have nothing done? I’m constantly on the defensive. I realize you mean well, so I do apologize for being stern about it. I am serious when I say that you being a good person is an exception to the rule, though. It’s baked into most religions. And even if some entire sects choose not to follow that, it doesn’t change the prevailing issue that will inevitably resurface as a very serious issue with lots of people.

      A trans woman living in the US.

      I’m sorry you have to deal with the hatred you do. I support you in full.

      I’m ashamed those people who treat you the way you do share my religion. I don’t believe for a second they are acting in good faith, pardon the pun.
