Balldemort is a great name, though.

Except, as usual, noone is using individual cases to claim an entire population is potentially dangerous, though its claimed each time that when you point out such a case it means you are using that against all transpeople. Acknowledging that these people (well, abusive men) exist (and they are not as few as you would think it seems) and that loopholes make it easier for pervs like Balldemort..does not mean you are saying all trans people are pervs like Balldemort.
We know that Not All Men Are Like That too.
