The responses of some notice how I just said some people
were just excuses for their own or their friends behaviour towards TS people.
It was only meant at them not decent people.
Yes maybe I should have introduced myself to decent people but my reply was meant at those who I see as just making excuses for themselves
or their friends behaviour.
I myself have been deliberately surrounded twice by large anti trans gangs.
And once on same day (apart from the two gangs separately surrounding me and hurling abuse at me) someone came up to my face as close as poss to try to force me to speak
and embarrass myself in reply to them when I couldn't pull the voice of the other gender off.
I also have another Trans acquaintance who had a petrol bomb thrown through her letter box when people found out where she lived.
Luckily she managed to notice the burning carpet, door mat in time before it caught light to any of the rest of her home.
But these are the reasons why I replied how I did.
And it was aimed at the excusers cos I've just had enough of excuses for bigots
or their friends behaviour now.And not meant at decent people.
But of course I'm the one who was wrong. It's not those who excuse calling us freaks or them or their friends laughing at us which can lead to those gangs I told you of, or the petrol bomb or attacks or murder.
Just joking and the prejudice behind it can lead to that so that's why I reacted how I did, not just because of what happened to me, but because I want to educate and protect others from being abused or attacked etc.
But of course it was me that was wrong. Not those who make excuses
(say it was the paper that was wrong) or say nothing is wrong with them
or friends joking about it.That is all that I was putting right
but of course those people won't be told that they are wrong or corrected.
