It's important that for the rest of your life when someone tries to make your compassion into a problem that you hammer them into the ground like a fucking tent peg
They should have been made to fear trying this and must be made to fear trying it again
Those who enjoy cruelty only stop for fear

I'm going to pin this because this is something I feel very strongly about. The right for transgender people to exist is a fundamental human right, and the attempt to erradicate them is not just bigotry. Its not just about legality. It is a form of genocide. It is about ending their existence.
