Exactly. When they say human, they don't mean women.

Also not "vulnerable." I mean HELLO.

New think says TIMs are more vulnerable. Mainstream news literally gave me a piece on the dangers of being a black trans woman today.

I'm older and I remember when gay people were mostly depicted as villains or at least completely one dimensional in television and movies. I remember very clearly when Matthew Shepard was murdered. There was a group who used to patrol the gayborhood in my city similar to the Guardian Angels in the 1990s. I grew up knowing that gay people were vulnerable historically, but as a woman I was never told en masse that they were in more danger than women as a group. It's like people who try to tell me that women's equality is "solved" now. Can't we agree that multiple groups have issues? This is so poisonous that we have to push back so hard instead of working together.
