The Chechnya, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan things all make my blood boil. Gay men and Lesbians are being murdered in other countries, but I'm told that I should instead focus on memorizing 1 million made up pronouns because that's apparently more important. Also I'm told my sexuality is a choice and that I should be glad straight women call me a "fag" and "queer."

Hell, even the trans cause itself. There are trans people that get killed, and I certainly find it awful.

But so many of the TRAs care more about bullying gays and lesbians than about actually protecting trans lives at risk.

Go protest against the people who are actually involved in your afflictions. No gay man or lesbian woman is out there killing trans people or kicking them out of home.

Probably cause a lot of trans people that are killed die for other reasons. I hate to say it, but it's probably not politically expedient to them, so they only use them as political props. That said, I would love to reduce murder, across the board or in any specific area. So I'm 100% on board with reducing trans murder rates... so long as we can also work to reduce the murder/execution/persecution/conversion therapy/forced transitioning of gay men abroad.
