Dude the online trans crowd is the most uncharitable, cruel group I've ever encountered. Had to block a hundred people calling me a piece of shit this morning.
yeah, the ones on this thread are *after* the giant spew of hatred I've been getting over the past day. I just keep refreshing and blocking, refreshing and blocking. I missed a big swathe of people when I was sleeping.
I've avoided posting messages online my entire life, because of how poorly people seem to react to things they disagree with; and I guess I'm quite sensitive. Seeing how you deal with it all is inspiring.
Thanks so much! I really think my life accidentally prepared me for this; growing up in a professionally evangelist family, I was conditioned from a young age that it's ok when large swathes of people hate you, this is normal.
I guess I'm both lucky and not that I didn't have to go through that. I'm also happy, in a way, that someone else has gone through it; for reference. As I said, inspiring.
