The last words I had with someone at Pride tonight, someone who I thought was maybe a new friend was - "well, you're not a real woman anyways". (kbin.social)

I should have stayed home with my cats and ordered take-out. The gays are just as transphobic as anyone else. Fuck people. I opened myself up and I'm mad I did.

comes not from violent men, but rather other women

Just in case you travel abroad... beware that it might be a cultural thing. In some countries, where men owning women is normalized, "letting a fox into the henhouse" may be reason for directly killing the "fox". In more civilized countries, it's the "hens" starting a ruckus when they see "their spaces" getting "invaded", while men might seem more tolerant only because of "a hole is a hole" mentality.

Tolerance and respect are hard, with a humanity coming from a history of systematic abuse of everyone, by everyone.
