The attacks claimed the lives of an Indiana woman and an Oregon man, both cisgender people.

    @stopthatgirl7 The problem is people just want to get in the way of me and other Trans people from living our lives, it doesn’t help they are literally trying to kill us as well as allies around us. Thank you for all the allies that do stand by our side, we are sorry you have to suffer the same pain for standing up for us being ourselves.

      If we don’t stand at your side then all we do is lend legitimacy to their side. We are all brothers and sisters in the fight against hate. We fight together and we either win together or die trying because if we don’t win then this world isn’t worth being a part of anyways. ❤️

        There are places with great LGBTQ laws, there are places with terrible laws, there are places that kill LGBTQ people. A gay person in a progressive city is probably having a better time than a gay person in the middle east, who has to hide to avoid death. You also probably only notice the more vocal LGBTQ people, there’s probably plenty of people you’ve met that are and you don’t know. People like you ruin it for everyone. You’re not treated differently because you’re cishet, you’re treated differently because you are an asshole.

          Not sure what the person you where commenting on said but I agree there is plenty of LGBTQIA+ people that suffer in silence or vocally, I am glad to be who I am and wish to continue being myself. I do not wish upon anyone death nor do I wish them harm. I wish that people would just support people for who they are and live in a more calm peaceful world, but sadly there is hatred and we have to defend our existence to be apart of this world compared to some people.
