When people justify the fear

A US Marine murdered a transgendered prostitute in The Philippines, and was found guilty and given 12 years in jail.

But what's heartbreaking for me is the number of people defending and even applauding this 'man's' actions. What they say you'd only think that a 2 dimensional Saturday morning cartoon villain would say.

Half of them are also women which makes it even tougher, as you'd think that women would be more empathic...but no, many are not. I've seen the poor dead girl attacked, called a 'he-she', an 'it' misgendered, insulted, said that she deserved it, that she was 'pretending' so on and so forth.

This is heartbreaking for me to watch, and makes me so disgusted at the number of people who are so eager to attack and demonize this poor woman and lionize her killer. Why? Because she was trans, that's it.

Because she was trans, she deserved to die.

That's...it's awful. I wish there was more we could do about this.
