this is written my someone on a server i am, so full credit goes to them:
Hello everyone, in light of recent events, I am going to make a statement regarding transphobia.
I first want to apologize to everyone who has been affected by this. I want you to know that you are not alone, and if you have something you would like to talk to someone about, my DMs are always open. Personally, I have gone through this, as well as my friends. So, this is not something we should take lightly.
The literal meaning of transphobia is to be scared (phobia) of transgender people. Most of the time, we are scared of what we do not know. In this instance, people do not understand the struggles of trans people or why this happens.
extremely brief overview of transphobia:
Unfortunately, there are some who are not scared of trans people but still do not like us. Now, apart from hatred, transphobia can lead to physical harm. It has always been extremely dangerous living as a transgender person. Some people nowadays still do not want to accept the mere existence of us. The current situation for trans people, legally and physically, is extremely horrid. Examples of this would be the recent Alabama outlaw, lack of service protection, and dangers of coming out to your family. This proves that it is extremely difficult and dangerous, living as a trans person (excluding what the next section will explain).
