Post your location and I’m sure people will be quick to point out how overtly racist your area is, which is probably why people are too afraid to speak out.
Years ago, my mother told me she wasn’t opposed to gay people, she just didn’t like “how they have to be so in your face about it.” Wtf? Do gay men at the grocery store accost you and make you watch them make out?!
That’s why I believe that trans people are being attacked in real life. Also, I know that what we see on the internet and television bleeds into real life.
I’m not going to try to change your mind here. Changing someone’s mind means taking care to massage their emotions, make them feel good about themselves and you, and get them to make the decisions on their own for their own reasons. It’s a lot of work. I’m going to skip it.
Have you considered that you might be stupid? I’m not joking. Seriously. Because “I haven’t personally seen it, so I don’t think it’s real” in this kind of context, maybe most contexts, is weapons grade stupid. What else don’t you believe in? Bacteria? France? Submarines?
I’ve never seen anybody IRL complaining about trans people. I think the whole thing is a media-powered storm in a teacup.
I have, as a transperson I experience it often.
Color me skeptical
Okay dude, believe whatever you want, my experience is real so good luck with your fantasy.
I will if you give me the hexcode for skeptical
that’s a good one! I got confused for a second haha
Damn, I’m all out of skeptical-colored crayons, closest I have is incorrect-colored ones. Hope that’s ok
The US bible belt is real, and so is the spite for anyone who “threatens” their norms or traditions.
Sit in a restaurant in rural SC for a day. You’ll see just how casual the racism and bigotry is.
People take stories too seriously. Differing stories maybe, but the same dumb self-indulgent kneejerk tribalism. That’s people.
I have seen people complain about trans people in a country where there are only 9 trans people
Sample size of 1 is not indicative of anything.
I think it greatly depends on where you live.

Oh, you know what else I forgot? People picketing drag queen story hours.

When you’re done being mad about being insulted, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_transgender_people might be a good entry point.
Yes, you sound very serious.
