So, today, there was a report or a TV show on a transgender girl that went to my old school. I didn't watch the show myself, as I didn't know about it, but my FB is covered in statuses about it. And hoooly shit am I offended.
From what I've gathered it was a M-F person called "Natalie" who has a very unsupportive mother. Some statuses:
"Can't believe I'm away to say this actually feel sorry for he/she Natalie cause of his mother.."
>he/she
Ok, well, that's not reaaally the best choice of wording there, but I guess people don't really know much about that to be able to use the correct gende-
"Natalie's mum is a hero... Now beat the little f*ggot with a stick!" (It was uncensored in the status... Oh, and it got 28 likes)
...
what the f*ck?
what the ACTUAL f*ck?
What the HELL is wrong with some people? Who the hell thinks it's okay for someone to get beaten with a stick because of the lifestyle they choose?
There were a few more statuses, mostly just full of "correcting" their name to their pre-transition name (no, no no NO, their name is what they choose as the gender they currently are, damnit)
There was only 1 status I liked:
"Really really proud of Natalie - to go on tv the way she has to admit and tell everyone the truth, and show them what its like. Getting really fed up of all the stupid statuses insulting her though, just cause she was brave enough to do something true to herself and prove to the world that she loves who she is, and you can't accept any of it, no need to be horrible about it. Well done Nat!!!! 100% behind you as always "
Alright, sorry for the rant, I'm tired, stressed, and have a slight personal problem right now, but holy SHIT that makes me RAGE. It's f*cking disgusting to think it's OK to harm someone simply because they are transgender.
