I'm not trying to moral grand stand on you here. I'm saying that your reactions to your negative experiences are valid. But how far you take those reactions needs to be kept in check. Its not a high minded or aggressive stance to warn against letting the emotions of that trauma cause you to overreact. Try not to read it that way but rather as understanding and cautionary. You seem like you try to be decent and fair. You wouldn't let one bad person from other demographics/groups/whatever dictate how you treat all them. Don't let these handful of assholes control how you think of and treat all of trans people. Don't become the monster they accused you of being.
I think you should also consider that they’re probably just lying and don’t actually have these negative experiences, since they also say they got kicked out of a community garden they helped fund because they were white and kicking out white people helped the garden get more grants.
It’s just not likely that one person is a walking Fox News story, lol
