2. I remember meeting a trans person at an event. My friend and I started talking

to them and you could visibly see the relief in the trans person's face. How hard would life be if you had to be afraid of what people thought of you all the time. I've been through it a little facing gossip and rumour. It hurts like hell.

6. You used the word "haters" . . . . .

. . . . . and in my view, used it appropriately.

It really chaps me to see the word used in petty internet squabbles over meaningless crap. What happened to this woman is, indeed, an act of real hate.

Sorry, not carping at you. Just using the opportunity to make a point.
