Trans women, especially black trans women, are more likely to be the targets of violence than any other group in this country. Some cis males just can't tolerate the idea of anyone wanting to leave their "superior" ranks and will use any excuse to "punish" anyone who does so.
Trans women are the real targets of the bogus war on trans people that the right is currently waging. Bullies always go after the most vulnerable. It makes me sick.
