    babe, it's not just TG people who are targetted, anyone who is 'different' can be targetted by a small minority of idiots. In the UK, a while ago, a woman (genetic female) who was dressed in Goth clothing was beaten (to death, I think) and her male partner injured.

    There is always a small minority of people everywhere who can't deal with people who are 'different' to their opinion of 'normality'. Give them a gun and the results become much more serious, much more quickly.

    It is sad, but is something that everyone has to deal with. Advice:- ALWAYS be vigilant for the idiots who might cause you problems, regardless of who/what you are.
