Oh man I shouldn't have looked at the spreadsheets. It lays it out so clearly. Have you noticed the murder rate against Trans is going up? 1970-75 saw 12 Trans folk murdered, then it jumps up to 62 in 2012 alone. (No data on 2013 or 2014 but I really want it).

Some of that is it wasn't as reported in the past. Sad but true.

I thought of that...it is more likely we Trans folk are going to try to be open than in the past.

Even I try to be open...but I gets scared for my safeties...you just can't tell with some people. I've been in some hairy situations as it is. Someone once raped me in that "you're a freak and this will correct you" kind of way. Once I got cornered by some hombres in a train station men's bathroom in Cali. Luckily a security guard came by and my skinny self ran off.

Bathrooms are the worst thing, the bane of my existence.

rough trade's no joke. Sorry that happened. Hopefully you found some better people?

Meh, they come and go. I don't have much of a social life, truly.
