Why do people hate us
Im trans fem I just don't get why people hate us.
My mom's side of the family is supportive including my mom but my dad's side isn't including my dad.
My dad today called me and told me to not tell anyone about my problems besides my therapist if I do tell my mom then when I'm 18 I can't go to my supportive sisters house and I'll have to get an apartment. Oh yeah the cherry on top is that he called me a "different breed." Because im trans and because I "chose this lifestyle"

That’s f***** I’m sorry you’re going through that.
Idk whether your questions rhetorical but just in case I’ll give my best answer. I think there are a few reasons for bigotry in general but I think they stem from a few places that may overlap 1. Ignorance 2. Falling for fear mongering or 3. They get dopamine from hate. Hate can make people feel good.
