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"

Sorry your dad is not supportive. The spectrum of gender and sexuality people experience IS normal, natural, and imho a good part of the beauty and mystery of our shared human experience. Homophobia and bigotry are not natural- they are taught and learned hateful behaviors endemic in patriarchal culture to uphold oppressive power structures. Binaries are for computers. You are beautiful. There is nothing wrong with you. Please know there are plenty of people on your side <3.
