Is someone doing homophobic/transphobic harassment automatically a reactionary? Cause usually if I'm being harassed or attacked it's because someone thought I looked at them wrong/they thought I said something to them/they are on drugs/dealing with a mental health crisis, which then becomes transphobic harassment once they notice that I'm trans.

But I always chalked it up more to our fucked up homelessness and healthcare situation than transphobia itself, idk.

I don't ride the light rail alone anymore.

I would say 95% of the time they are, these days especially. I also don't blame you
