time is just selective about targets. back in the 2000s, being gay publicly was being blasted on.Nowadays being gay is less of a problem publicly, however the hate is now towards being trans. their hate is very seasonal.

I would have been hatecrimed all the time for being trans if i already would have come out in the 2000s, i honestly don't think i would have survived being trans in public 20 years ago. Not to mention that i would probably have been gatekept permanently from transitioning for being lesbian, or that it was impossible in my country back then to get a name change without either bottom surgery or forced sterilization (using cryoconservated sperm to sire a child also meant that your name change was retroactively voided and you were declared a man again back in those days. Oh, and we had forced divorces for married trans people, too). In the US, trans panic defenses were still a thing in these days. You could get away with murdering us when you stated that finding out about our transness after sex freaked you out. But yeah i guess time is being selective for targets and my opression just started happening 5 years ago and nobody bothered us before then. jfc.

Yeah Gwen Araujo’s case was early 2000’s and plenty of people agreed that she had “raped” the man who killed her at the time.

The Crying Game and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
