Transgender people are an integral part of the LGBTQ+ community. We wouldn't be where we are without transgender courage. You may feel alone, but you are not. Stay strong.
Do not blame a victim for being attacked. If you decide that only some trans people are worth standing up for based on your own purity test, you are no better than any other oppressor.
Yup. I get that. Completely. Terrible that she is in that space and she owes people an apology. She needs to educate herself.
And still - do not blame her for the hate she received and do not back down from supporting her rights as a human being. Human rights are for all. No purity test needed.
I'm not blaming her, but she sure as shit is blaming gays and blacks in that post.
Now if she goes completely fascist, I'm going to blame her. And I won't be standing with her. Why? Because Nazis are not human and therefore are not entitled to human rights.
No, you're NOT on your own, though it may feel like it. Isolated, yes. In a minority, maybe even a very small one, yes. But you are NOT on your own and never will be. Some of us are and always will be happy and proud to stand beside and with you.
I'm so sorry you went through that. Just remember, God doesn't make mistakes. He made you, made your heart, and made you who you are. If others can't accept you, then eff them. They're going to hell. ❤️🙏🏼
Idk.maybe it's just me but I think what's in someone pants and who they share it with is their own damn business. My only choice is, if someone wants me to call them he her they it, whatever, to oblige them or not. And hey, rule number 1: Dont be an asshole. It's no skin off my back to use pronouns
To anybody reading this hit with the urge to reply "you're not alone": Stand for your sisters and brothers in tangible ways when able, on the streets, at your job/home/etc.
What she's feeling is the same thing cis BIPOC feel when their white friend stays silent while their dads burn crosses.
Trump/GOP/Elon/X—Are Mentally Deranged Angry Sadists—Who Enjoy Purposefully Inciting Cruelty/Spreading Hatred! This Is True For All Extreme Right-Wing Political Parties,Domestic Groups, Media Too! Everyone/Democratic Gov. Is Enemy And Straight White People Are Victims! FASCISM!!!
George Conway shared your post and I’m glad he did. You and every single trans person matters no matter what the hateful idiots out there say or think. My husband & I stand with the trans community. Unfortunately I know the LGBTQ+ community can be awful but know some of us are good & here for you.
Horrifying doesn't begin to describe the situation today. I am sorry for what you are experiencing. Some of us are allies, and I hope knowing that you haven't been abandoned by everyone helps in some small measure. Please be safe!
Some marginalized people tried to stand up for everyone. Voters didn’t want to follow us. You will need to find someone most people will follow. But please don’t be upset with all marginalized people.
I'm terrified of Christian zealots; I'm terrified of little white boys driving Cybertrucks; any Real Housewife person (I'm highly allergic to plastic and silicone; Republicans with Harvard degrees. NEVER CONCERNED WITH ANYONE'S SEXUAL OR GENDER IDENTIFICATION.
Things seem worse because the hatrs have been empowerd by a wannabe dictator to speak out. They used to be in hidg beneath white hoods.
An alt view..
It's better to know who these people are, so everyone can see them comg. Those of us who have always stood w you & all the "others" still stand w you.
Actually what is happening is similar to what happened to Jews in Nazi Germany. You are being transformed by the Trumpists into a "non-human". Its wrong and its disgusting.
I am so sorry. Admittedly, I don't know anyone personally. That does not mean I hate anyone. Just know there are people who would proudly stand with you, support you, and tell the haters to fuck off. I would have to sign it, though. Or carry a sign? (I am nonverbal) 🧡
I’m sorry this is happening to you I have a lesbian daughter and I understand I will say this though those rights that all marginalized groups are feeling we as black people fought for and we are tired, not because we are fighting we are tired because it was our blood that shed for all to be seen
And those we fought for don’t want to fight for us and with us that’s why we said we sitting out not because we want to but because we lost so much in the process and to see the gains we made during the civil rights movement to be thrown away in 3 weeks is disheartening we are tired.
"-If you give the mob someone to look down upon, they will be loyal to you forever"
A hallmark of tyrants throughout history is that they are always looking for scapegoats to demonize and persecute. The more vulnerable the grup you attack is, the better. Gays and lesbians are next in line.
For a while, I honestly thought we were progressing, that the direction of humanity could only ever go one way, more compassionate, accepting and forgiving. But these days, I worry I am just naive and that we can regress and hate can triumph. I hope my doubts are proven wrong, I really do.
I'm very sorry to hear that, but the bottom line is. The white man's divide and conquer technique. Has us all against each other more now than ever
Some of us don't realize who the true enemy is😳
How can people who are not trans help? I have little money or influence but I want to do something that can make a difference in a good way. I'm so sorry that such vulnerable communities are being hurt and ostracized even more.
I am so sorry to hear this and know many more people support you like me. I know that is not much to say but I truly appreciate you and your courage to be YOU!
The unfortunate thing about human nature is that the worst amongst us always have to find someone to hold animus toward. Whether they be Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, Irish, Gay, Lesbian, or Transgender. It's all part of the cycle of hate that supports fascism.
You’re not alone. Grizzly bear parents still want to help. And fight back. But Dem pols need to stop saying abandoning you is a must for the party. The ones that do are moral cowards.
I am 65 years old straight white guy. I don't and have never understood ANY public display of hate from one group to another. It does not make sense to me. Race, religion,LGBTQ status, economic status, ethnicity, etc....how does any of that impact me as a person or the country?
Absolutely unacceptable. It’s no one else’s BUSINESS! The rest of us need to speak up whenever it comes up and let these perverted Republicans know that it’s NOT their business! Period.
I just wish people stopped giving a shit about what other people do that has zero affect on them. If it hurts your feelings, deal with it and leave others alone. And if hate drives you, go find a war and shoot at someone only if they want to shoot you. Bon voyage...
I'm so sorry that you are experiencing all this hate. But you're not alone. We're here. We're just trying to figure out how we can help. But you're not alone.
You are not on your own, there are millions of kind rational human beings that walk beside you as you are. Hate is screaming loudly today, but tolerance will prevail. Never give up.
I am so sorry. This is not okay. My daughter’s best friend is trans and has been spending weekends with us b/c life has been so overwhelming and brutal. Please take care of yourself and know there are so mantly of us standing with you.
I’m so sorry you went through that. Hopefully, your experience will give you greater empathy for others you have turned your back on in the past (Palestinians; other transgender ppl).
You have no idea what installed politically means, huh? Israel helped create Hamas and then fought them. This is well known. Here, I'll help educate you. Israel is not the innocent it claims. They instigated October too. https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/
The only good thing to come out of this hell is that a lot of well-meaning straight folks are really, finally seeing the impact of trans-/homophobia for the first time.
You’re not on your own. There is still a community that welcomes an supports you. We will continue to fight for equality for all. Please don’t lose hope.
I’m so sorry Brianna. My LGTB daughter is living up in Philadelphia- moved there from Texas because of the hatred here. Fear, festered by the “Right” has grown like a tumor into hatred.
I am so sorry. I think many of us are in shock that this insanity is even real. Decades of efforts to increase acceptance and love for neighbor, seems to have evaporated into hellish insanity and willful stupidity.
There’s an epidemic of hate, and I don’t know how we’re going to fix it. Even when the hateful get their way and have all the power, they’re still angry and their hate still grows. It feeds on itself.
American Hate was focused on you by the Right Wing
They needed a target
Trans Gender was chosen
It is a shame that it has happened
Help is not coming
Democrats grabbed their share of the 2.5 billion campaign dollars and headed for the bunkers
Very little leadership left
You are not on your own. I stand with the Trans community. Many of us in intentionally marginalized communities stand with you. I am personally working to find ways to find safe places for the Trans community and others because it is coming to that point.
She never supported republicans. Y'all hate her for supporting democrats. Leftists pouting and letting trump win released the leopards on trans people.
Actually I think it was more like her reading 2 books & then deciding she knew enough to engage in & argue against Palestine
Oh before you ask how I knew it was only two books she tweeted that out.
I do engage with my elected officials & msm but I also have enough time & energy left to call out someone that supports genocide, guess I'm kind of special like that.
Oh and Brianna isn't just a small creator she actually works for & has been paid by TYT
Licensed professional counselor here and I will keep fighting for the LGBTQIA+ population. I suggest we all go to the ACLU meetings, join GLAAD newsletter, volunteer for events that promote visibility, help fund gender affirming care through donations (can other people add to this list too?)
I care about you and stand with your civil rights as a fellow citizen and as a human being deserving of dignity, care and self-determination of your own identity. ❤️ (And for context, I grew up as Evangelical as they come.)
The courage it takes to transition is incredible. I can’t begin to know the struggle you faced and the conviction you possess. There are millions who understand and are with you. We just are not as vocal as you need us to be. I will try harder.
Not on your own. There's been a deliberate campaign to divide voters into narrow interest groups and then encourage them to hate each other - and then waste their energy and their brief existence in our incomprehensible universe fighting each other instead of fighting the evil that divides us.
Please dont feel you’re on your own. There are millions of us that just see you as a person, and we support your right to be whoever you are. We just aren’t as loud and normalized to hatred as the magas, but we’re here and we speak out for you even if you can’t hear us over their vile shrieking.
This is why we need to advocate for EVERY trans and queer person Brianna, not just ones you like. Every transphobic person sees us as degenerate wastes of space, and if we stick together the LGBTQ+ community can defeat the rise of bigotry and anti queer and trans sentiments
I mean you can care about multiple things at once. I care about the genocide of Palestinians in Palestine, along with the attacks on federal rights of trans and queer people. You can’t just focus on one single issue, intersectionality is everywhere
Holy shit, I can’t care about innocent people getting murdered and ethnically displaced? You do realize there are literally trans and queer people in Palestine, it’s not like Israel is that accepting either. What’s with people fantasizing about queer people being murdered by middle eastern’s?
Well it prob wouldn't hurt if the non-LGBTQ+ folks not down w/ this shit would get loud back. Because it's not going to stop there. Any cis man or woman who isn't sufficiently 'masculine' or 'feminine' enough to meet whatever arbitrary standards they decide, is next. Nobody should tolerate this.
You’re exactly right, even if it makes liberals uncomfortable never stop asking cis allies to support us always. Sometime they like to forget about us and claim “you survived the first term” but not everyone did. Always fight for everyone’s civil rights no matter what
Hey I'm down for getting mouthy when people are being stupid. And, I've got a long history of school report cards to prove it + a few ex-coworkers/bosses. I'll always have y'all's backs bc I was raised by the Jewish side of my family & they knew how this eventually goes. Why ppl can't see that, idk?
Can you please give examples of leftists being transphobic, genuinely curious? As a staunch leftist all of the leftist communities I’ve been apart of are insanely welcoming and trans positive. If anything I’ve seen many liberal spaces say we need to not focus on trans/queer rights as much
There are indeed bigots, Lexi. That said, the trans activists (typically those of the nonbinary neo- variety) have sullied the perception of trans people; they are hyper-politicized, ideologically-driven, pestilent agitators who repel the general consensus. "They" need to shut up for a bit.
Non binary people are 100% valid, the LGBTQ+ needs to stick together and not segment. That’s what fascists and the right want, they want us splintered and infighting so they can strip all our rights. Just be fucking kind, if someone goes by she/her accept it, if they use they/them accept it.
It's clear that you would vote for the removal of trans rights regardless of the presence of non binary people being included. "They" are living their life and "you" need to get one
Devastating to hear what is happening in the US and increasingly so in the EU. Wishing you all the best and Strength. It is like we are moving back in time.
What was that you were going on about on Trigonometry? Democrats too woke, socialist twitter? Dems won't to burn the US to the ground? They are elitists?
Hang in there!
Current environment has given license to this type of language/behavior from people who're walking case studies of malignant mental pathologies, obviously inherent in their DNA through poor upbringing and education.
Take some consolation in that you have a lot of support out here. 👍
cis straight guy here who supports you and your cause 100%. Take solace that you are on the right side of justice and history and this, too, will pass, however dark and dire things seem now.
Sending you love. So much love. You are loved. And I believe, and hope that I am right, that millions more people love you than are hateful. i believe that we will stand in front of those who would harm you.
The MAGA mob has changed the country, along with their hero now sitting in the White House letting his pet Nazi dismantle the entire country, has turned the entire nation into a hateful and hate filled country.
The comments here are why I support Israel. “Victims” of “genocide”don’t claim victory. They also don’t brag about. 60,000 + increase in population during a “genocide”. There is only one country in the ME that allows LGBTQ individuals to live tier true self.
Sadly there are few of us that could be considered allies, but even we are a tiny fraction of our own community, the Latino community is not that progressive yet, but we do what we can to help.
I have friends that are in your shoes. I will always stand up for them. There’s more love than hate, even when we can’t see it.
I’m also not above using my second amendment open carry laws.
I'm a Clinical Social Worker and I just want to offer you my gratitude for your service to a country trying to negate you. You aren't alone against this idiocracy. Just as I do all I can to fight for my clients who are so vulnerable right now, I will fight for you and other transgender warriors.
I’m screaming at the hate directed towards trans people and call my representatives weekly to tell them that this hate has to stop. I also correct anyone who promotes hate and untruths towards the trans community. Keep this in mind that there are millions who support you.
I’m read this post from another nurse earlier today & felt physically sick on his behalf. The normalization of hate,discrimination, & genital obsession over the last decade has poisoned the people. Hate crimes perpetrated by the patients we care for have been increasing as a result 😢
Unfortunately it’s part of the medical industry. Once we obtain basic rights for our fellow citizens (including trans rights) I hope we focus on the insane amount of abuse toward workers allowed to take place in hospitals and actually give medical workers an avenue of defense
Fuck those insecure assholes. Seriously...you, living as your authentic self, are SO much better, than people who treat others like that. The world is a much better place with you in it...❤️
I don't understand how adults get so angry at other adults for living THEIR life. I know the main go to is"my children". A child seeing a trans person or a gay person isn't going to make your child gay or trans.Your child was already gay or trans if they come out.They will be miserable and hide it.
I feel horrible for every trans person, except people like you who wanted to lay with the transphobes. You thought you'd be one of the "good ones" and now you're finding out leopards will eat all faces
There are a lot of us who support the rights of trans people. We just need to make our support heard by being louder, smarter, and bolder. As far as I'm concerned, people from all marginalized groups need the rest of us to stand up right now more than ever. Best of luck.
I am so sorry these ignorant asses to do see a person for their character and not for their bodies or orientation. More people are supporting you than you know, and unfortunately the worst are the ones who stand out. Stay strong, unite, and we will all get through this. Hugs
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

What happened America?
A revolution began with a brick, as the transgender community spearheaded the push for change. Keep fighting & don’t lose hope. We are battling for the very soul of LGBTQ survival! 😷💪🧱🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 #Stonewall #LGBTQ
The Nazis attempted to wipe out our community & did not succeed. Donald's fascist regime will also be unsuccessful. We, the LGBTQ community, must remain resilient and resist this effort to eliminate us. 😷💪🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Noticed a distinct shift in how some in the other canary communities are handling this...its not good either. They are all starting to self select pushing out the ones they fear will bring them added attention.... never works out like that if you're wondering...it just delays the inevitable.
I'm so sorry. If it's any comfort, I stand with you. I've lived alongside transgender people for most of my adult life (college, work) and they're just people. All of us are trying to get by in an increasingly cruel world. Can't fathom why some people want to make it even harder.
Comments
This you? You spent the last 2 years covering and advocating for genocide in Gaza, and complaining that trans people are going too far in advocating for our own rights. All I see are crocodile tears from someone who had no issue with this until it was her turn.
Think Gaza
And still - do not blame her for the hate she received and do not back down from supporting her rights as a human being. Human rights are for all. No purity test needed.
Now if she goes completely fascist, I'm going to blame her. And I won't be standing with her. Why? Because Nazis are not human and therefore are not entitled to human rights.
What she's feeling is the same thing cis BIPOC feel when their white friend stays silent while their dads burn crosses.

One citizen who's rights are threatened is EVERYONEs rights threatened.
And the words ‘sorry’ really don’t do it justice
I do, however, hope that people will wake up from this path of hatred that so many seem to be on
As to what you had to endure, I really am sorry. I can’t imagine what this must feel like
Just know if you need friends, we're out there.
You're not on your own.

Oh before you ask how I knew it was only two books she tweeted that out.
This is how we got trump. Y'all don't engage in good faith discussion and just harass and alienate people who have different views than you.
Where is this energy for your elected officials???
Oh and Brianna isn't just a small creator she actually works for & has been paid by TYT
The far left loves attacking Jews like it will free Palestine somehow.
If they cared about Palestine they wouldn't have elected trump by not holding him accountable.
trans people are beautiful people.
Can't have it both ways dear
Please know that the majority of people do not feel this way and you are kind, courageous and most of all, loved for who you are!
Keeping on being the fabulous person you are!❤️

There's no excuse for the ugliness and pure hate being directed at your community. Or any community.
There's no reason for this. plz know so many more care than don't - trumpism has made being cruel acceptable again
BULLY: a small, vile person that needs to put someone else down to make themselves feel better
I see you.
I will support you in every way that I can.
I will come to your aid when needed.
I will lift you up as much as I'm able.
I will fight for your rights and your dignity.
I am your friend and I ❤️ you.
