>>7026188>1 out of every 2 trans people experience physical assaultOf course they are. Social norms are reinforced by shame, threats, violence and even the criminal justice system. Challenge them and that's what you get.
Same thing happens with food. Go to Italy and cook an Italian American dish, then gauge the reaction of the people you serve it to. Go to any American backwater and suggest a vegetarian meal, then look at the reaction you get.
Extend that to something as basic as your gender, which has always been a defining factor in social norms and interactions and there will be pushback. Hell, we're only just figuring out how to handle homosexuals in our society, and they've been around forever.
The trans is a product of recent technology. It's people changing one of the most fundamental aspects of their identity, then expecting everybody else to just play along with it.
Not everyone is going to be graceful about that. Some will react violently to it, because it's very far on the edge of social acceptability, and they feel the need to enforce the current norms.
