To whom it may concern

To Whom It May Concern,

Meaning you who decide that gendervariant people aren't, and you fill in the rest according to your beliefs, values, whatever. You simply decide gendervariant people are less than human and don't deserve your understanding or acceptance. But that's what you don't get. You see, you think their being is about you. And it's not.

These people haven't done anything to you. They're not against you. They haven't hurt you physically or mentally. All they want to do is get through life just like you, without anyone bothering them, and especially anyone disliking them because they exist. Like you do and are doing. But they didn't do anything to deserve that anger or hatred.

They're just another person living with what they were given and trying to make the best of it. They not only face unreal personal trama and hurt from their family and friends who don't understand and often push them out of their home and lives, they face unreal hardship in life and world from people like you who for simply being.

So why do you hate them? And isn't your hate only yours?
