Words have power

This is something I just posted on Facebook I'm reposting it here - as its something people should think about

Words have power - Please do some  fact checking /some thinking before just hiting the share button when sharing posts or pictures or even speaking - I have noticed that many people make jokes about transgender people / or call transgender people trannes or use other transphobic words when they think they  being funny - the thing is by sharing such posts or using such words (even if you are making a joke) you are in a way giving the ok for other people (who may or may not know it's a joke /someone trying to be funny) to be transphobic and hateful towards any transgender person they might see or meet therefore putting other people's lives at risk  - yes there has been people (most who had never seen me before ) that have tryed to attack me or even tryed to kill me - why? the only reason was because of a joke or untrue storys they heard some where about transgender people and so thought that they should attack or kill the next transgender person they saw - in this case me - who is just like anyone else going about they life - on a side note using a transgender person old name /gender is not nice as that is not who they are anymore (so please call then by the name /gender they wish to be called - it's also about not outing then in public as being transgender )

So if you post/share (or make) a transphobic joke or fake story I will be unfriending/Unfollow you (some of you may get a warning pointing out the issue) as you are indirectly putting my life at risk (and the the other lives of transgender people and they friends /family - yes transphobic people do at times go after the friends and family members of transgender people)
