How do you feel safe or positive with the world so hostile towards us?

Honestly, Spite helps me stay more optimistic and happy lol. Transphobes are happy when they make your life worse, and they don't deserve happiness for that. If I frame their disgust in a "I made a transphobe's day worse by being myself and being happy" it is easier to keep being happy. This doesn't help with safety, and you still gotta assess your own situation and take steps to protect yourself from violent people. But reframing bad interactions in a way that feels more personally empowering really helps pull me out of the feelings of helplessness with the current situation.

They don't want me to exist and thrive, so fuck 'em, I'm just gonna exist and thrive even harder and they can go cry about it.
