To Hell with all of It

[Creedence]

Society has come a long way in terms of acceptance and tolerance but sadly it still has a sizable bridge to cross before the trans community along with the gay and lesbian community is fully accepted.

People will always be skeptical, ignorant and worst of all, hateful towards people who's lifestyles differ from what they see as normal.

I can understand you're anger and frustration, the way trans women have been exploited and treated is sickening. The lack of care by the callous media is wrong.

I'm optimistic though that someday women like you Bionca will be fully accepted in this world. It may or may not happen in my lifetime but it will happen and its because of the strength of the women who lived and died just to be themselves.

right. to some of what bloke says i agree in the sense that in the whole picture transgender people being raped and killed is no different from any other woman or man being killed. no one is of higher importance here we're all the same we're human and that's what matters. not that a transgender, woman or man has been killed the fact that a human life was taken BY another human is bad enough. and also look at it this way: rememberence day for the world wars happens one day of the year and you only give 1 minute of silence..one minute for millions of peoples lives that were taken seems bad but nevertheless we have that one minute of silence and after it we go back to our normal lives and mostly forget about the day until it comes back.
its the same about TDOR you give your silence of rememberence and then go back to their lives. from what i gathered it seems like you want us to make a shrine to it all year round now i'm not looking for a fight o anything its just my take on this whole thread

This is a VERY good point - we SHOULD get more places OUTSIDE our own communities to recognise TDOR. Ideally, yes, some of the high profile TG porn sites, but that's unlikely. They're just in it for the money. That'd only happen if we took control of a larger chunk of the industry.
I *DO* however think that sites like THIS ONE ought to make a bigger deal of it. Possibly reskinning for a day, and posting news of some of the worst things to happen in the previous year. To get the message across of just what is suffered by those whom subscribers here so "admire".
