How horrible. The Guardian did run an okay piece decrying the horrid treatment of trans persons and the illogical justifications for it, such as Just World Theory, ie bad things happen to those who deserve it. In fact they have done studies and if you tell people that someone is suffering and will continue to suffer people want them to suffer even more cause they think they deserve it. But if you tell them the person's life will turn around, they root for them and hate the suffering. People want to believe in a just world. Its completely irrational.
