What some people might not know, since TBP has grown over the last while, and always has not merely new readers, but people who have never considered this before, and people who are newly out every day, trying to find answers, and new allies trying to understand, is why trans people get so damned angry.

At the popular blog "Pam's House Blend" and here at Bilerico, it often seems to many as if trans related posts are always all about anger and rage and people saying the nastiest things to each other. In both cases, there are people who will tell you they avoid anything that has trans in it because they do not want to see that anger and vitriol and all the "drama."

So as we move forward, it's important to talk about why trans folk get so angry, and why they do it so often.
