    I mean why do anything with your mentality? Everything is pointless. Transphobes have fists, too, so no point in fighting them. They have legs so they can just catch trans people that run away. I guess if trans people get ambushed by a transphobe, they should just lie down and accept their beating and possible death as a natural consequence of being trans.

      because there's better ways to deal with threatening situations? deescalation, situational awareness, and similar skills are much more useful for self-defense than guns. I've literally had to deal with this for years. I'm brown and trans - there's a target on my back.

        How exactly do you think trans people should deescalate transphobes attempting to do a hate crime to them?
