I was incredibly shocked how hateful people could be. Not the type of shock that is found when you don\u2019t understand or are confused. It was a shock that say, \u201chow is this possible?\u201d I cannot wrap my head around the fact that people are so hateful against other beings. First of all, everyone has the right to just exist, to just be. The topic of this week is focused around trans rights and inequalities. It is almost as similar to racism; these aren\u2019t subjecting that individuals are born with. Life experiences and caretakers have played a big role in to why they view the world in the way that they do. The first reading by Vasquez, \u201cIt\u2019s Time to End the Long History of Feminism Failing <\/a>Transgender Wome<\/a>n\u201d shows how there are women that are so opposed to the idea that trans women have rights and should be treated with such respect as any other individual. What stood out to me what when Brennan would feel so \u201cthreatened\u201d by the fact that she would be mocked with her retrograded ideas and would be called out for what she stood for. That she would go the step ahead to make her stalker move on whoever called her out by outing them to their workplace and home environment. I think she is disgusting even though we live in a country of free speech I think hate speech should be banned. It is disgusting that groups of women are trans-exclusionary feminist; how can you be a feminist and not want equal rights for every individual? It just seems absurd to me. The slides show that other individuals, like certain men fight for that justice to happen for everyone to be considered the way they feel comfortable in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
