Why is there so much hate in the world?
I just don’t understand why and how anyone can call for the eradication of a group of people.
There are places in America where they are making it illegal for some people to exist. I have no idea how they can justify writing laws to obliterate someone’s existence. I’m talking about trans people. The worrying thing is that they think they are doing it for the right reasons and to protect people and children from harm. They don’t seem to understand that by removing gender affirming care they are doing immense amounts of harm to trans people.
Gender affirming care has a proven and documented benefit to the people that have received it. The benefits have been seen and documented by medical associations all around the world and despite this evidence this group of people decide to go against it all and tell trans people and medical associations that they are wrong.
It’s just getting scary out in the world for anyone that doesn’t fit into a certain box. The way things are heading in America at the moment is the direction, a man with a tiny moustache, took Germany, in the 1930s. There are states banning books, one has recently banned drag shows. From what I’ve heard, there is one state that wants to let people be sued for calling out someone else’s bigotry or racism. It won’t be long before laws are written to criminalise other members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I know that’s happening in America but the hate is starting to brew and bubble here and rear its ugly head. I’d like to think and I hope that it would never happen here but it’s happening is different places around the world so it’s not a great leap to think someone will try to do it here. So please if you hear or see someone being hateful, bigoted or racist call them out on it.
I’ve been a worried while I was typing that and saying those things that I may lose some friends. But if I lose the ones that think in this nasty way then I’m probably better off without them.
I was going to carry on with the normal update but I don’t fee it will be right to do that. I’ll do it tomorrow or something.
So please be kind
Love and light
One response to “Hate”
Well said Chris. Everyone has a right to be themselves, live in peace and feel safe. The environment in some states in America is very scary. We have to call out hatred and intolerance and shame those who perpetrate it. Unfortunately we have people and institutions in positions of power or influence who peddle hate thinly veiled as a news story or an acceptable opinion making their thoughts mainstream. The trans community isn’t a group that has lots of funds to fight back so is an easy target. I have an American friend who shared with me that her state is going as far as making a law that wedding officiants can refuse to marry gay, trans and even interracial couples. So reminiscent of that poem by the German Pastor Martin Neimoller.
