transphobia
Earlier, I said that I don't understand cruelty. I especially don't understand gleeful cruelty.
I want to share what happened when I transitioned with you.
This is a post from my sister's then husband back in 2005.
He gleefully and excitedly talks about the cruelty he is about to visit upon me. Potentially getting me fired by outing me to my employer before I'm ready.

I asked my dad to help me out and talk to these people who were doing this to me. He called my mom, my sister, and this person as well. He posted this in response.

Some folks posted stuff... in my defense. My sister's ex-husband posted in response.
That brown box? That's my mom.

@pandora_parrot - I know who that anonymous person was (not me). They were a transman I knew who was pretty incensed at your brothers LJ comments.

@dolari There were several anonymous folks on that one. I'm glad they spoke out. Those anonymous posts scared me, but were also a light in the dark.

@pandora_parrot - We were all very worried about you. Your family was being psychotically cruel and we could see the pain it was causing you.
I'd have to deal with something similar a few years later, although not with cruelty, but with "drama." Two people who decided that creating drama for me and a lover was going to be that year's entertainment.
They destroyed my relationship, my trust in many of my friends, and when it was all over, they moved on to my no-longer love and fucked with them until they got bored.
I no longer put up with people who seem to just stir shit, I cut them off.
But for you - they were family. And I can see why you hung on for so long, even though it took a very heavy toll on you.

@dolari psychotically cruel really describes them well, doesn't it?

@dolari I will cut off anyone that participates in any form of this sort of thing. Period.
It's why I cut off my ex a year and a half ago when she was cruelly participating in soft deporting her metamour while he was out of the country dealing with his father's imminent death.
I will never accept cruelty in my life like that.
