Vermont's TG Candidate Getting Death Threats

[Carolyn Marie]

I'm not the least surprised.  From 12 year old school girls to candidates for governor and everything in between; threats are part of accepting who we are, if we plan to live in the world.

The H8ers are classified as "Good People" by our nation leadership these days and feel bold about being "Good People" and thus show that "goodness" of threatening mayhem and death against  people.  Maybe none of them would do those things because they are "Good People" in general, but one who follows through on the hate is too much.

I am not surprised that she is experiencing this kind of intimidation.  My impression of her is that she is well able to handle the h8ers.  Hopefully voters will rally to support her as well.

Yep!  I'm kinda glad I'm a minority now and I'm SO thankful for the solidarity found online.   We are sweet mixed with tenacious and we are united in common experience making us a force to be reckoned with.   To the h8ters, the bigots and the religious conservative I say, "bring it!"  I'm not backing down ...and don't mess with MY peeps!!!

It's sad and irritating and frustrating and troubling that it's that way though.

I believe so, unfortunately.  I also read today of a candidate in Montana that was harassed by her opponent who repeatedly used her dead name and wrong pronouns.  A reporter wanted to talk about campaign issues but they wanted to talk about the gender of the other candidate.  Some people are so shallow.
