Hara_Juku, I feel that you've had the very unfortunate experience of being associated/been around some really ignorant Black folks, but you should recognize they are but a small sample and should not be used to extrapolate what Black people think as a whole.
I will agree, because I'm not TG, and most are merely referencing their own experiences, that TGs experience more verbal abuse than any group in public, and I'm not surprised if most of it comes from Black women.
That maybe so, but granted as it were..I still go out and see black men and still am friends with alot of black girls. My first bf when moving here to the USA was black. It doesn't really bother me about skin color what bothers me is the fact that and let me emphasize for clarity - that a few/some black people tend to be tactless and too outspoken even when one wasn't really asking their opinions about being transgendered passing judgment on anyone for their own amusement without hardly looking at themselves for their own faults and shortcomings. Like doing that is really fruitful. Not only does that hurt but these has driven other tg's to have low self esteem/self worth and disfunctional or worst to suicide.
I don't think one should be too quick and call someone a racist because she stated an opinion based on her experience/s like me or Vanessa. No one can ever dispute those horrible experiences because it's not their experiences to begin with. That's all. If you've never been at the receiving end of a black girls fury then you'll never know how vicious and violent they could get at times. We can all agree to disagree but that's life!
It's just tiring hearing people size you up or call you a hater because you happen to be different - transgendered, gay or lesbian or when you have a strong opinion about something which are formed and based from one's own life experiences.
