When a minority, especially an unpopular one, gets all "uppity" and refuses to "play nicely while be bullied", they are the ones who get the shaft. It is victim blaming/shaming, plain and simple. We dare to speak out, and WE are punished. We call out homophobia, transphobia, anti-Semitism, racism, and WE are the "trouble-makers"! We complain how we are treated and WE are punished for making the bully/bigot "feel bad"!

Hang in there!! Vent away!
