    That sentiment is nice and all,

    That sentiment, if followed by everyone, would make for a really good and peaceful world to live in. It’s something we should all strive for.

    conservatives literally want to murder me

    I doubt the majority of conservatives would want to literally murder you.

    There are always a few crazies on either end that we all have to deal with.

    for my gender identity,

    My suggestion would be to live somewhere where the majority of the people you live amongst don’t give a flying f about your gender identity and will not harass you about it.

    And then work politically for change, maybe even running for office.

    And if you can’t move, try to find others with the same circumstances as you and network with them, work together, and try to affect change as a group.

    I’m not going to treat those people the way I would want to be treated

    An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

    Human beings are easy to ramp up into destruction, and hard to keep passive into peace.

    The reality is we can’t all just go and do what we want, whenever we want, we have an ethical and social contract with each other that we all need to adhere to.

    When that is not done, war and death happens.
