[quote=Anonymous]\One of my neighbors put out an online "ad" for a young adult she didn't even know the name of or know anything about but just heard through the grapevine who had been "rejected by their parents" according to them and needed a place to stay because they felt unsafe. The person was transgender and had a history of mental instability and was an adult. Many people wrote in to say the person could stay with them for a week and how bad they felt for the person based on the one line alone that they felt rejected. Various groups in the town writing to condemn the parents and provide help. Random strangers the person didn't even know offering a room. The mentally unstable adult got on the thread to thank them for all their care thus increasing this person's victim mentality and probably furthering anger toward their parents. The person was an adult that if they didn't like their parent's living situation, they could just have thanked their parents for the time after school for providing a home and moved out of the house on their own like any other adult would. Likely the person was crossing a boundary set at home and that's why they felt "rejected" since it was very sudden but even if it was transgender related, the person was not a victim. They were an adult with their own choices.

Because these people writing in felt they were "too rich" and needed to somehow identify with the "victimized" (to feel justified in their riches I guess) inserted themselves into the life of someone they didn't even know the name of to ridicule the parents who lived in the town who had cared for the child well into adulthood. They had no idea they were subconsciously doing this to help their own ego. No idea that their actions were going to help destabilize a relationship with the person's intimate family further while they could only offer a week of help and that they were victimizing someone they didn't even know in the slightest and condemning someone they didn't even know in the slightest. A few rational people gave links to organizations that could help in times of actual crisis rather than pile on the insanity and hopefully could provide a better regulated service. Knee jerk reactions like this example are also insanity and simply based on a label that this person is transgender and therefore automatically a victim.

This stuff is happening all over in the schools. Schools thinking parents don't need to know how their child goes by as gender and name at school but yet are responsible for them is insanity. Labeling every mentally unstable person as a victim or a perpetrator depending on the action without a full picture is insanity. There is a lot of insanity going around. Most people don't know any of the politicians running well enough to know their motives or why they do the things they do. Many conservative people legitimately thought there was something wrong with the election. I think she attended the rally but didn't storm it. Maybe they feel differently now, or they don't and are still disillusioned. This is not the only disillusionment going around though. One of the current school board members got into a fight with cops refusing to cooperate and then posted about how she was a victim. Also, insanity. There is disillusionment on both sides about many different topics.

There you go.[/quote]
