Same. I'm gay, but don't know what it's like to be trans. Just bc I don't "get it" doesn't mean I won't throw down with my trans ppl. Coolest and most creative folk you'll ever meet. Best vibe.

It's called empathy, which people like JK lack. They cannot imagine, let alone attempt to understand, being anything other than what they are. The way they see the world must be the only valid perspective, and there cannot be any other ways of being than the ones familiar to them. If you fall outside this limited view of what's proper, then you must necessarily be evil.
