I woke up today to PMs with pictures of cats that were driven over by cars and others similar to the pictures on cigarette packages.
Many transgender users were sent these PMs.

I'm kind of numb already to harassment on the internet. I've already been told by someone that they want to rape me to death and been called all kinds of things from "terrorist" to "nazi".

The first time I was called "it" though I was really feeling it.
I'm very sorry for everybody who was harassed and isn't numb to it yet. I'm feeling with you.

But what really moved me was the reactions of the good people on the #Fediverse.
Tips on how to avoid harassment, on how to show your solidarity with trans* people and mess with the harassers and lots of #FediBlock reports.

Today I'm more proud than ever to be part of the @fediblock team and even more proud to be a transwoman.
